Re: CB to 10m Conversions
David - something to keep in mind when removing the channel switch - the input lines to the PLL may float to a state that represents an invalid channel. That may cause the PLL to shut down the

Re: CB to 10m Conversions
Nice!!!
t leaast i know im not the only one converting these rigs. Yes 10 meters is hot. I was running Cw with about 1 1/2 watts and making contacts. I want to build a fm board so i can run the

Re: Toroid size for scratch build Bitx40
BTW, the 37 in FT37-43 means its size is 0.37 inch, and 43 is the material
mix of the toroid. So yes, they are very small. If you have fat fingers,
the FT50-43 is a bit bigger. Use about one turn less

Re: Toroid size for scratch build Bitx40
The FT37-61 toroid has a much lower permittivity than FT37-43, translating
into a far lower inductance. I'd guess 5 to 10 times less inductance. It
might work, but why go through the trouble? FT37-43

Re: sbitx encoder contact bounce
Two 0.1 uf capacitors on the encoder board are WAY much simpler!

Re: sbitx encoder contact bounce
Hi Evan:
What is the interpretation of the call to enc_read(&enc_b)? Most encoder ISR's return either 0 or 1. If that's the case, the ISR could be simplified to:
void tuning_isr(void) {?? int

Re: sbitx encoder contact bounce
Farhan,
In reviewing the tuning encoder, I found the function tuning_isr(void):
static int tuning_ticks = 0;
void tuning_isr(void){
int tuning = enc_read(&enc_b);
if (tuning < 0)
tuning_ticks++;

Re: Getting much closer to hearing something
I had a senior moment looking at those pictures and thought you were up
around 14800, but that isn't an 8, it's a 0. So look at the waterfall where
14020 is located. See the dots and dashes flowing up

I also must apologize. for the hijacking . the solder smoke video is incredible. I love the way he used copper foil on board with each board slightly isolated . incredible

Aaron,
You always have to assume the outputs of any transceiver is unclean. I have friends with 1000 dollar radios that think their outputs are super clean and when you put them ona spectrum analyzer

In the sbitx, the encoders fire interrupts and measure the time through

A block diagram of the conversion concept is attached.
Apologies to Bill for hijacking his thread. At least the conversion process requires the generation of some SolderSmoke.
