Re: Look at this on eBay, ubitx, budget test equipment.
I use an innova 3320 dvm; it showed up in an issue in QST some months back. Its good for what it does. 73, Kelly K5AID

Re: Look at this on eBay, ubitx, budget test equipment.
Did you use 1 watt resistors or higher? I am assuming qrp levels similar to our ubitx, of course.. 73, Kelly K5AID

Re: Look at this on eBay, ubitx, budget test equipment.
I am with Robert, a decent dvm is the first cab off the rank.? I sold my oscilloscope on ebay as I found that while useful when needed, it wasn't needed very often and a digital one could do the job.

Re: Needed a break, so thought I would make AD7C's VFO
I attribute it to my assumptions, obviously. I was shocked myself after all the positive remarks, etc. I am glad it works as I was wanting to experiment with it, like make a receiver for my dad, who

Re: Needed a break, so thought I would make AD7C's VFO
That's interesting, i have based 5 different VFO's off of the schematic Rich provided on his Blog and all of them worked perfect. I have a DSB radio I designed around this VFO and use it all the time.

Re: Look at this on eBay, ubitx, budget test equipment.
10dB sounds a little more reasonable for measuring RF. I made up a batch of PI network attenuators for 3, 6, 10, and 12dB.

Re: Look at this on eBay, ubitx, budget test equipment.
Richard, thanks for reminding me abiut the attenuator. You sure thats enough? I was figuring 10dB. According to the Resistor tables for a Pi it seems easier. Just my own opinion... 73, Kelly K5AID

Needed a break, so thought I would make AD7C's VFO
Thought I needed a break so I thought I would make an AD7 C vfo since I already had an AD 9850. Well shame on me for trusting a schematic.? I seriously built this twice, on perfboard and ... after i

Thanks, everyone - based on Curt's comment, there may be nothing to adjust - I'm just not picking anyone up / trees in the way / bad weather / bad timing whatever. I base this on the fact that AM

It's very tough, to protect a radio installation from a direct lightning strike But it's well worth protecting your gear from high voltage electric fields. Just the wind blowing on an antenna wire can

Are you sure that's not just local AM stations? My uBitx was completely unusable at first - all bands, all frequencies, all i heard was the 50KW KOA "blowtorch". More sane AM signals will definitely

Ok, back to it finally - tiny bit of new input: Was able to tune in a local AM station - sounds decent - tuned BFO with that, for better or for worse, but in the end, it was already ALMOST ok, and now
