Re: uBITX Case

Re: It's alive!
The rotary encoder that came with my uBITX does not have mechanical detents. It is free-running. Rotary encoders that I got earlier from Ebay vendors look the same but they do have mechanical detents.

Ashar Farhan, These have your name on them if I can find a way less expensive than the cost of a ?BITX to ship them to you. Which I haven¡¯t found. Craig KM4YEC

Re: SDR dongle for spectrum analyzer with signal from Bitx40?
We'll have to see if we have enough pico-acres available, but we already have the code for it available from a signal generator project. Jack, W8TEE

It amazing just as it is!! Been listening to 40M CW while I work on some photos I took. I swear the receiver is as good as my FT-1200. Jack, W8TEE To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, December 13,

Re: SDR dongle for spectrum analyzer with signal from Bitx40?
Thanks Jack! I am very enthusiastic about the possibility. That would be a capability I could not otherwise afford. And a great learning experience trying to assemble it without letting out the magic

Re: It's alive!
You can make an encoder free running like a pot, just remove the ball. I did it with an encoder that I use to tune my PC with HDSDR. Phil - G7BZD jjpurdum@...> wrote:

Re: SDR dongle for spectrum analyzer with signal from Bitx40?
The really cheap SDR dongles (meant for DVB-T television reception, $10) can get down to 30mhz without a downconverter (as I recall). They only have an 8bit A2D converter, so reception with the uBitx

Re: SDR dongle for spectrum analyzer with signal from Bitx40?
That's the reason for the additional horsepower. I will admit that I'm getting into an area of development that's new to me, but one that I'm very excited about. The goal is a 5" panadapter

Re: SDR dongle for spectrum analyzer with signal from Bitx40?
Jack Any possibility of getting the waterfall display functionality into your next revision of W8TEE TFT? It would make the uBitx a wonderful piece of kit for family outings. -John

It's alive!
It's a mess, but I have my ?BITX working now. I wanted to get it working before I put it in a case which is why there's wires all over the place as I trimmed none yet. That will happen when I move it

Re: uBITX Case
All sorts of ways to do this. If the case is metal, I'd attach the IRF510's directly to the metal case using standard TO220 insulating washers and heat transfer compound. ?The case is the heatsink.

Re: uBITX Case
There have been many posts over the years that talked about making or purchasing suitable cases for various BITX rigs. All involve some amount of measuring and cutting appropriate holes. Simplest case
