Test equipment recommendations
One suggestion: perhaps obvious given the others, perhaps not. Maybe you are near some sort of ham club, or at least within driving distance. While there may be a prohibition on swap meets, maybe you

Re: Value of the 45mhz filter?
Gerard Any decent 45 MHz crystal filter should work, it has 2 sections. Whether it is 15 or 30 kHz should not be a huge factor under most conditions,? of course narrower is better except for

Re: uBiTX #v6 - First steps after assembly #v6
Hi Reed, I tested the encoder with my multi-meter in continuity mode. When I rotated the encoder I could hear short beeps on the different for clockwise and anti-clockwise turn directions, same with

Re: #ubitxcw #ubitxv6 More signal out on 10 meters than other bands? #ubitxcw #ubitxv6
I would agree that the most likely candidate is the mic element.? I would look into another source to connect to the mic input.? Remember that the sleeve is connected to the PTT line, so you would

Evan, Yes, I think the receiver is functioning now. I followed the #1 PA BIAS section of the MBITX Tune-Up procedure on the hfsignals website. I was able to set the two bias adjustments to add 100 ma

Re: #ubitxcw #ubitxv6 More signal out on 10 meters than other bands? #ubitxcw #ubitxv6
So it seems you have the receiver working.? As stated in the other post from me, I would now do the bias adjustments of the PA.? That would also tell you if the finals are working., though not the

Dale, I am glad to hear that my expectations are reasonable in the neighborhood. Yes, WWV at 15 MHz show up at 15 MHz on the dial although it is pretty weak for me right now. Last night, I heard

Re: Anyone used the ELEKITSORPARTS digital interface board? Opionons? #ubitx #digital
So the only other connections come from the 8 pin audio on the uBitx board. I am a bit confused because I see other connections across audio components. Am I correct in thinking those are v3 or v4

Re: #ubitxcw #ubitxv6 More signal out on 10 meters than other bands? #ubitxcw #ubitxv6
Hi Stephen, I think you should be able to make that path. I hope he is using a horizontal antennas also. The ground wave penalty for being cross polarized can be as much as -20dB. Likely you have

Dale, Thanks for the suggestions. I am really getting frustrated with this thing. I hooked the unit to a fan dipole in the second story attic of this house (in a HOA-restricted subdivision) with both

Re: #ubitxcw #ubitxv6 More signal out on 10 meters than other bands? #ubitxcw #ubitxv6
HI Stephen, Anything other than both the SDR and the BitX connected by an appropriate attenuator or a directional coupler will yield frequency dependent results, and not real numbers. The correct

Re: Anyone used the ELEKITSORPARTS digital interface board? Opionons? #ubitx #digital
The 5v pad goes to the output pin of the 5v regulator on the arduino board, or your can do what I did and put a separate 5v regulator on the 5v and earth pads, bend the input pin back on itself and

Re: #ubitxcw #ubitxv6 More signal out on 10 meters than other bands? #ubitxcw #ubitxv6
Hi Stephen, What is the coupling mechanism between the SDR and the Bitx? If it is perhaps a short random wire for example, I would expect the SDR to read higher on 10M than a lower band as the
