Re: Tracing receive signal for low signal
Evan, indeed bfo adjustment is a factor, my recent v4 was way off. Maybe this could he in play here. Dave, good work using your diagnostic equipment. I would first he suspicious that the automated

Re: Tracing receive signal for low signal
Why I went down this route is due to low signal can barely hear anyone.? So I figured I'd try some tracing.. My understanding is 50uv (volts) should provide an s9 signal.? My signal generator lowest

Re: Ubitx - carbon mic
Ok for the earpiece. If I find one I will tinker with it. I agree that the ubitx sounds ok (a part from tx IMD figures not excessively good) with the condenser type and unlikely it will sound better

Re: Tracing receive signal for low signal
OK, I reread your post.? ?I do see that you are before the first mixer testing on the low pass filter (c200-204).? I would assume that it would not be linear at all.? even though you are getting

Re: Tracing receive signal for low signal
Better thinking is that the carrier-balanced 1-KHz signal is heard farther back toward the audio section, after the BFO has done its work. Bob ¡ª KK5R --------------------------------------------

Re: Tracing receive signal for low signal
I also thought that injecting an AM signal is like listening to an AM broadcasting signal where you have to zero-beat the carrier and listen to the modulation. A 'scope would be better to see the

Re: Tracing receive signal for low signal
My first thought is that it may be some kind of bandpass filter that is not on-frequency. However, very often the obvious is not the problem in such cases. Signal injection and tracing is the way to

Re: Tracing receive signal for low signal
If I am interperting what you are doing correctly, you have an AM signal at 7.15 Mhz with 1 k hz modulation.? You are injecting it starting at the antenna and progressing towards the audio section.?

Tracing receive signal for low signal
Let me start with I'm a noob at diagnostics. Since my signal is really low I started to do some tracing. One thing I noticed is odd if I inject a signal further away from the antenna source it gets

Re: Ubitx - carbon mic
