POP fix
I found a cure for the ¦ÌBITX T/R click that *WORKS* ! The scheme by VA7AT reduces it down to near nuthin'. I documented it on ND6T.com. ( http://www.nd6t.com/uBITX/TR%20Click%20Fix.htm ) Thanks

If your very sure which pins are what on the regulator, which should be
fairly easy to determine, then cut the output. Now, the output should have
a capacitor across it to be stable, but, for a quick

Re: Component in schematic
It would appear you are looking at the operating winding on a relay. It
would look like a coil of wire around a piece of iron that would pull
the relay springs to move through magnetism.

Re: U1 fried
There's a photo at the end of that webpage where I can just barely read a "CX" logo on their problematic TDA2822.
So WX and CX are perhaps best avoided?
I have no idea who "CX" is, though possible

Re: B40 LM386 and ?B TDA2822 and that 470?F Cap
Dave,
It depends on how the radio is designed. If the radio uses a
well-designed mono jack, one with a switched tip lead, it probably won't
hurt anything. When I say switched, with no plug inserted

Re: B40 LM386 and ?B TDA2822 and that 470?F Cap
Vince,
You missed the point. If you wire the tda2822 to both the tip and the
ring and then plug in a mono headphone you *will*, in almost every
case, short the output of the tda2822 to ground via the

You can buy cheap adapters that do the same thing. Connect both headset

Also check that your ground connection to the Raduino is correct.
If your GND to the Raduino is OK, but you're still getting only 0.04V out
of the regulator, then
- either the regulator output is

Input is 12.58 volts output is 0.04 volts.
Checked multiple times. It seems it might have gone out?

Re: TDA2822 ill treatment test! Photo of blown TDA
So two reports of "WX" TDA2822M's going up in smoke.
I'm very very curious if all blown chips turn out to be WX branded,
and none are FCI.

There is a website for?

Could you measure each of the pins on the regulator ? Carefully.

When you connect the Raduino to your PC, it will get +5V power supply via the USB cable.
This voltage goes to the input of the 7805 voltage regulator. What voltage do you see on the regulator output?

Yes it lights up but no text. Also the power and light under the display comes on. But not when attached to the bitx.
