Re: Simple spur fix
Allsison 9 x 50 = 450 12 x 50 = 600 12(impedance ratio)^0.5 = 3.5(turns ratio) 3.5 x 2 = 7 for integer turns 7 turn primary + 2 turn secondary = 9 turns total. 9 turns is compatible with BN-2402 cores

Re: uBitx Antenna
#ubitx-help
Output of the uBITX is 50 ohms. Your CB SWR meter should work for the upper end of HF range (20M through 10M) and maybe acceptably good for 80M through 10M. Many of those old CB SWR meters were just

Re: Simple spur fix
Paralleling filters is not a safe thing to do.? Many too many unpredictable things happen. Also the filter impedance is around 500-650 ohms.?? A 9:1 impedance transformer would get you close and

Arv, Its not DC resistance its RF resistance and RF inductance.? Flat conductors are? better for the latter and need to be wider for the former.? That is the wires with RF. The grounds are to the

Re: More PA Putzing ..
Allison can the "wimpy ground paths" part be helped by overlaying fairly heavy wires in parallel with existing wimpy grounds? Arv _._

Re: More PA Putzing ..
Jim, Yes the big thing is developing a voltage across the capacitive gate, takes power to do that. Also the impedance of the source (driver) has to be low at low HF as at 3mhz the gate looks like

Lcd nextion generating qrm
The nextion 2.8 "display is generating qrm, when I adjust the brightness control to less than 100 I have qrm at the reception, if it is 100 without problems. I installed a 5 ohm resistor in series

Re: Simple spur fix
John It is 7:2 or a 3.5:1 ratio. The impedance ration is the square of the turns ratio. I honestly don't know the answer to your question about paralleling filters. I guess you could try it..... but

Re: Simple spur fix
I don't think paralleling the filters will impact the nominal input impedance of each filter. If you have a SA and have something to generate a 45Mhz signal you could sweep the filters in parallel and

Re: Simple spur fix
Warren, Is that a 3.5:1 winding ratio or 3:5? Also to my previous question- does a 1200 ohm impedance filter become 600 ohm if you parallel two of them? I realize it narrows the BW but I've never seen
