I had the same issue. I replaced K1 with the axicom and it fixed it.i only run about 15 watts on 80 meters, but I was switching inductance on my ant tuner often while in transmit. I think that may

WOW! that Wolfwave filter cost upwards of $300 USD!!! My digital filter does everything it does and more (including a color display)... and was less than $50...

Re: Narrow filter for CW

I believe this is where the Wolfwave comes in. It is a complete enclosure and GUI with the sotabeams DSP board at its core. A tad pricey but it does everything - including regenerating clean CW from a

I'm glad you found the answer. I looked at the schematic trying to make a suggestion on what to check but I have no experience with the ubitx. There has been quite a few Cobra mikes used over the last

Re: Stuck relay
Those relays are only rated for two amps @ a not very high voltage; Contacts will eventually wear out on any relay. You can probably find a slightly beefier relay, use it instead, and add a transistor

Stuck relay
I have a V3 uBITX that was stuck in TX last night...until I opened the rig up and tapped on the relays to "correct" the problem temporarily. Does anyone know which relay is to blame, and what the

Re: Narrow filter for CW

The sotabeams filters are exceedingly good technically. It's the flexibility and user interface that's stinks. And, of course, it can't be modified, even though the processor has plenty of resource

Success.? The problem turned out to be a short between the mic audio line and ground.? Sunil from amateurradiokits.in had sent me a second front panel PCB after I reported my initial problem to him.

The 12/11mhz crystal filter is after all IF amps on receive. The IF amps are operating at very low signal levels, most of the gain is in the audio amps. It's the audio pre-amp (a 2n3904 just before

Don First before we assume its a bad relay, reflow each pin and also reduce the transmit drive level. You never know the relay may be okay. I assume you tried more than one band? Make sure you don't

That looks like a cool implementation. Is your audio bandpass filter stand alone or is it an add-on to the Sotabeams filter board? It sounds like it is a stand alone DSP filter and display. Is the
