Re: uBitX V6 no transmit power #ubitxv6 #ubitx-help #tx
Jerry, Here are three screenshots from my scope: They are from TP2 of the ?BITX.? The one that is not the correct measured frequency is supposed to be 40meters.? The frequency for 40meters was set

Hi Evan, Yes. I see. I'll check output on SSB and will look out for your findings. Best, N

Re: New Question
Thanks everyone, sounds good to me. I will replace the regulator and add the dropping resistor both. Thanks, Mike

Re: A few very basic beginner questions
Got it, thank you again Evan. As it happens, I haven't tinkered much with CW yet, but I anticipate it in the future. Actually, despite having an Extra license, I have never so much as keyed a mic, not

Re: uBitX V6 no transmit power #ubitxv6 #ubitx-help #tx
Evan, I'm not 100% sure I understand what a "very high low harmonic" is. Operating a 7mhz, I assume these are 2'd and 3'rd harmonics, so 14 and 21 mhz. I'd expect that on pretty much all bands at TP1,

Re: uBitX V6 no transmit power #ubitxv6 #ubitx-help #tx
Jerry, I tried putting a 2.2kOhm resistor in parallel with R104 and got the same results.? Evidently, it is not the diode bias that is the issue. I did note that the waveform at TP1 and TP2 has very

Re: New Question
Skip, You correct in that there is still heat that needs to be dissipated.? The reason to go to the higher current rated device is that it can handle the higher current without generating as much

Re: A few very basic beginner questions
Gamaliel, Your statement is true IF you do not want to get serious with CW.? There are a couple of options that make the ?BITX operate more as most commercial rigs do on CW.? The most significant

Re: New Question
Mike replacing the regulator on the Radunio will not solve the heat problem. The regulator will source at least 1 amp to run everything that needs 5 Volts. The main problem is that if your supply

Re: New Question
Mike, I run a 2.8" display on a stock v5 with just an added heatsink to the regulator.? You could go the extra step and add a series resistor to drop the 12+ volts (I am running 13.8) to a lower

Re: uBitX V6 no transmit power #ubitxv6 #ubitx-help #tx
Nick, If you scroll back through some of the earlier posts on this thread you will see that I have a very similar issue with my v6 that I just assembled in the last two weeks.? It is not as drastic

Hi Evan, QRPGuys' Dummy Load/Power Meter kit arrived. Built and attached. Handy piece of kit for QRP power levels. Anyhow, essentially it confirms the reading I received with the borrowed meter ie 18V

Re: New Question
Yes, my V6 has a heat sink on the Raduino with the 7805. It still gets quite warm to the touch. So you think replacing the one on the Raduino would run both the V6 and the Nextion 5 inch display?

Gerard - I also used the appropriate drill bits to wind the air-core coils. 1.? I wound with 3 turns.? The picture I have is a bit fuzzy but it looks like 3TY as well. 2.? All 6 toroids appeared to

Justin, Thank you for all the information. I just received a labeler from Amazon. The labels that I bought for it have a clear background with white lettering. I have a black case so we¡¯ll see if it

Re: uBitX V6 no transmit power #ubitxv6 #ubitx-help #tx
Jerry, I did the tone tests on my ?BITX using an Elecraft 2T-gen with interesting results.? The max power output is now on 40meters, with 80 and 30 being just a little reduced.? This does point to
