Re: Tiny SWR Bridge
I wanted simple, small and easy to build. Only needs to drive A-D input, so no buffering required and linearization can be done in software if desired. I'm only interested in 30 mHz and 10W QRP max,

Put decent RF devices in uBitx and then we compare for sure...

Hey, I'm just curious how all the other portable radio compare....
Are they :"clean"? Specs can be that "special" radio, just for testing.
Your mileage may vary,

So, for the time it takes the hardware to figure out what frequency you are at you maybe out of compliance until the filter switches?

Re: Needed - relay voltage versus frequency for each of the band-pass filter relay drivers

Switching audio in K3 was inviting pain.? I'd advise cutting traces to m1/m2 and and bridging them

Joe,
I suspected its a Brune bridge.? Most of the other forms tend to be larger.
All the ones I've built C3 has to be variable or hand picked as its hard to
predict due to parasitic circuit

Is this bitx-40 or bitx20 or uBitx? as they are not the same?
Since it happens with the loop I'd suspect its the radio.? I say that?

FYI, I posted the LTSpice schematic, so you can analyze if you wish.If there's interest, I can post the whole LTSpice package if anyone requests it.

Re: PA goes mad on some antennas

That’s probably radio frequency interference. With a slightly Squirrley antenna, you may have RF pick up in microphone cables etc., leading to all kinds of weird behavior. it will look like the

Hello!
Finally I made a few first contacts with my uBitx. Mostly I used the antennas at my local ham radio club, which has dipoles for 80m and 40m and a beam antenna for all the upper bands. At these

Re: Needed - relay voltage versus frequency for each of the band-pass filter relay drivers

If your rig still has the M1 and M2 audio cutoff connections to relay K3, then what you are hearing in your audio is not a transmitter issue, but an RF overload condition from the TX output back into
