OK Everyone, thanks. ?I'll go back to bench with these pointers. Ken, KG6PO

All: I have uploaded the new software for the BITX40 color TFT display and VFO PCB. The new release fixes a number of bugs, especially in the display and the processing of the encoder. Users should

Glad to hear that report! I put a lot of time into that antenna! Very happy to see that it actually works! I plan to publish the plans and software here and on the Yahoo MagLoop group as soon as I

Ok, I’ll give these suggestions a try and see what happens. Thanks!

Similar to what Jerry suggested I connected my KX3 to 50 ohm dummy load that I had built into an Altoids box. I opened the box to let a bit of RF leak and connected a jumper wire to the BIX40 antenna

Hi with a little patience you can easily make your own step attenuators. The one in the first link can attenuate signals up to 80dBs The one in the second link one can attenuate signals up to 71dBs

Your signal generator is -10dBm, and an S9 signal is -73dBm. So to make it so the signal generator sounds like an S9 signal you need 63dB of attenuation. Stacking 3 of those 20dB attenuators would

My first BITX40 #66 the volume control failed. The failure happened when I resoldered one lead that came off. The plating quality is not good IMHO. Check the DC voltage on LM386 pin 6. The

Dexter, It went dead over time. Looks like the horrible volume control have up the ghost. - f

... or wired AAF (Kiwi slang, arse-about-face). Measure your pot wiper-to-each-end. Rotate shaft to 'minimum' as though (or if, then as) mounted in panel. Now which end measures 0 ohms? That's the end

I would imagine the vol control is suspect at this time... - f

Hi guys, I’ve been tied up for a few days and just been able to revisit my original post. I have a 50 ohm 20db attenuator. If I run my RigExpert analyzer into the attenuator and then the attenuator

Excellent! Use that to follow each step thru the audio with an antenna connected to it. Doesn't matter what it's receiving, even noise will show an ever increasing waveform. Actually noise is

Good conditions, but lots of stations.? Made contact with Willie, W1LY (Rhode Island) and Ken, WI1B (Massachusetts) Heard WA2FZW(?), N2CQR (VA), WA3O (PA), N8DAH (MI), KA9OOI (IN), N6ORS (WI)

I'd definitely try to remember which toroid it was. My guess is that the insulation on the magnet wire wasn't quite properly removed, and you have a very flaky solder joint there, waiting to fail

I too had intermittent receive. I used the very non-technical "tap" method. One of the tiny toroids had a problem either in the winding or the soldered connections. I tapped/wiggled it so that it

Put a switch on an I/O pin and use INPUT_PULLUP with pinMode(). When a NO pushbutton is pushed, the line is pulled LOW, which changes its state. Jack, W8TEE To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, October
