Re: Simple spur fix
Has anyone tried remounting the toroids at right angles to each other. That is what I all ways do and have read no shielding is required. Could be replacing the toroids with SM devices lowers the Q so

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
I have noticed different capacitance datasheet 'specs' for the AXICOM White D2n and the Black D2n*, although the same part number. The RF characteristics are the same. Capacitance

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Giles I'm not sure yet that the relays are the source of the problem. They are probably contributors, but there may be other culprits as well. I noted your earlier suggestion that we might try

Re: Simple spur fix
Has anyone tried mounting the original inductions from the bottom of the board? Maybe laying flat if possible? Better shielding? Thanks. Nick VK4PP

Re: Simple spur fix
Gary, Thank you for pointing that out to me. I see that now. 73s Ripley The words are mine but this iPad does what it will with them.

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Gilles, the only naive questions are the ones not asked .....or something like that ;o) Arv, we (AQRP Wed lunch guys) were speculating that the Constant K filter design used on the uBITX was suspect

Re: Simple spur fix
Ripley, stay mindful of the audio signal path through the K3 relay that also switches antenna for RX, TX. This is a common reported / resolved audio problem. Implemented in conjunction with the 'pop'

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Hello Kees, Arv I am attentive to your discussions on relays. I am not a professional technician so I will definitely ask a silly question. But too bad I start. Could the relays be replaced by other

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement / Spurs.. ect.., an offer/request to other VKs
Nick, no replies posted so here goes... I don't have a "GOOD SA" but I have a good receiver and I would be keen to work on this with you. In particular if you get some boards made I would be happy to

Re: Front Panel for Nov, 2018 QST Dummy Load
It looks good, but I'm hoping that Al will find the print file in the next day or two. Let's wait until then to see if it shows up. Jack, W8TEE

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Kees Some possible areas to look into: - Are there resonances in the relay activation path when (activated, or inactive)? Thinking about permeability change in relay coils when current is flowing? -

Re: Front Panel for Nov, 2018 QST Dummy Load
I think I am pretty close.? I do not have the OLED or enclosure to test so I would not be comfortable posting the file to the group not knowing if this even works.? Do you have access to a

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
You may have seen all the discussion on using AXICOM relays. Until that is flattened and I understand the "why" I am refunding your money for the K5BCQ LPF board kits which were ordered as I continue

Re: Simple spur fix
The ¡° I can hear myself in the speaker when I transmit¡± problem has nothing to do with 45 mhz crystal filter board that I installed for spurious signal suppression on the higher bands. I confirmed

Re: Front Panel for Nov, 2018 QST Dummy Load
Metrics are for smart people. Note that the vertical separator is tangent to the OLED recess, which makes it perfect for wedging a 9V battery between the case and the separator. See below: Jack, W8TEE

Re: stl for dlwattmeter
A few years back I did a dummy load in much the same fashion Jack did, but using ten pieces, 510 ohm, 2 W resistors. Used flat copper flashing strips instead of wired to mount the resistors. Intended

Re: Something not right 24V PA BITX40
Appreciate the input. Similar output from the computer audio output compared to my microphone. Most of my contacts have been with FT8. Keep looking at it and can't figure out why 20V and 24v outputs

Re: Front Panel for Nov, 2018 QST Dummy Load
Jack, I haven't built your dummy load but figured I would take a shot at recreating the panel to help out those that need it. A few more dimensions would be very helpful. * thickness of panel *
