Re: boosting the power on 28 MHz #ubitx
That's interesting. Perhaps the bias wants to be higher than 100ma. Though as I recall, wa2eby was recommending 10ma of bias, and is quite competent. As is Allison. Perhaps there's IMD contributions

Re: ND6T AGC implementation for uBIT-X
I somewhat agree with Tim on this, but will go out on a limb, risk getting flamed and say I don't think a reverse power measurement in firmware is really necessary. In my opinion, two absolutely

Re: ND6T AGC implementation for uBIT-X
The goal is whatever we want it to be. Showing SWR on the uBitx makes it useful for verifying an antenna system is working? without having to lug about an extra box, especially when operating

Re: boosting the power on 28 MHz #ubitx
Jerry, I tried raising the voltage on my final to 24v. It didn't help the 3rd order IMD at all. I suspect most of the IMD is coming from crossover distortion, not flat-topping. tim ab0wr "Jerry Gaffke

Re: FW: [BITX20] RD16HHF1 power curve flattening...some
I vote for making the PA output transformer primary winding centertapped, and feeding Vcc into that center tap instead of using the two chokes from Vcc to the drains. When using LTSpice to simulate it

Re: ND6T AGC implementation for uBIT-X
Jerry, What is the goal here? Is a wattmeter function really needed inside the ubitx? Or would it be better as an external attachment that can be used with other equipment? For me, measurement of the

Re: ND6T AGC implementation for uBIT-X
Here's my unproven code for displaying forward and reverse power in Watts plus SWR on the bottom line of the 16x2 LCD, when using a TandemMatch with diode detectors. It's actually quite simple and not

Re: 45Mhz crystal filter specification
I'm using a direct probe. The 815 has a 50ohm input which should be a match to most points in the ubitx. At least a close enough match to not directly affect the circuits operation. I suppose I could

FW: [BITX20] RD16HHF1 power curve flattening...some
Ashhar¡­ see this result too. The PA output transformer is sub-optimal so some of us have found. Needs to be 2T:3T and frequency compensated by a cap across the primary. My simulations show something

Re: Need help understanding a line of code in ubitx_si5351.cpp (msxp2 = ...) #radiuno
It is admittedly obtuse code.?? Pretty much by nature, as the registers on the si5351 are rather obtuse. But I convinced myself it was correct (with no overflows) before releasing it. I doubt most

Re: ND6T AGC implementation for uBIT-X
Yes, you¡¯ve got it. The Nyquist sampling theory sets the limit of resolving the Power (and hence SWR), and the A/D rate needs to be faster than that or it won¡¯t work properly. For a 3 KHz signal

Re: Using MPSA18 darlington in the driver? #parts #ubitx
Also have some MPSA13 coming in, those are the darlington, not the MPSA18, sorry about the confusion. Part number is pretty well the same except one number.? The 13 is what I meant to ask about using

Re: Using MPSA18 darlington in the driver? #parts #ubitx
The hfe on these is typically 1150. Max is 1500, min is 500. I was curious as to if the higher gain might help with the drive on 30 meters and up.

Re: boosting the power on 28 MHz #ubitx
Yes, the plan was to use an RD device for the new version. We ran into availability issues. The lead time from Mitsuibishi was 10 weeks. So, I took a call to continue with the IRF510s. However, the
