Re: Kicad Does it have Sparkfun and Adafruit libraries, or can they be imported? Those companies make a lot of small gadgets that can be used as parts of larger projects, if a 'footprint' can be

Re: Raduino Replacemnt, COMING SOON!
The caps in the si5351 clock lines are definitely required. If soldering the adafruit board in permanently, could use small through-hole caps instead of header pins. If socketing the adafruit board,

Re: Schematic Drawing Software
Kicad is indeed being actively developed, getting better all the time ? ??/g/BITX20/message/39469 A release candidate for Kicad version 5.0 should be out "soon", I'd guess a day

Re: Raduino Replacemnt, COMING SOON!
i noticed this board and the original raduino are different in the fact that the .1uf cap on the 3 clock lines are missing. the adafruit brreakout does not have them. just an observation dave

Re: Schematic Drawing Software
Kicad is also directly supported in Linux Mint and can be installed from the Synaptic Package Manager.? It even has templates for the Arduino Nano! Ron W7HD

Re: Schematic Drawing Software
craig, i used it for a bit and then i switched to kicad and never looked back. upverter worked well for me. but i couldnt get a footprint for si570 into it. i find kicad much easier to work with

For about 20 dollars, you could buy a VOM, a screw driver, a soldering iron. Add that to the $109 for the ubitx, and you will still have a cheap rig that you could assemble on a

Re: #ubitx Calibration resolution #ubitx
I think the USB IF shift has a bug as the carrier frequency moves by twice as much as the IF shift. It must be a subtraction instead of an addition or vice versa. I really like what Ian has done with

Hi David, Again, I apologize for not properly explaining myself. I'm highly mobile, so I would need something ultra-portable. I do not have a fixed location. And the rig that I was focused on before

Hi Mark Try looking at the NorCal website. Amongst other things is the multi-band Norcal Doublet antenna that can be made quite cheaply. It does require a Z-match tuner, which can be bought as a kit

Hi Dexter, Appreciate the response. Do you know if I would only need a tuner if I had dual/multi-band rig? If I only have a 40m rig, then no tuner necessary? Mark

Hi Patrick, Yes, I agree. I quickly put myself through a course on this while studying for the exam. It was a brief introduction to the major topics that I could observe. This included YouTube videos

Jerry Thanks for the suggestions. I'm reading over your message. I will be adding it to the antenna section of my expanding HAM text file. I think you have a point too, about my expectations. I was

Re: Schematic Drawing Software
Mr. Farhan,? Do you use upverter? Do you mind sharing, for how long? To what extent? I looked at their model, it seems to be free for some level of service then inside app charges for more? But, I
