I mistakenly plugged a mono plug external speaker in and it squealed.

Re: ubitx receive audio troubleshooting
Craig,
Just to eliminate audio vibration feedback (microphonics), disconnect an internal speaker and try and external one a short distance away from the circuit board and mic. 73 Mike KF6KXG

Re: Higher voltage for Bitx40 Final
11.5v should be fine, make sure it is still 11.5 when PTT is pressed.
Quiescent IRF510 drain current changing somewhat as they get warm is normal
The drop from 6w to 4w when V+ to the IRF510's is

Yes it has only been reported in two units so far. So it should not be a show stopper for anyone.
The radio is usable and I will simply add an audio low pass filter if need be.

Re: BITX QSO Afternoon/Night, Sunday, February 4, 3PM/7PM Local Time, 7277 kHz in North America, 7177 kHz elsewhere
I tried 7222 and it sounded like there was a station way down
in the mud. I also tried to listen for myself on a number of SDR
radios around the country and nothing. I will try back later.

For anything this complicated, a few units will fail in the field, if only due to rough handling through the mails.
The uBitx count is now up in the thousands.

Re: Toroids winding information

My idea would be to divide and conquer.
First step, see if you get proper quiescent currents through the IRF510's.
Put an ammeter in line with 12v supply for the IRF510's,
turn RV2 and RV3 to the
