Re: uBitX assembled: bit of a challenge with alignment/bfo adj - Volume/switch knob fix
I suppose I should address the cal stuff too. The main oscillator cal calibrates the frequency generator, which determines how correct all three of the clock outputs from the chip are. The BFO cal

Re: uBitX assembled: bit of a challenge with alignment/bfo adj - Volume/switch knob fix
Hi Dan, If you're using the stock software, you should be able to press and hold (for a LONG time, like 10s) the button after powering the radio on, and it will go to a config menu. You can then

Hello. Got my full kit (board v6.2 / firmware v6.1) the other day and assembled it this morning.Easy as pie. I managed to puzzle out (I think) how to get into alignment: hold tuning knob in while

Thanks! That¡¯s a great price! Hows the ripple on that one Stephen? Right now I have a small 12volt storage battery hook up. Good pure DC. I charge it with a small 110 car charger. Jeff

Jeff, In case you need a power supply, I found a 5 watt, 12 VDC one (#PS-12005) at All Electronics for$10.95. It sure beats the nine D cells that I had lined up in a piece of PVC pipe! Stephen

Highlighting band selected
Anyone know if there is a software mod to highlight the band currently selected? It is poor user operability if touching a button shows no action on that button. Jeff -- *jeff.debes@...*

Re: uBitX V6 only transmits double sideband
Thank you Reed. That is helpful. This seems like a pitfall that should have been documented or warned against if the rig is improperly adjusted. On if I listed to WWV on USB and LSB: No, I did mean

Re: uBitX V6 only transmits double sideband
Hi Jeff, Are you saying that you can hear a SSB transmission using either side band mode? WWV is an AM signal, so it would make sense that you would be able to hear it on both side bands. I know that
