Re: BITX20 Duh-oo
Bill, I completely disagree. Whatever signal is present at the antenna jack is what the meter shows. Raj

HELLO TO ALL ! First of all, we all went a bit off topic! The question was about how to somehow govern the BF level without becoming deaf to any strong signal interfering in the QSO! The origin was a

If you buy a bunch, one AD8307 is under $0.50 https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=20pcs+ad8307&_sacat=0 Not clear if those are factory seconds, clones, or got

Re: BITX20 Duh-oo
Hi Raj, S9 = 50 uV across 50 ohms. In the wild we rarely (if ever) have 50 Ohms at the antenna terminals. So there goes the baby along with the bath water. I do not know how to have a QSO a while the

Hi Bob, It's back to that volume control again. Earbuds allow me to run at a much lower volume. A strict interpretation of what you said about damage from using earbuds means that earbuds would damage

Re: A strange thing about calibration!!
hello bob, thank you for your answer, but this does not solve my problem and I do not have an explanation on these 2 parameters in the ubitx manager.

Dean: You're absolutely correct about the work done by Pete. Stick him in a jungle with a penknife and some matches and he'd come out a month later with a 1KW xcvr...he does amazing stuff. Also, if

Re: A strange thing about calibration!!
I was not talking about "calibrating" the V6, I call that something else. I was talking about "calibration" of the S-Meter/VU Meter at one point (volume level) and not assuming that it it correct for

Hi Loris - Let's see - one AD8307 from DigiKey is $14 - my handful of parts is about $3 - so if you want to save "a lot of money" use my design :)!? ? In fact the entire? Furlough-40 can be built

Re: A strange thing about calibration!!
Curt, I don¡¯t think you understood what I meant. Calibration is one thing, setting the BFO is another. what I mean, when you do. calibration, you look for the zero beat.Then you validate and have to

Re: BITX20 Duh-oo
On S meter readings on 80's rigs: I would generalize from my years of fixing and aligning rigs that S9 = 50uV at the antenna. S8 = -6db of 50uV and S7 = -12db of 50 uV... below S7 the readings are

Bill, first of all, earbuds are a no-no. They damage the ears. Any device that is so perfect a seal to outside sounds damages the ears. First to go are the high frequencies thus the need for "old"

Re: BITX20 Duh-oo
Hi Bob, The 'S' value in the RST does have some value but an estimate is good enough (and really all we can do). It is hard enough to pin down a number in a well equipped lab. A radio operating 'in

Hi Dean all beautiful and interesting but, if your purpose is also partially commercial, you could save a lot of money on the circuit by using only one chip (eg AD8307 or NE604) taking the RF signal
