uBitx v.3 finals - negative feedback
Hello everybody. I have a version 3 of the uBitx. Is the negative feedback in the finals necessary or at least useful for the stability of the push-pull amplifier? I have seen the 26db 10w amplifier

Hi Jerry, I just realized the manual wasn't linked in the readme.md in the code, so I've added that link now (thanks for the nudge, Jim S). For your reference:

Re: Rf it's "freezing" the Ubitx ???
Andrea, I too have had that problem and RF was getting into my UBITX from the key paddle. I used some small diameter coax and a snap on ferrite to solve my issue. Good luck Barry K3bo

Re: Linear Amplifier Build
Indeed. That's why I always stuck with grounded grid for my tube amps. Much more stable. When I first ordered the uBITX ( impatiently waiting... ) I thought of doing a single-sweep-tube amp for it, or

Re: Linear Amplifier Build
do aim for stability and cleanness over raw power - and keep in mind this simple math: each time you increase power 4X this is 6 dB, and roughly it is one S-unit.? if we start with 10 watts, 40 watts

Jerry, KF6VB, Ooooh, an excellent opportunity for the QRP operator. Stuff a slingshot, a motorcycle battery, some magnet wire, and that new uBitx into a daypack, head on up that hill. That sort of

Hi Jerry, There's no compile-time requirements to use the favorites. To set a favorite, tune to the frequency you want to save, then short press the star icon, and finally long press the desired

Short and long press works as for me.? Works with a press of the favorite on the screen button, or the encoder wheel function button. There are only 4 favorites. Rgds, Gary

Re: Linear Amplifier Build
They should be easy having a gain of 20db on HF I get that much on 2m from a pair of them.Careful though, with the gain they have you can easy get into feedback situations if you are not careful with

I *** I apologize for that. Basically, I was excited to be doing ham radio for the first time in many years, and this was the group I was connected to. I'll try to keep the power down :). - Jerry

I assembled a v.6 last night, and installed Reed's firmware. Playing around with it, I cannot make sense out of the favorite frequency function. Do the favorites need to be defined in a sketch prior

MRF300AN and MRF300BN. They are said to have an in-circuit gain of 20dB. If that's true, then 6W in - gets you 600W out. - Jerry KF6VB

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
