Re: BITX VXOs
Ola Miguel,
I like to see some picts of your super VXO's Miguel. Great coverage with only 3 xtals. Is the output stable over the whole range? Do you use one or more (switchable) coils in series with

BITX VXOs
Hello
I build 3 VXOs called "hipervxos" for 40m, 20, and 10m to use with BITX,
They use a classic Colpits oscilattor with 3 parallel xtals and a
series inductor (special) and a series variable

Re: Good Job guys!
Guys
I am planning a Huff Puff VFO kit for my 2-chip minimalist VFO see

sure that this would be suitable for use with BITX

Re: Good Job guys!
Tnx for your reply dear Mike,
I did the measurement with a Philips low-budget "world" receiver
(with BFO :-) )
connected to a Celeron 266 MHz PC using MixW2.10 and I suspect this

Impressive Ron, Not a criticism, but I note some products of the VFO
some distance from the carrier in the unlocked pic which are not
noticable when the HuffPuff is operative due to the other

Dear Troy,
Would like to inform you that I included the Huff&Puff circuit into
my BITX17 (converted BITX20 for 18.068...18.168 MHz). In my Photobox
(PA2RF) you can see 2 pictures of the VFO

Re: re. TR Switching for the BITX
I have tried this method and it works well with my non-BITX 5w CW
transmitter. My receiver has an RF preamp and a post mixer
amplifier. I found that if I grounded both transistor bases during

H&P stabilisation would hold your frequency to within a Hz or two for
the long term, thus minimizing even a slow drift after warm up. Hans
has come up with several minimalist stabilizer designs

Re: Good Job guys!
Thanks Arv,
I've had the AFU callsign for about ten years and you're the first
person to comment on it. I thought it was funny when it was first
assigned to me but nobody seemed to share my sense

Re: Good Job guys!

The BITX has also been used for CW. Several builders have added a center-of-the-filter
BFO oscillator that serves both send and receive CW functions. I took the simple way and
just added a

I just wanted to say what a fine group I think this is. I have not

Re: Another slight modification to the BITX17 PA
Hi Ray,
Yes, you are right. Just QRP should have been sufficient. In fact 2 Watts represents a lot of electromagnetic RF energy.
And if propagation conditions do not let you down a lot can be

Re: Another slight modification to the BITX17 PA
Hi Ron,
QRPPPP = 5mW in my book! Every additional "P"= 1/10 power level..
I worked USA and a lot of EU with 1mW + small beam.. so you are running QRO!!!

Another slight modification to the BITX17 PA
Dear BITX homebrew-heroes!,
I combined the ideas of Ruud and Alf and, to my surprise, the IRF510
is not self-oscillating anymore (at all DC bias settings) !!
I did following (20 min work):

Re: Small mistake
The imput impedance of the IRF510 is very low. Therefore I made the
coil trifilar resulting in a lower impedance then originally. This
gives more output but seems also give a better stability?
