Re: Trial to control CW power (and reduce harmonics as a result) by unbalancing the 2nd mixer #ubitx
Thank you all for your replies. Much appreciated. I will do more work based on your input and report back on the results. 73, John (VK2ETA)

Maybe. Except it is working just fine at the first mixer on thousands of uBitx's.

Re: Trial to control CW power (and reduce harmonics as a result) by unbalancing the 2nd mixer #ubitx
It seems the slightest leakage from "open" unbalances the mixer -and an Arduino output doesn't deliver that cleanly. Physically switching the key, direct from the panel socket or by relay, may be the

v5 12m/10m Spectrums
Hi everyone.? Someone, I think Curt, asked about spectrum results on 12m/10m which I had not looked at previously.? The screen caps are in Photos (not files) under my call, K0EIA.? If I am reading

Re: CW key sticking with Nextion LCD
Hi Joe, There was a blocking diode fix on r52 that fixed all of my cw issues. I'm going off of memory...but, I lifted r52, on side towards 2822 chip, add diode in series...cathode down to board. I

Re: Trial to control CW power (and reduce harmonics as a result) by unbalancing the 2nd mixer #ubitx
John, Topology is different between first and second mixers on the uBitx. I'd do your mod as proposed, but cut traces to T4 pins 3,5 and 6. Swap them so T4 pins 3,5 are in from R47, pin 6 is out to

CW key sticking with Nextion LCD
I recently installed the 5” Nextion on uBitx Rig. I noticed that on the 10 meter band the CW key sticks when pressed and there is a noisy tone that goes along worn it. I guess this is RF getting in

Re: Trial to control CW power (and reduce harmonics as a result) by unbalancing the 2nd mixer #ubitx
John, Try a higher value for R104 like 100K preset or pot. The current the diodes need to conduct is very small IMHO. Raj

Re: Trial to control CW power (and reduce harmonics as a result) by unbalancing the 2nd mixer #ubitx
John, RE:? "The 245mV value did not change significantly when I reduced the R105/R104 values....." If you're looking for a power change via R104, you must increase that resistance value (from the

Re: My wish list for ver. 6 of ubitx
Ver. 5 cleverly upgraded previous versions tackling most of the? issues. In any case I would move for a ver. 6 if: 1) separate relays were used at the input and the output of the LPF, to be fully

Re: Trial to control CW power (and reduce harmonics as a result) by unbalancing the 2nd mixer #ubitx
Thank you for the reply Dexter. The strange thing is that the control voltage at the mixer swings from a virtually zero value (0.2mV DC on key up) and a full conduction value at 245mV DC on key

Re: Trial to control CW power (and reduce harmonics as a result) by unbalancing the 2nd mixer #ubitx
Thank you Ted. That may well be my final option. I was hoping for a software controlled power level as I already do in with the SSB signal by using the gentle (relative to an audio passband) slope

Re: Trial to control CW power (and reduce harmonics as a result) by unbalancing the 2nd mixer #ubitx
A possibility for the CW just changing amplitude: is the 'unbalancer' driven from an Arduino output? That could be going from low to high - either of which would unbalance. I'm not an Arduino expert,

Re: Trial to control CW power (and reduce harmonics as a result) by unbalancing the 2nd mixer #ubitx
Here - let me suggest an alternative: 1. Cut trace on either side of? R104. 2. Add a 10k trim pot in series with R104. 3. Adjust new trimmer for desired CW carrier output. 4. Enjoy favourite cold

Re: Trial to control CW power (and reduce harmonics as a result) by unbalancing the 2nd mixer #ubitx
Sorry for the typo and bad sentence. The first question should read: 1. What can create this reduced difference between the unbalanced and balanced state of the clock #1 mixer? 73, John
