Re: RFI from uBitx TX after AGC and other mods installed
After I sent this it dawned on me to check the 12v supply as well. Sure enough, it's there too. FWIW, I'm powering it off a 20A Astron 13.8v linear power supply and feeding it into my old Heathkit

Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
One last thing, testing CW uses none of the IF and modulator so if it works you can't know if the IF is fine. MUST test using SSB.? Ideal bias for Q20 will have the collector at about 6V (+-1V).? To

Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
R23 change yes and 18 ohms may be too low still. Likely operating point, R21 may be too low. Before you go to band pass filters try one thing... pain to install, Low pass filter between the junction

Re: RFI from uBitx TX after AGC and other mods installed
Sure does, Mark. Now to find where it's coming from. Please check the 12 volt input pin of the Raduino's 7805. See if it is there, too. On my AGC boards I don't have ANY bypassing on the 5 volt feed

Re: RFI from uBitx TX after AGC and other mods installed
Don... I finally had a chance to start looking into this on my ubitx (I'm seeing the same issue). I managed to borrow a scope and putting it on the 5v supply seems to indicate that you're right. I see

Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
Thank you Allison for the clarification. I read the thread about the mixing problem and understand where the problem is. Maybe I will try to play around with bandpass filters, but this is no priority

Shipping issues
Not to beat a dead horse but are there any shipping issues. Last I read was that the backlog was gone. I placed my order last week and have yet to receive a notice that my ubitx has shipped. Thanks

Re: Finished building my uBitX!
When in use, those rectangles clear up nicely. It's a matter of viewing angle. The pictures were from too straight on to see the display clearly.

Re: RFI from uBitx TX after AGC and other mods installed
I agree. That would be an excellent fix, Pat. But it shouldn't be occurring. Alan, can you take voltage measurements of Q1? From ground to the base, and from ground to collector when transmitting? It

Re: RFI from uBitx TX after AGC and other mods installed
I went down that same path and ended up picking off receive-only 12v from R52 and putting that through a VR circuit to get 5v for the agc. This way, you still have cw sidetone during transmit. Just
