Re: uBITXII
Hi Jerry, Yes you are right, some sound okay and others don't. At the cheap price of Electret elements, I order some from several different sources and just solder in one at a time and listen to

Re: uBITX narrow IF filter mod for CW, anyone tried this?
Increasing the caps as Farhan pointed out elsewhere would fine but then you should adjust the BFO to put the signals in the passband.? That mod however makes SSB really poor both RX and TX. While

Re: uBITXII
Though many report good performance from the mike element that comes with the kit. At around $0.10 each, it's possible the quality might vary a bit between units and between manufacturers. Jerry

Re: uBITXII
"address the microphone audio" Not sure what there is to address about the mic audio. I have built 5 BitXs including the uBitx and I get good audio reports on all of them, of course I'm using the

Re: Buyer beware! RD16HHF1
Allison,?? Please don't get offended as this is just my 2 cents worth. Of your list, only RFParts has the?RD16HHF1. Ordering 4 for $19.00 and a dollars worth of something else to meet the $20.00

Re: Buyer beware! RD16HHF1
Also, keep in mind that if you plan to move from the IRF510 to the RD16HHF1,? the uBitx final should have some adjustments to the transformer ratios and such. The RD16HHF1 is not quite a drop in

Re: uBITX drive level.. #ubitx
Going to 150ma should be fine, so long as those IRF510 tabs are not getting so hot that it's uncomfortable to keep your finger on it. But those bias pots are very touchy once you get into the active

Re: Buyer beware! RD16HHF1
Allison has quite a few posts here. None have discouraged experimentation with the IRF510's. Quite the contrary. She did however suggest you get your RF parts from reliable vendors, be they IRF510's

There's a thread on the B40's sensitivity here. Signals were heard down to -130dbm and the results were verified. /g/BITX20/topic/5447469#30094 Vince. -- Michigan VHF Corp.

Re: uBITXII
Yes this was a popular way of varying the bandwidth of filters in its time. Varying the capacitance of the diodes via voltage to vary the roll-off frequency/sharpness of the filters. Quite simple to

Re: uBITX drive level.. #ubitx
Hi Jerry, What do you mean by "Be very careful about setting those pots to "a lot more" than 100ma,? that's a good way to make the IRF510's pop from the heat." What's? a lot more? I found I needed
