Re: Building homebrew ubitx: Need pre-v3 schematic PDF. Also, source for 45M15 (45 MHz IF) filter?
49.152 MHz crystals can be obtained in fundamental mode (mostly in SMD package; 5x7mm is not too difficult to work with, but smaller packages certainly are), however, check datasheets carefully and

William, Short answer not required.? Though I could as I have I2C displays handy. The UI will not use a rotary encoder.? There will be an up button and down buttons that operate as push once briefly

Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
first don't remove r2b.. I measure Voltage across the emitter resistor and then calculate it I=E/R. I can run a calculator much faster than soldering iron. The current is highest in Q22 and that will

ND6T AGC question
I would like to drive the AGC board with 12V not 5V and assume this involves changing some resistor values. The voltage divider which biases the FET Q2 appears straightforward enough, changing R3 from

Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
Allison do you know how much current Q20, Q21, Q22 draws,the reason for asking is simple,i have a lot of BFR93 and?they only handle 35ma and 300mw .i would like to avoid remove r2b to mesure it

Re: Removing surface mounted resistor

For limited work my butane soldering iron (I think it is a Weller) has a hot air tip that works well. It is as hot or hotter than my embossing gun (cheap from Hobby Lobby or Joann's Fabric) and works

Dear Allison,? Thank you. Just a few clarifications please: ¡° I didn't? try 2n2963A as I didn't have any left in SMT but I suspect they would have been better.¡± I assume that¡¯s a 2N2369A, and

Re: Raduino replacement

Kj6etl, did you solve your tuning issue? I remember it as seeming similar to the issue I had. In my case it was what I first expected, ie a bum encoder and the new encoder made the issue disappear.

Btw, you don't have to remove anything to make the 'pop cure' mod. You can leave that resistor in and add another in series with it on an outboard circuit. - f jgaffke@...> wrote:

Easy enough I suppose, but I do see a lifted pad there, 4 up from the bottom left. The biggest problem with most rework is damage to the board, though that one looks easy to deal with. How did you go
