Re: Antuino now available for purchase
Mike, we calibrate it using a reference 10 mhz by zero beating it. The calibration may slip. It is best to calibrate it with WWV.

What is the current version board? I have been away from the forum for awhile
Any new features or bug fixes?

All caps have a rated voltage. That is the max voltage you apply to it. If you exceed this voltage the insulation between the "plates" of the cap will break down and the magical smoke will be released

Re: Antuino now available for purchase
One other question. Can the 10 MHz output be used as a frequency source for calibration purposes?

Thanks. I had already ordered it and saw the video of it not in a case. Now I can sell my MFJ-259.

It is a fully tested unit in the all metal case. It has an internal battery case for 6 AA cells. Two SMA connectors.

Re: AGC Circuit for uBITX Featured in July 2019 QST Magazine
The voltage rating on the capacitor is the maximum the component can ¡°deal with¡±. It works absolutely fine at lower voltages of course and it is best to give some headroom for example on a 12v

Can someone explain the reasons for certain voltages listed on any schematic for the electrolytic caps, AND what problems could arise if one used a cap with a larger voltage rating? How much higher a

Re: AGC Circuit for uBITX Featured in July 2019 QST Magazine
Since the entire circuit set is 12V or less, your 16V caps should work just fine. Sent: Monday, August 12, 2019 12:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BITX20] AGC Circuit for uBITX Featured in

Re: AGC Circuit for uBITX Featured in July 2019 QST Magazine
Thanks.? Any thoughts on voltage rating for the capacitors, especially the "big" electrolytic ones?? (10uF, 100uF, 470uF... I'm assuming they're electrolytics.)? I looked at the Hycas schematic,

Re: AGC Circuit for uBITX Featured in July 2019 QST Magazine
As I recall, the JackAl AGC circuit is just the Hycas AGC circuit lifted from QST December 2007. Al added a couple of things like a switch to turn it off. The FETs are nothing special. A 201 and a 102

Re: uBitx and QCX review in QST August 2019
I agree: the video was nice, but lacking. Many very basic facts were left out. Seemed to be aimed at hams who already knew about the uBitx and just wanted to see one. -- Donald, KB5PWL

Re: AGC Circuit for uBITX Featured in July 2019 QST Magazine
I'm looking at possibly lifting just the AGC circuit out of the JackAl design, and seeing if I can stock it out of my junk box.? But... the only JFET's I have are MPF102, J201, 2N5486, and 2N4393...

For transmitting CW, clk2 drives mixer d1/d2 at the transmit frequency.? The modulator, 2 crystal filters, and 2 IF amps are not used. When transmitting SSB, all of that stuff must work. Jerry, KE7ER
