Re: Ubitx v6 No Output on SSB

Evan The am station was not coming through before I tried tuning to it. I¡¯ll have to try another calibration. I do have a nano vna so I¡¯ll give that a shot.? 73 |

Spencer,
There are two possibilities that I can think of: 1 - The AM station is close to your QTH and overloading the first mixer.? That would mean a BCI filter is needed. 2 - The other possibility is that you tuned the v6 to receive the BC signal and not the standard HF band signals when you did the calibration.? That would require a recalibration using another standard.? I use WWV, though dealing with the tones is an issue.? The other calibration option would be to use a signal generator as the AM source.? By chance, do you have a NanoVNA or TinySA?? Either can be used as a signal generator if you do not have one. The most likely cause is the first. By chance, did you save the calibration file using the Memory Manager from KD8CEC?? If so, I would load that into the Nano with the KD8CEC software and see if that solves the problem. 73 Evan AC9TU |

Hi Evan if I have time in the next few days I¡¯ll try and record a video of what it¡¯s doing. This thing is weird.? 73 |

Hi Spencer,
If I have read your post correctly, you can not change the frequency with either of the two Nano MPCs.? I do not see how that can happen unless you plugged the tuning encoder into the mainboard instead of the Raduino board.? Have you tried to set the frequency with the touch display? 73 Evan AC9TU |

If you find a link that you believe pertinent to the V6 I would ask on the group page or contact the author directly before posting the link to the Wiki or your web page. Mike N2MS On 12/18/2022 12:35 PM Doug Kaye <doug@...> wrote: |

Re: #sbitx upgrade kit 2 is on the way
#sBitx
Hello Joel, No, this upgrade kit is for those who already got their sBitx DE version. And for those who are yet to receive their sBitxes, we are upgrading the boards by applying the mods at the factory itself before dispatching them. Hopefully you should be getting yours soon as well.

I tested the voltages at q7 and they are very similar to the readings on the chart you provided the link to.? I did some more testing, this time with a Bird 43 meter with peak kit.? Turns out that it does transmit when in ssb mode, my other meter doesn't read peak even though it has a peak switch on the front.....
The radio was still a bit off, so I took a shot at calibrating the unit.? Following the instructions on the ubitx site I tried tuning it to a strong am station and calibrating the vfo. (the station os 820khz).? After trying the best I could to zero beat the station, I tuned to 7.074 to see if I was on frequency as a test. I'm not sure how, but this thing has still managed to stay tuned to the am station. I have tried to power cycle it, unplugged power, even reinstalled the old display and arduino. I'm not even sure where to go with this thing now, nothing it is doing is making any sense.? Thanks Spencer VA3SPN |

Re: uBitx v6 Resource Page
#ubitxv6
Hi, Mike. I'd be happy to move the content to the wiki. My concern, and the reason I started the page, is that it's hard to know what works with the v6 kit. I've already purchased two mod kits only to discover they're not quite right, Can you suggest a way to organize the info that is (a) v6-compatible/specific, and (b) still within the structure of the wiki?
? ?...doug, K6DRK |

Hi Folks I just read this discussion about an up grade kit.? A kit was "sent out".? If thr kit parties to the transever i ordered, do I need too order the upgrade kit?? Additionally,? my address has changed.? Is there a way to update shipping information on the HF Signals site? I believe I have the uBITX V6. Previous address: 533 Yatz Dr. Edgewood, KY Current address: John Novak 125 S. Howell St? Hillsdale,? MI. 49242 859 835 0556? Thanks for any direction I can get.

Maybe tough to beat, but also tough to afford. I've ordered boards from China where the shipping is twice the cost of the boards!I know that feeling...but then when I look at total cost per board, including shipping, and shipping time, I'm usually still way ahead compared to stateside fab. |
