Re: Broadband HF Folded Dipole Antennas
Gordon, The trick with non resonant antennas is to insure the lengths are not resonant.?? I never said it was easy hence Cebik? going with two one 44ft and 88Ft for 3-30 coverage. Another trick is

Re: PA breaking into oscillation? (uBitx)
I hope you are testing into a dummy load. The circuit is quite stable over many reported builds. I also hope that everything is laid out in a line. - f

Re: boosting the power on 28 MHz

Allison, concerning the bifilar balun choke to supply the DC voltage to the drains of the IRF510 is one big step forward in equalizing the gain! I got a large improvement on the famous 20W G6ALU amp

Seems like the variation between radios is significant. For certain I nee to look at the power chain.? My breadboard is better behaved but there are a handful of significant differences.? The first

Re: Buyer beware! RD16HHF1
Re-reading what you wrote, I see there's nothing said about IRF510 vs RD16HHF1. Guess I was reading between the lines, as $0.50 has been given here as the price of the IRF510. My apologies. Jerry

Re: uBITXII
Hi Jerry, Yes you are right, some sound okay and others don't. At the cheap price of Electret elements, I order some from several different sources and just solder in one at a time and listen to

Re: uBITX narrow IF filter mod for CW, anyone tried this?
Increasing the caps as Farhan pointed out elsewhere would fine but then you should adjust the BFO to put the signals in the passband.? That mod however makes SSB really poor both RX and TX. While

Re: uBITXII
Though many report good performance from the mike element that comes with the kit. At around $0.10 each, it's possible the quality might vary a bit between units and between manufacturers. Jerry

Re: Buyer beware! RD16HHF1
Also, keep in mind that if you plan to move from the IRF510 to the RD16HHF1,? the uBitx final should have some adjustments to the transformer ratios and such. The RD16HHF1 is not quite a drop in

Going to 150ma should be fine, so long as those IRF510 tabs are not getting so hot that it's uncomfortable to keep your finger on it. But those bias pots are very touchy once you get into the active
