Re: Need a video on ubitx troubleshooting
Mine did that, too, because the current draw was too much for the PS, and the PS turned itself off and back and on.? That can happen (at least in my case) on lower bands with a bad antenna mismatch.

Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
Sadly based on the data sheet I got some MPSH10s and as reported they didn't perform as expected. The devices I found worked better for me are: 2n2222A(to18), I tried PN2222 and they?produced less

Re: Need a video on ubitx troubleshooting
You might want to check the power supply too. If something in it died, you might be getting ac on the power lead which could cause this symptom.

Re: Low output Bitx40
Mucking with RV1 could easily and quickly blow the IRF510. Whenever adjusting RV1 (the IRF510 gate bias voltage), you should be monitoring? the drain current into the IRF510 (12v into PA-PWR1) with

Re: Low output Bitx40
Yes, low output when speaking or whistling into mic. Power wiring correct AFAIK. RV 1 set at about 30% on arrival.? Adjusting to full CCW raises draw to about 1.6 A on PTT, with no change when using

Hi, I am not Mr Farhan, am just a user and an advanced qrm maker. As for ' Problems: great carrier in SSB mode TX, more then modulation speech signal!' I believe you should move up or down the BFO as

Re: Low output Bitx40
You might try Allard's mod to transmit CW, drive the top of C107 from 5v through a 4.7k resistor: ? ??https://github.com/amunters/bitx40/blob/master/CW-CARRIER%20wiring.png If that gives power to

Re: Low output Bitx40
Is the low output with you talking into the mic? The carrier is suppressed in SSB as you know and almost no output is expected without modulation. I had a mic go bad on mine after a month.? ?Found a

Re: receive works great, but no trans power,
#ubitx-help
That strap could cut Q90-base out of the circuit too, in case that causes RX spurs. Probably OK to leave the back-to-back diodes in there near Q90-base (to the left of C80) during transmit, as I doubt

Check voltage at R104, should be 0v. Sounds like CW is on!

That would make for a very useful experiment! If you try it, let us know what you find out! It¡¯s possible that different transistors have different reverse (base-emitter) break down voltages, which
