Re: Tinny sounding electric miss on uBitx
I experienced similar tinny mic audio issues. I had not realized the BFO
affects both.
After figuring out the BFO tx /rx relationship, I now just transmit and
listen to my audio when

Re: What firmware do you suggest for uBitx???
Jack, I agree, the rig should be working before you do any software "mods".
If your writing your own, then, of course, change one thing at a time.
If you like most of us, not writing your own, then

Re: Blown by nearby transceiver
#bitx40help
Something like an airwound solenoid inductor will indeed pick up nearby RF
through magnetic coupling, perhaps enough to burn traces.? ?
I'd be surprised if a toroid could do that, at least with the

Re: Tinny sounding electric miss on uBitx
Transmit and receive are symetrical on the uBitx and Bitx40, uses the same bfo and IF filter.
Should have about the same audio characteristics on transmit as receive.
Assume the crystal filter has a

Re: Bitx40 - receiver works great, but do not transmit

That's looks great if you want a high impedance probe for your oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer.
RF goes in, bigger RF at the same frequency goes out
But that is not a suitable RF probe for a DVM,

Re: Tinny sounding electric miss on uBitx
Oops -- I noticed you said "tinny when
monitoring in another receiver..."
That would rule out the BFO in YOUR receiver.
It could be the voice quality of your mic amplifier.

Re: Tinny sounding electric miss on uBitx
Mike, Bill is probably right,
Check and adjust your BFO first. That is
almost always the reason for poor voice quality,
especially since others are using the more or
less the same setup and not

Re: No power increase with higher voltage?
Well, gentlemen, we have a true ham here.
If RF is getting back into your booster and changing the output voltage,
there are 2 solutions; either block the RF with a filter (and shielding),
or change
