Re: uBITX V6 Specifications.
Robert, I have not seen my v6 go over 2.5amps on CW transmit.? I have not checked with digital modes.? 3amp power supply or better would be my recommendation. 73 Evan AC9TU

Re: technical question about filter capacitors
A nanovna for $40?can measure the impedance of a cap over a range of frequencies from 50khz to 1ghz. At some point the cap is self-resonant, and beyond that a cap starts looking like an inductor due

Re: Split power for PA on uBITX v6
While I understand the rationale for the V6 board design, ease of assembly, the board design negates one of the best points of the BITX radios, the ability to easily try new things.? I REALLY wish

Re: technical question about filter capacitors
How small is really small? That Nano clone trick works with caps between 1pF and 1000uF. /g/BITX20/message/52471 Way better than the capacitance meter in my $20 DVM. Jerry, KE7ER

Re: uBITX V6 Specifications.
Hi All, What's the transmit current? What do you think about 2.5ah? What do you think the minimum power supply should be 3a, 4a? 73, . Robert, AG6LK

Re: technical question about filter capacitors
To measure really small caps, I've used a resonant circuit. You make up a coil of appropriate value and put it in series or parallel with the cap in question. Then hook a scope and an oscillator. If

I watched that 18 minute video so you don't have to. Here's my review:? ?? He has a lab full of really nice gear. His technique is to drive a 1v square wave from a 50 ohm source into the cap,

Re: technical question about filter capacitors
Thank you Jerry for your response. The basic question was what type of capacitors were on the filters at the output of the UBITX power amplifier. The answer is clear, and given by the creator, it is
