Re: Inexpensive eBay Amplifier Kits
Any amateur amp should be followed by a low pass filter suitable for knocking out the second harmonic and beyond. That means separate filters for 160m, 80m, 40m, 20m, 10m. You may piggyback some of

Re: uBITX adjustable power supply?
Several things... Those are switching converters and make noise.? Some can only go to barely 3A, most much less, the TX will want at least 2+A (at 12V) or more.? At 80m and 24V expect 3 to 3.5A

Re: Inexpensive eBay Amplifier Kits
I have seen some of these come with 30mhz LP filters and some order the model without a filter and add one for the band they will be using.? Is either idea acceptable or is one better than the other.

Looks nice.??Perhaps pin headers for audio derived AGC add on, pin headers for de click add on, pin headers for VOX add on. Nice to have test points, I make them with a filled pad and silk

Re: calibrate v4 ubitx
I zero-beat. This beatnote thing wasn't well thought out, you want to move the BFO too, far enough to avoid hearing the opposite sideband. Left as an exercise for the reader.

Don't use it much either, I also find it cryptic. But it's very handy in macros, the *..h files are full of the ternary operator. I'm a luddite myself when it comes to a fancy user interface for no

You could use a 50mhz reference, but you would have to hack the Raduino code a bit. Something like this should work, as per post? ??/g/BITX20/message/35235 In my own Raduino code,
