Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
The modularity is the happiness of the one who wants to do the QRP, the one who wants to do the digital to the one who wants a great power for a better comfort of traffic. I bought QRplabs kits and

Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
Atouk, I'm of a mind to agree.? Though 10w is not increasing the power, only trying to get more than 2W at 10M maybe.? However general cleanliness of the output spectra is important if only to meet

Re: Current Firmware
Dennis: For the Win 7 machine, unpack the ZIP file into a temporary directory. With the Arduino IDE (or a text editor), open each INO file until you find the one that holds both the setup() and loop()

Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
Hi atouk, I had the same thought. Make the UBITX as clean as possible with fairly even power across the bands say at 10 watts. Create an amplifier supplying about 50+ watts and small as possible.

Try clamping the mic on TX. No room audio. De-thump should still work. (Theoretical :-) ). de ZL2DEX

Hi Armin, 1. The file I used from Gary was an ino file. (he also sent along a hex file, but I couldn't get ArduinoBuilder to work) 2. I originally used the zip file from Github - this file contained

I found some tips for my Hakko iron that are wide with a square notch in the end that straddles the part and melts both sides at once.

Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
With the amount of rework and component changes on the board to get higher power, wouldn't a better strategy be to get the cleanest output possible, and spend the time designing an external PA that

Re: UBITX. FT8 heat sink requirements

I too don't note much heat on them but the little 3904s sure heat up.? I did put one of the tiny Raspberry pi 5v fans with a dropping resistor to give them a little air. You have to add a 7805

Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
One comment on higher power... The T30-6 toroids are way to small for more than 10W.? So all the low pass filters in the corner wold require revisiting. Most people at 10W use T37-2 or t37-6 and
