Re: Raduino CAD Files
My present layout (on the screen now) extends the Raduino width about an inch or so to the right (inside). The Pill board is set in toward the left about 1.5", leaving room on the right for a very

Re: Socketing a Nano to the other side of the Raduino
Allison and all, with the KD8CEC firmware you can opt for a I2C display connection; the display can be remote quite some distance with just 2 wires (plus power and ground). Rod KM6SN

Re: #ubitx #ubitx-help #ubitx-help #ubitx
For the life of me I do not understand why the diode is before the fuse. The fuse should always be first as it needs to operate for all faults even reverse polarity. Allison

Re: #ubitx #ubitx-help #ubitx-help #ubitx
I know it's not the best but the shunt diode did protect my MTR 5. My problem was I did NOT have a fuse in the line so the smd diode let the smoke out (opened up as it vaporized). I now fuse all B+

Re: #ubitx #ubitx-help #ubitx-help #ubitx
It's certainly possible that it works in some cases. But without a fuse, that shunt diode scheme is not an insurance policy I'm willing to buy. Worse than nothing, it gives is a false sense of

Hi, is the 330pf across the PA transformer mod all what is needed to get reasonable output (5w) on 28mhz or should I also make the Farhan mods ( Replace C81 from 0.1uf to 470pf Replace R83 from 10

Knob adapter sleeve (6mm ID, 1/4 inch OD)
I got a bit frustrated finding a knob to fit the 6mm knobs on the uBitx.? Fortunately I found these adapter sleeves to bring the shaft OD up to 1/4 inch so I can use standard American 1/4 shaft

Re: #ubitx #ubitx-help #ubitx-help #ubitx
This reference suggests silicon diodes generally fail with a short when subjected to over-voltage. And generally fail with an open when subjected to too much current. ?

Generally silicon diodes will fail with a short circuit, protecting the hardware.
