Re: Bitx40 Power Supply - stackeing 4 2032 Lithium coin batterieis?
Unfortunately, that battery is only rated for?235 mAh.? On a BITX40, it would have a short, but happy, life.

Bill, Thanks for the tip! I've checked out www.websdr.org ( http://www.websdr.org ) but it never occurred to me to use it in that manner. I may have to try that. ? 73, ? Jared KN4IYL

Re: Raduino help?
Woody, I have issues with microphonics too, but with my ubitx on a decent antenna they get drowned out from other background (band) noise. I only notice them if I am on a dummy load or have the

Mike, Interesting link but as you suggested, the most likely would be RF intrusion. Was transmitting (into dummy load) when failed. Still wonder why, since it was the "nth" time the xmit was on. Wire

Re: Possibly the last person to get a uBitx on the air.
Have your tried KD8CEC firmware??? It should fix keying issues ... it has for most, although some have gone to using a fixed digital pin.?? Lots of ways of fixing that problem. However, the KD8CEC

I got my uBitx going today and already made some contacts. I had to rewire the socket for the keyer but other than that all worked OK out of the chute.? It's presently using the v0.20 code Things

Re: Bitx40 Power Supply - stackeing 4 2032 Lithium coin batterieis?
The CR2032 is designed for applications with very low current draw. It's spec show standard discharge rate is 0.2mA. So you would need to parallel many cells to get the power you need.

Addendum to the above: It's not so much a squeal, more like a noise you'd hear on Space Invaders or Galaga or something. Sorry for the non-technical explanation, but I don't know what else to call it.
