Re: Toroid question...again***UPDATE***
Michael If you put an ohmmeter across the toroid core you should find that the core itself has quite high DC resistance. For this reason I would suspect that the problem is more likely to be shorting

PTT delay time thoughts!
The bitx40 has two cascaded relays. One is the PTT activated one and the other is activated from the first. These relays on my board "VRS.." have some <7ms according to the data sheet. So two relays

Toroid question...again***UPDATE***
I re-soldered the 6 "legs" but the problem is still there but less sensitive to bumps. I also added some glue to the toroid to make it more mechanically sound. I am guessing the twists and turns may

Did you use 1/4" tubing like that used in the url? If so, you can double the efficiency by going to 3/4" pipe of the same length as the tubing. Vince. -- Michigan VHF Corp. http://www.nobucks.net/

Thanks for being my first BITX to BITX Tom. Same conditions on this end as well. You started out a good 56, 57 here and then slid down into the noise. Antenna here is a Butternut vertical and also

What Vince asked: How big? I'm just finishing up a 2 loop 4' one. Not sure how well it's going to perform on 40, but that's as big as I can get into the attic. Have to finish up the feed mechanism.
