Re: NEXTION DISPLAY UPDATES For KD8CEC ver 1.094 up

 

Thanks Ashok,
I'll try it

Re: I find This Shorted Circuit on Raduino, here the pics..plz Help? #ubitx-help

 

Ok thank you!

Have you read my describtion of the last receive test? When you read the part of i say bad ssb and much bad AM signal sounding then what do you think about? Is my only issue just the right calibration? I have no backup or factory file or value for the setting and i think i doesnt know what i should do when it is mostly impossible to calibtrate just with WWV signal when my ubitx is much wrong away from the right setting..

What can i do when i doesnt receive a WWV signal near the frequency it should be for calibration.. And is there any ability to use a copy of a saved MM file from other user here who's gone right setting his ubitx?

Is there a way with MM to set the Master Calibtration without any frequency generator or counter? Just a value number which is near the best with i'm can handle the whole problem?

Mine goes dark after about 3 minutes and usually comes back on if I turn the encoder rapidly.

Fabian, there are other time stations that maybe better for you to use out of Moscow and Spain they may be stronger that WWV.?
Try this link: ?
This will give you many frequencies to tryout. There is a manual for Ian¡¯s Memory Manager software in the file section I believe and I forgot who wrote it.?
Nice case for your UBITX you have done a nice job

That day i intalled CEC 1.08 and first Received many FT8 sounds at 80m, 60m, 40m, 30m, 20m... But no AM radio station was find,only my opinion say there can be an AM radio Station but the modulation was incompleate and but a few SSB station was like the same issue, i have heared Voice SSB but really not hearable in view like it should be.. it was not able to hear the Voice clearly and it looks like this issue that the BFO and or even more the more Master Calibration is here the thing what makes this issue that AM not really able to hear and SSB voice not really able to hear but and this say on HAM by looking at 7.074mhz FT8 signal and say there is an issue and say this can not be ok that at this Band the 7.074mhz FT8 signal is heared in LSB! And he think it was all versus in my Ubitx v3...

And that is the issue what i'am think too at today.. Can this be real that my whole bad Receive issue is coming from an bad and wrong Calibration (Master Calibration/Zero Beat/BFO) and this is the whole thing i have to correct? And this day was till today the best Receive Test i have had... But it is reall, sad when i say Receive to this what i have heared and the other 3 HAM friends on this day say there is an big Calibration or on pcb/bad ic issue but they all are only HAM with buying ready stuff and no one from they ever make homebrew or Calibration or any thing what looks like work under the case of an transceiver.. so they can not help me but have makr an contact for 5.oktober.2018 with the only HAM professionel here in town who make work at qrp project and homebrew for years..but till that day i don't want sit here an do nothing.. i think all here know what i mean whit this issue that i have ...

So now i can ask for new question... Here are few picture from my Ubitx and it show the inner construction to show you my version is built up.. here please look

To the Mamory Manager....? I'm use for upload the CEC1.08-2004P.hex file and i have download and make a look in the ubitx manager but never use for for calibration or any other point..because i found no answer online to use this MM with an setting or for factory set for my problem..?

When the Calibration is the issue that i really think now,too. But i see ways for calibration with WWV(time signal) or with an Frequency Generator, but i don't have this tool. And the WWV timr signal at 10mhz would be not not confirmed by CEC software maker Ian... He say the MM with an Frequency Counter directly connected to the SI5351 and an simple calculator he used for find his correct Master Calibration... An Frequency Counter i don't have, too.

But the WWV signal at 10mhz i never received but i have receive a few few times short time, a few minute or only seconds sometimes, was received at 9.65mhz and 9.55mhz but never at 10.000mhz so its a point for wrong calibration i should have, too.

When i only find one way to set i was soo much thankfully, i can't describe how much luck this showing me..

Thank you for your picture, ok i see the pcb line yes and when you have v3 board too with fci then we have even a new way toghether to become this luck. When you say we have the same board, then is the simple thing when i make the same setting that you have in MM like same Master Calibration and other setted Values?!

Can you give me please an Screenshot of your value numbers in the MM?? that can be the allmighty breakthrough!

When you have an 2004paralell Lcd Display then it was even better when i can have your copy of saved MM file but i think you have an other display or not so?

Now i have new hope from this idea...


Best Regards Fabian !

Re: NEXTION DISPLAY UPDATES For KD8CEC ver 1.094 up

 

Richard,
I have the Nextion 2.4 display and you can drill one hole in the Sunil's case and mount it on the front
on 3/8" stand offs (2 diagonally).? Not too elegant but now I can run it and decide if I want to modifiy the case an place inside
and/or make a bezel.
Has anyone had a problem with the display going off after a few minutes.
Mine goes dark after about 3 minutes and usually comes back on if I turn the encoder rapidly.

Re: No Signal on uBit-x #ubitx-help

 

Allison, Joe,
I do not seem to have that option for recalibration.? I'm on version 1.09 of Dr Lee's software.??
However, Allison was right on .? I recalibrated a couple of times and receive has returned and transmitting about 5 watts.
Thanks for straightening me out before I ripped the unit apart.

Has any one had trouble with the Nextion screen going off after a while?
After about 2-3 minutes, the screen goes dark.? Sometimes if I immediately turn the encoder , it comes back on,
but some time I have to reboot.

Re: Bitx40 vs. uBitx

 

If you could have a 20m? band pass filter before antenna signal reaches the first mixer, It is very likely you get those two station on uBitx too.

Re: No Signal on uBit-x #ubitx-help

 

Hi Joe,
Yes I also have the CEC firmware.? So this sounds like a better option than hunting and pecking with the calibratiion as I have nothing stored.
Andy KM4TRT
Re: No Signal on uBit-x #ubitx-help

 

Hi Allison,
OK, I think the rust is starting to come off now.? So if I inadvertantly shifted the input frequency to the filter with the cal control, say 10K?(instead of the 100 that I was looking for) then the?
signal will no longer go through the passband.? SO? whats the procedure for getting it back?
I think that the scope reading was over 45 MHZ, so I'll just adjust the calibration until I see it moving down,
Then I can find it with a dummy load and my IC7300 display.
What part of the circuit is the Cal from the Arduino actually shifting??
Thanks
Andy
