Re: Sbitx manual
Hi Ashhar, Any update on when the product will be released ? It didn't go live at the weekend so I guess you are sorting out a few more software issues ? Best regards, Peter.

Re: Sbitx manual
Will, The critical part is that sbitx is entirely open source. If you happen to have a raspberry pi with you, you can order a wm8731 card for 20 dollars and solder rest of it from ordinary transistors

Re: Sbitx manual
Wow! I've been away from this group for a while and just saw this -- great job Ashhar! $500 is understandable in today's tough climate, but maybe things will cool off and there will be a price cut in

Ashok, It should not matter if you truly get it to zero beats.? One way to tell is to save the calibration value and then go back and set the radio for the calibration frequency and see if there is a

Re: uBTIX no signal or reception
I have now installed KD8CEC sw in the original Nano, and read out the data using ¡±MM¡±, and backed up that file. I now have reception, not as great as a websdr (that i found) but i should test with

Hi Evan, Thanks for jumping in. Ok I will calibrate using the TCXO, but I have one question. During calibration, which side-band mode should I use, USB or LSB? In the video Farhan used LSB, but in

Ashok, Does it transmit 1) SSB and 2: CW do both tests. When you test with 7.023 MHz tune plus or minus 1 Mhz or more and see any carrier. If so it may show up something. Resolder all mixer diodes

Thanks Raj, Yes I also thought later that frequency looks like OK, except i think there is a typo on the uBItx block diagram on HFsignal page. Now that the RADUINO is generating correct frequency,

Ashok, Looks OK, clock 2 for 3-30 Mhz = 45Mhz +3 or 30 = 48 to 75 MHz I havent dabbled with these numbers before, but I should think you should get 56.05 or near about not 57 MHz i.e 45 + 1.0556

Hi Farhan, As there is no strong AM station in Kolkata, I cannot attempt the calibration procedure. I have a 20 MHZ TCXO +-2.5ppm. Can I use that to do the calibration ? If yes, what sideband mode

I measured the frequency in 3 clock output. Results below, the accuracy of measurement may be off by a few KHZ? due to low quality counter. There are 4 sets of measurement. SET1 (A=3000 KHZ LSB)
