Re: S-Meter on Nextion Display
Hi, Richard. The S-meter in the CEC NX_S software will work fine though some have added a simple audio amp (LM386, etc) between a tap from the yellow (vol pot "high") wire on the audio header to Pin 7

Re: uBITX V6 heat sink temperature
My V6 at the power plug is seeing 350ma. This is more than double my V5 with the standard display. It would be nice to be able to turn off the display to save on current draw. It makes the new V6 not

Re: S-Meter on Nextion Display
Evan is correct. You can get a nice S-meter working in the base CEC sketch by adding a small amplifier (Ian has a circuit and descriptions on his site) and feeding the aux input. I did that, it works

Re: Alternatives to Baofeng mic?
In my opinion all SSB transceivers benefit from audio conpressors, except for those for which the speech is already very punchy, like the excellent MFJ monobands. A compressor increases the average

BFO
For the ubitx 5 (not the earlier versions), you will want to set the BFO somewhere around 11.055-11.056 MHz as a starting point. How do you get to 11.055 without turning the encoder a million times? I

Re: Alternatives to Baofeng mic?
The Baofeng was introduced based upon its availability.? I perceive nothing special other than that. As the uBITX was intended for amateurs who may lack the means to purchase commercial equipment - a

Re: S-Meter on Nextion Display
Please verify, but I believe that the _S option is for the "Stand alone" meter function.? This uses a second Nano to do the metering as well as other functions.? An S meter using the spare analog

Re: uBITX V6 heat sink temperature
I believe Joel is talking about the LM7805 regulator on the Raduino. The LM7805 is spec'd to continue working at temps as high as 150 C. I have no idea how hot it should get on a v6 with the new

Re: Alternatives to Baofeng mic?
Is the Baofeng mic giving you bad audio, or would you just prefer a mic that is perceived to be of higher quality? A microphone is a very simple device, and very basic mics can provide excellent audio

S-Meter on Nextion Display
Hi, have decided to forge ahead with a v5 and Nextion 3.2 Enhanced, using KD8CEC's software. I have watched the videos several times, I understand about loading the CEC firmware for v5 using Xloader,

Alternatives to Baofeng mic?
I'm new to the uBITX scene (had a V1 way back) and was wondering what other mics others are using for improved audio over the Baofeng? Or audio mods that improve the tx audio? Tnx/73, -- John AE5X

Re: uBITX V6 heat sink temperature
Wow, when I have my SB-200 just turned on, it heats the room. When I in a long QSO, I have to open the window! Warm finals are just a fact of life.If you are running Class B, your duty cycle is 50%,

Re: How-to Request
Yes. You are correct. Calibration values are stored in EEPROM. Updating HFsignals firmware will not change these settings. Ian's firmware also uses the same calibration addresses (although he has

Re: How-to Request
Ken, I would recommend buying an inexpensive Nano 'clone' like the one used in the uBITX (you can get them for < USD $4 with shipping included on eBAY from US 'stock')? Buy one without pins soldered.

Re: DC Connector #v6
On v6, it's a series diode included on the PC board, which should be quite safe. Downside is that you lose a diode drop worth from your power supply. Older versions of the uBitx recommended placing a
