Blown (socketed) TDA2822?
While attempting to get digital working on my ?Bitx, I had the plugs from the Easy Digi mislabeled. The line from the computer audio out was plugged into my speaker jack. I discovered my error and

Re: Stray RF?
I couldn't get the error to show it's ugly head under testing last night. I tried antenna, dummy load, & multiple bands. Perhaps I fixed it while changing something. If it happens again, I have a good

QRP Labs BPF power handling
How much power could handle the Bandpass filters by QRP Labs? Could they be used just adding them in line between the Ubitx and the antenna to attenuate the TX spurs on 15m and 12m?

Re: TDA 28222
Stick with the TDA2822, it works fine. Of the TDA2822 types that the uBitx shipped with, only the WX clones blew at anything less than 15v. If you drive a low impedance speaker (4, maybe 8 ohms) at

I've worked with computer buses since the early '70s.? Most buses get standardized about the time they become obsolete.? Trying to set a standard simply forces people to look elsewhere for something

Re: Understanding Spurious Emissions
The overdrive occurs in the audio drive to the mixer.? There is no gain control for the microphone. I found on my board that the gain was too low. You can look at the mixer input with a scope and see

As Carl said, this kit was packed incredibly well. I was surprised to see the plastic box inside the package, to be honest. I've ordered a LOT of stuff from overseas, including all too much stuff that

Re: Understanding Spurious Emissions
Spurs are generated in mixer stages. Overdriving your audio can increase the amplitude of those spurs. It can also generate 3rd order IMD products. Adjusting RV1 down won't help with the spurs but it

Re: Understanding Spurious Emissions
Thanks for the concise explanation! As for overdriving your audio, is this something that can be solved by dialing down RV1 to reasonable levels, or are the spurs created before that stage?

Thats fine, use a 16 ohm speaker and it will run cool!
