Ubitx variable RF out?


 

Group:

? Is there an easy way to make the RF output variable on a Ubitx?
I now have a LDMOS amp that can only take 3 watts max for 1 KW out.

Thank you!

Easiest is to adjust RV1, turning clockwise decreases drive.

If SSB (not CW), could reduce mike gain somehow at Q6.

Could add an attenuator between the uBitx and your big amp.
This might be the best solution as it can make the amp more stable
to be driven from a well behaved 50 ohm source.
?
I'd suggest you make sure your uBitx is clean first.
Spurious outputs that at 10W are barely noticeable will be?
pink ticket bait at 1000W.

Jerry ,

?Thanks for the response. Can I remove RV1 and just move it to the front panel?

Thanks!

Maybe.
I would definitely use coax I were to try moving RV1 to the front panel.?
