Re: Tell me your favorite uBitx mods
As far as alignment is concerned, if the new board has holes over the locations of the Pots on the uBitX board then that at least can be done without service cables or board removal. Clark Martin

Re: SYMBOLS
I like to take a bit mapped image of something and paste it into my drawing program. Then I use it as a guide to drawing the object. Now I have a vector image of it which can be scaled up

Re: Tell me your favorite uBitx mods
At first I had some erratic keying. The contacts of my vibroplex paddle had to be cleaned as the contacts were showing a few 100 ohms and this was freaking out the Raduino. The keying is done by the

Re: SYMBOLS
i draw them in inkscape. they are simple symbols to make. if you use the same thickness of lines eveeywhere, then they look consistent. the other thing to do is to scrap them off arrl handbook'a pdfs.

*3 Days getting familiar with the MicroBITX...* *CW Keying* as is - isn't really usable. Critical on the fix it list. It misses the first dit or even dah and the faster you send with the paddle, and

Re: Tell me your favorite uBitx mods
The only things requiring a cable/wire are the AGC mods. All the rest interface with the existing headers and would just plug in. Noted though... could make it a cable that's easy to remove.

Re: Tell me your favorite uBitx mods
This new board will hide all the parts on the uBitx, servicing will require a cable set to split the boards. Might be better to flip over the uBitx. Alternately, mount the new board under the uBitx

Si5351/A Utility Console
This has been very useful to me so I'll share it in case it is useful to others. I have written an Arduino sketch that provides a simple command-line console (serial) to control most features of an

Bitx40 Qrp PA module
Happy 2018 for everyone in everywhere. Here something I am doing before to test the board for a 'modular rig" This is the Qrp PA (100 x 33 mm)from the Bitx40v3 schematic with small change in the

Re: #ubitx Power output on 40 / 80 m with high current levels #ubitx
Layout is important, as John has said.? I'd suggest a very short source lead soldered directly to the ground plane, keep the drain lead well separated from the other two (Allison suggests clipping

Re: #ubitx Re: Ubitx only on preorder now #ubitx
Correct, a custom clearance fee but there should not be any taxes.

Re: #ubitx Re: Ubitx only on preorder now #ubitx
DHL will charge a customs clearance fee and ?HST will be applied to the value of the goods on top of that.? For the BITX40 the extra charges were around $Can 30, so it will be more for the uBITX.

Re: Tell me your favorite uBitx mods
So, this is roughly what I'm thinking for the layout thus far. Here's what you're seeing thus far: uBitx is underneath the PCB on .5" standoffs (Supplied with the uBitx kit). The uBitx itself is 1/4"

Re: #ubitx Power output on 40 / 80 m with high current levels #ubitx
Alex: What you are doing is all the right things to find the right combination to drive the IRF510's. Get a hold of and really read the original article by WA2EBY for all the things he discovered

Re: #ubitx IRF510 concerns, different modes #ubitx
General rule of thumb is no more than 25 to 30% of the total output of the rig. He always control the output by the audio level in and if you can monitor it back off until the alc Barely indicates....

Re: Tell me your favorite uBitx mods
So looking at the schematic, it's basically an IF amp (MC1350P, which is obsolete/harder to get, though I have gotten them from Jameco before) with a dual gate mosfet as the attenuation stage. The
