Re: My new V6 and what I learned from this group
K3RTA and the Group, DE K5FJR, My antenna is a 'Super Antenna" clamped to the railing of my balcony.? Two radials run out and down INSIDE two gutter drains!? It is not invisible but is not too

Re: #v6 need a 12v connectiion #v6
These points have 12V on them when in transmit mode, according to the schematic for a V4 (and should be the same for later designs): R89, side opposite of C86 U2 Pin 3 (near the 3-pin power connector.

Re: v6 nextion/arduino replacement
Mornin' Evan: The Teensy in combo with its audio board is a great platform for doing DSP. We used the 3.6 in the JackAl add-on and we do a number of DSP things with it. (You can download the manual

Re: v6 nextion/arduino replacement
Dave does have a valid point on the future of the CEC software having a large group adding new features.? Currently though in my opinion, the CEC solution has the most features available today.?

Re: v6 nextion/arduino replacement
Have to ask your self why? The 2.8" nextion is really too small to touch the buttons with the fingers. Have 3 units with Nextion displays 2.8, 3.2, 3.5. The 3.5 is the only one that I? can reliably

Re: uBitx v.4 build information
Vic Thanks for posting your mods, I will review and learn some more. No 0.1 uF sounds way to large to add to c81. If a rig has a severe dip at 40m, like only 2 or 3 watts, adding something like 100 to

Re: My new V6 and what I learned from this group
Hi Ted, I have used incandescent bulbs as dummy loads too. I did that a lot with vacuum tube finals but it works for solid state too. Not only is it *not* a 50 ohm resistive load but the impedance

Re: My new V6 and what I learned from this group
Oh, and for a dummy load in a pinch [at these power levels], get an 1157 tail light bulb and solder both filaments (pin) & shell (earth) to a male BNC or whatever you're using. I wouldn't keep it

Re: My new V6 and what I learned from this group
K5FJR de K3RTA, This static of which you speak, is it there mainly when you're transmitting, or at any time? I ask, because it smacks of RF infiltration (or "leakage). Your other rigs may not have

Re: v6 lock up (one way of spelling it!!)
Dave, my V6 was doing exactly what your is when I first put power to it.? Then I found out I had the encoder connected to the board and not to the arduino.? You may have checked that but it was not

Re: v6 nextion/arduino replacement
The short answer is yes.? Here is a link to someone who has done that.? The only issue was alignment of the Nextion screen holes, and he was able to work around by enlarging some of the holes.? He

Re: TX relay problem
Dr. M T Thomas, What you describe is a common problem with the uBiTx line of transceivers.? It is most often caused by RF getting into the rig, most likely from either the microphone cord or the coax

Re: My new V6 and what I learned from this group
Thanks for the suggestions.? As for RF leakage, I'm in a situation where my dummy load is in a different state so can't do that.? I also have an issue with grounding since I'm in a condo with

Re: Transmit Output Power (CW) #v5
Rob, I have not modified the LPFs on my V4, but I did change the relays. The filter caps on the finals are rated 470uf at 25v, so no need to screw with them. On the harmonics, I did see an increase on
