Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
Nick, The Spec Ft is the same for both 2N2222A and 2N3904 .....300 MHz, but the Ic max for the 2N2222A is more than twice that of the 2N3904. Someone (Allison ?) had mentioned the 2N3904s were really

Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
$0.0358 each is not bad. Let us know how this goes. Moving to a BS170 would take significant changes to the circuit. A 2n5109 or 2n3866 is going to cost more than $0.0358 I'd probably build a really

Re: bitx40 on 80
Hi Henning, No, for 80m it works just the same way as for 40m. For LSB we use low side injection, for USB we use the high side. on 40m (e.g. 7MHz): in LSB mode: fLO = 12 - 7 = 5 MHz (= "low side") in

Jerry Since the FT is what we need to know for transistor swaps, it might be possible to make an oscillator circuit that tunes across the predicted FT value. Point where the oscillator stops or will

2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
I think enough work has been done to say the 3 sets of 2N3904 transistors should be replaced with 3 sets of 2N2222A transistors. The 2N2222A is a great transistor but has been around a while and most

Re: bitx40 on 80
Allard, in addition the "high side" injection must be used and chosen, because fin = fLO - Fif; e.g. fin = 3.5 MHz Fif = 12 MHz then fLO = 15.5 MHz. The "low side injection" as used in the BITX40 does
