We have not worked on the site, mainly because I was spending time on my FDIM talk and now our club hamfest is Saturday and Al and I are working on the book. One chapter is a different mag loop and

Jack, any luck with your website? I am starting to take a serious look at the JackAl board, would love to find out more info before buying...as in the BOM and Prices, etc. - Rich WB2GXM

Re: External Amp
Hi Richie Were you able to get the 22ohm 1 watt resistor added?? can you share the exact place you soldered over from the gate to target solder point.? That is where it is not clear. Sajid

Add S-meter to VK3YE AGC
I have been pleased with this unusual AGC circuit as it nicely removes the top of large signals.? VK3YE has suggested measuring current in parallel with the LED that drives the AGC action, but I

Antuino and SWR
Has anyone experimented with the Antuino as an SWR meter? I have noticed it reads consistently high, even after repeated return loss calibrations. Using a set of calibrated dummy loads, I get these

Re: AGC Circuit for uBITX Featured in July 2019 QST Magazine
Back to topic -- I see it uses a LM386 output with a JFET input conditioning stage.? A MOSFET is across the differential input of the LM386 to provide attenuation.? audio is sensed by a diode, that

Re: AGC Circuit for uBITX Featured in July 2019 QST Magazine
As we almost started to debate this, ubitx works with no agc, and somewhat better with audio AGC. Glad I figured out finally the vk3ye agc, its nice enough. Those adding the jackal get something even

Re: AGC Circuit for uBITX Featured in July 2019 QST Magazine
Mad is right. Just turning down the volume is good enough for the majority of *Bitx* owners. And how designer meant for this minimalist rig was meant to be used. But if you got the gain way up to hear

Re: AGC Circuit for uBITX Featured in July 2019 QST Magazine
If in your location you get stations you want to hear that are strong enough to still sound distorted when the volume control is turned down, then you do need the dynamic range that RF attenuation

Re: AGC Circuit for uBITX Featured in July 2019 QST Magazine
The advantage of the JackAL is that it is a true AGC, controlling the gain of the AF and RF stages of the radio¡­ and thus preventing overload and distortion of the RF stages before the audio gain

Re: AGC Circuit for uBITX Featured in July 2019 QST Magazine
The JackAl circuit has both audio and IF AGC, is Open Source, and designed for the ?BITX. The manuals can be downloaded from QRP Guys. Anyone who wants to build it is free to do so. See attached.
