Re: Sbitx finals replacement
Farhan No progress today. I guess I will wait for the upgrade kit. I have built and fixed several Ubitx rigs but this issue has me stumped. Anyway once it get it going again I will enjoy this one as

Re: #sbitx sn 0071 is alive! #sBitx
Steve, You might want to telnet to port 7000 of the rpi while sbitx is running. This an easter egg yet, I am not sure if I should produce a telnet remote or a web/http based remote facility. It only

Re: #sbitx mod #sBitx
To track down the hum and spurs, I had a trick. I use a spectrum analyzer with its input connected to the DC power line through a 0.1uf capacitor. The important thing is that the RF cable between the

Re: #sbitx mod #sBitx
Scott, I think you're probably good to go at this point. Extra bypass filtering on the output never hurts. In the olden days of HAM radio, 60/50Hz hum was the big problem with power HV power supplies.

Re: DAYLIGHT RADIO - PLASTIC TOROID MASTER
David, I did a bit of experimental work on this. The toroids need more than 15 turns or so for the self-shielding to work well. At fewer turns, the shielding though better than that of a conventional

Re: #sbitx mod #sBitx
If that RV had a solar panel on top, that could also be the source of the noise. Solar charge controllers are kinda like a variable switching power supply. Mine? causes interference all the way to 60

Farhan; You have created an amazing radio. I love that the radio has the ability to recompile it's own software. I love that the code is open-source, so that changes can easily be made to add

Re: #sbitx mod #sBitx
Hi Jerry, Ok, I see.? That makes sense.? It looks like there is very little real energy in the above 200kHz range (if any).? The only other thing I have tried was a cap on the output.? The larger

Re: #sbitx mod #sBitx
Scott, The reduction in capacitance was because you really only need to filter out the 350kHz signal. Did you try a filter on the output side of the buck converter? Are you seeing any harmonics in HF

Re: #sbitx mod #sBitx
please remember that there are ham bands at 136khz, 472-479 khz, and commercial marine cw at 420khz and 500khz. a switcher drifting its spurs around might well make the radio unusable down there. the

Re: Funtronics uBitx digi interface installation in V6
David: I've never run into such a person, but clearly he does not want to learn CW, so he's never going to use ALP as a learning tool. He's using it as a crutch, and that's not the position I'm taking

Re: #sbitx mod #sBitx
Hi Jerry, Right.? The choke is in series with the converter module input.? The cap is after the choke connected input to ground of the converter.? I made the swap to 10uF but I don't see a

Re: Funtronics uBitx digi interface installation in V6
Jack, still love all your work you and Al have done to further the hobby. I guess im just very opinionated on some topics.Sorry. anyway will be looking for your stuff to come out at 4sqrp. 73 David

Re: Funtronics uBitx digi interface installation in V6
The 4SQRP people have the Beta boards from China and are starting to test them. I don't have a firm date, but it looks like late Sept, early Oct to me, but that's just a guess. Jack, W8TEE

Re: Funtronics uBitx digi interface installation in V6
