Re: IRF510 sale
I've never tried going much beyond 12v on the uBitx. If I were to do it, I'd start with the qrp-labs 10W PA that I have built up. Power out should be proportional to the square of the supply voltage,

Re: IRF510 sale
I have 19V and on 40 meters, about 20 watts. Much less on the higher bands. The IRF510 is a poor choice for higher power and higher frequencies, it is slew rate limited.

Re: Ideas for "bulletproofing" the uBitx
Not to mention RF parts availability.? IRF510s can be found almost anywhere.? Anyone that has tried to source RF transistors I'm sure can appreciate this -especially those living in remote areas. 73

Re: Ideas for "bulletproofing" the uBitx
"Name brand commercial radio" does not describe the uBITX which is designed to be less expensive and more desirable by people in India and other countries, even here. This includes me and is the

Re: Ideas for "bulletproofing" the uBitx
That is a very neat and interesting idea. However, another commenter here stated that doing this could affect the higher (15/10M) output power for the V6 which is already challenged by lower power

Re: Ideas for "bulletproofing" the uBitx
Jerry -? This thread has been really helpful.? I haven't failed any 510's in the field yet, but.... When you mention a shorted antenna jack and heat-related failure, what kind of key-down times are

Mad, Thousands of stock uBit's are operating with no trouble at all. If the IRF510's die at all, It is almost certainly because of overheating. Perhaps when running some digital mode, inside an

Re: Broke off screw mounts from screen
If you measure the screws' length with a millimeter scale, you will find there are two sizes, a longer one and a slightly shorter one. Use the shorter one and it will work OK. Just because a screw

Re: Ideas for "bulletproofing" the uBitx
Don¡¯t understand the point. Why would you want to operate excellent RF transistors designed specifically for the 12-14V mobile world at a higher voltage? They make all of their power in that range.
