Re: I'm really stuck! No Xmit Pwr. #ubitx
Chip: It you like, I can walk you through some diagnostics over the phone, provided your scope has sufficient bandwidth to use it to trouble shoot. What is the bandwidth of your scope, and do you have

Re: uBitx V4 linearity mod in final audio amplifier #ubitx
Why not just feed each base with a capacitor from the pre-driver and add a 1k resistor to gnd from the base of the pnp? Then the biasing isn't a problem. tim ab0wr

Re: Output power
The DL I mentioned the other day has this resistor pack: in it, which has 20 3W 1000¦¸ resistors sitting in a bath of mineral oil. Overkill by a factor of 20 for QRP, but great if you work both QRP

Re: I'm really stuck! No Xmit Pwr. #ubitx
Chip?? It is possible to use your oscilloscope to trace signal flow, but the scope needs to have adequate bandwidth for the signal being viewed.? A diode detector (1N4148 diodes work fine for all

Re: Understanding Spurious Emissions
Most who have performed detailed tests seem to indicate that unwanted spurs are a problem only if AF or RF drive levels are set too high.? On CW the uBITX does not use modulation and thus has low

I am reading this thread. I really have no comments except that there is no objective measurement or audio clip that i can comment upon. Hence let me make some general comments. As old timers will

Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
I took a look at the datasheet.? It might be a good part to try.? I'd be curious to hear if they work for you. Hint if you go with 2n5109s due to their size its easier to put on on the top and the

Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
I have to agree with Allison. I tried KSP10s (TO-92) and a KST10s (SOT-23). These are exactly the same as the MPSH10s. Things went backwards. They only dissipate 350mw. The FT is higher but it

Re: Output power
You don't need an Arduino to measure power. You need a load (10W) such as six 300 ohm 2 watt metal film resistors in parallel and a 1n5711 diode to rectify the RF.? ? Look around the net as that is

Nick, The biggest difference is the BFR106 has a FT of 5GHZ minimum and the MMBTh10 its 650 (typical). That is the starting point.? ?That should stand out for a application that requires a lot of
