Re: Soldering gun or iron
I have learnt to live with just about any iron. What matters really is a
nice clean tip. These days they are tips that don't pit. I like those. Keep
a good sponge, wipe them often.

The images of what I needed minimum. It looks like the station is not
available but there are ones with more features around 70$.

Re: Soldering gun or iron
I find that holding my own hands sill enough to put a part the size of a
couple grains of rice on a pcb without lifting a pad or tossing it on the
floor is difficult for me even. Im 33! It looks to me

Re: UBitX Transmit Problem Fixed
All I know is I wasn’t getting the correct voltages on Q90. It was 0 volts dc on all three pins. I was also losing the transmit dc in the vicinity of R84. So I replaced them both. Yeah, I know, kind

Blew the irf510's up, substituted irfp260's in there place...
#ubitx-help
Well, pushing the limits on the irf510 mosfets, they caved on me. So, digging through my junk I found four irfp260's and soldered them in as an effort to get back on the air. So far, it seems to work,

Likewise somewhere I have my original Weller Soldering Gun from around
1958! Yes, it still works but I don't really have a use for it. I do

Re: Micro BitX No Audio TDA2822?
Some of these clones seem to blow for no particular reason.
I think we primarily must limit the supply voltage, not so much the current under load.
Though they are really good at dealing with

Re: Micro BitX No Audio TDA2822?
Quiescent current into the TDA2822 is around 6ma, peaks can be 1 Amp.
Though?100ma might be sufficient for moderate speaker volumes.
You would need two resistors for a voltage divider, and maybe

One could use a voltage drop resistor. The higher the current draw, lower
would be the voltage to the TDA2822

Regarding Joe's suggestion of using the Raduino's LM7805 to power the TDA2822:
One objection I would have is the extra wire, needs to be dealt with every time?
I unplug the Raduino.? Though not a

Re: 13.8 v power supplies safe for bitx?
Jerry,
I'm not sure everyone understands what foldback current limiting
is. Your message 40729 explains it well. In action it is like a fuse.
The power supply opens the power lead until the operator

Re: RD transistors, unobtanium?
IRF510 and IRF512 both have a Vds max of 100v.
According to these guys, at least, not many IRF512 datasheets out there:

Re: 13.8 v power supplies safe for bitx?
True.? The standard current limiting supply I described is not something to lean on
to avoid driving the final too hard, that's not what I was suggesting.

Re: RD transistors, unobtanium?
Actually, the closest available MOSET to the IRF510
is the IRF512, which is the same device, only it is rated
for a drain voltage of 100v. It goes by other numbers as well.
There are many devices

Re: 13.8 v power supplies safe for bitx?
When you current limit the PA you are doing the same thing that happens
when you overdrive a linear amp and cause flat-topping, i.e. the PA is
driven out of its linear range.
That causes spurious
