Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
Based on the known data that if the gain falls with increasing frequency the fix is obvious. Use devices that have better performance over the frequency range.?? The fix the problem approach is

Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
Allison, Getting the analog stuff to where it is flat from 3.5-30mhz is preferred if the mods are easy, we much appreciate your efforts in this in this regard. However, gain per band can be done with

Re: spurious signals on FT8

A few things I found with my Bitx40 and Ubitx. Turn the drive down in the rig itself for digi modes, also check for any kind of ground looping. When I was 1st running my Bitx40 I ran r136 at half of

You are absolutely right. We had similar discussions for the Raduino sketch for?BitX40 at the time. During TX the frequency shouldn't be shifted - the actual TX frequency should be?equal to?the

Re: Nextion Display
Initially, I had an analog S-meter on the JackAl board, but changed to a bar meter, mainly because I was running out of nano-acres. You can make the meter look "less jerky" if, when you compare the

Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
HI Rahul, Gain per band has been widely used and work save for its rarely cheap and tends to add a lot of circuitry. Equalizers are well known too.? For the astute may notice I'm taking that path. To

This seemed odd to me, too, but since I'm not an EE type, I simply assumed this was the way it's done and jumped on the bandwagon. I worried about two hams chasing each other right out of the band,

Re: toggle for low output and max output?

On a somewhat related note, that code of post 44278 conforms with the stock uBitx firmware in that it keeps the BFO on the low side of the 12mhz crystal filter. This was done to avoid having audio

There are 2 pole and 4 pole variants of that 45mhz crystal filter. HFSignals is probably using the 2 pole. If this method of transmitter attenuation is to be used,? would be best to keep using the
