Re: Linear Amplifier Build
Hi Jerry, Which transistors are in the finals of this kit you bought? I'm using a BLF9120 based kit I bought on aliexpress, it works pretty well, but up to 100W at most. Rafael PU2UIT

Better heat sinking
I was never overly confident of the two small heat sinks supplied for the IRF 510's. I had made a modification to get rid of the heat on the 5 volt regulator and also steady the vertical board which

Re: Linear Amplifier Build
High power amplifiers seems to be the antithesis of where we are going on a mostly QRP based discussion group. Some may disagree, and they are entitled to do so, but please respect the fact that this

Re: Linear Amplifier Build
After looking around the web some at anything "amateur linear amplifier", seems to be mostly CB'ers speaking a mostly different language. They seem obsessed with how many "pills" (output transistors)

Indeed. *** It's a 6BTV vertical perched on the side of a hill. I'm pretty sure the hill is the problem. I used to get excellent reports from the south Pacific. There's a 300-foot coax run from the

Re: Many uBitx's have reduced power on 40m CW
700 and 1900 hertz were injected into the mic jack.? I had adjusted the level for the maximum power without causing an increase in the IMD3 measurement. I measured the expected 2xfa +/- fb.? 4

Re: Linear Amplifier Build
Jerry, KF6VB, There might well be better forums to complain that 100W is not enough.? ;-) I'd take another look at that antenna. Should be a bunch more sunspots coming along soon. Let me know when

Re: SI labs generator chip which has an FM input pin
Why not use phase modulation instead pure FM? The receiver doesn't know the difference and a simple phase modulator stage could be fitted after the clock output, I recall using a germanium transistor

Linear Amplifier Build
All, I know this isn't the right forum for this - anybody know of a forum for people building linear amps? Last night, I had my first contact in some years. A pleasant gentleman in Calgary.

Re: Many uBitx's have reduced power on 40m CW
Evan, That all looks good, thanks for doing such a thorough analysis! IMD could vary wildly depending on mike gain, and RV1 setting. Also, various builds may have significantly different gains due to

Re: uSDX
The smart, handsome, modest author of that BOM would like to point out that it is for V1.02, not V1.01, so not ideal for Justin. There is a V1.01 BOM here /g/ucx/files/uSDX.xlsx And,
