We have pushed the ubitx v5 into production. The intial 100 boards are here. I will update the website soon too. See the scans on? /g/BITX20/album?id=84174.? I have uploaded the new Arduino firmware and the schematic on?. The new firmware breaks backward compatibility with the previous firmware as the Intermediate Frequency is now 11.059 MHz and the relay switching is different.? Probably, is it is possible to patch the new code to switch between the two LPF relay switching schemes as well as the IF with some #define statements. The new 'features' are : - LM386 is back. All hail the cross-over distortion sickness! - The IF is now 11.059 MHz, these crystals are easily available, with 68 pf, they give a pretty good 2.7 KHz band pass. As their frequency is away from any spur of 16 MHz and 25 MHz (the two crystal oscillators on the Raduino) hence, no spurs! - The relay switching scheme is different. The 30 MHz LPF is now always on, the individual LPFs for lower bands are switched in or bypassed (by default). It is easily understood in the circuit diagram. - The CW wave-shaper uses 1 uf capacitor in place of 0.1u, this reduces the key-clicks.

Nice!? Thank you for implimenting this project. Those waveforms look really nice.? Outstanding.

So maybe you could send me a working uBITX 5 as the one you sent is a dead board!
May the peace be with you.?

Excellent, really looking forward to this and all the adventures and learnings that come from it. Many thanks to the whole team for all your efforts. You have built up a huge support base, which continues to grow (including many many people who are fully comfortable with the response times, levels of service, warranty, community support etc).
I hope the loud grumblings of the "never satisfied" few do not drown out the softer voices of appreciation of the many!
Cheers

Do we have a price point on this, and, website availability??? I guess one can't tell that I'm anxious to try one out.....? :)?

Ashhar,
Thank you for the continual improvements to the uBitx kit, I'd be interested in securing one of the v5 boards once they are shipping - when will they be shipping, now that they are "in production"? If I order a uBitx on the HFSIGNALS website today, will I get a v5 board kit?
Thanks,
Ken, N2VIP

Hi Ashar ,
?
what are the news/changings of the v5 compared to the v4 ???
How much is the current consumption of uBITX v5 in RX mode only ???

Whining here in this forum won’t make it happen.? Contact HFSINGALS directly.? Farhan is not the person to contact as he is only the designer of the radio (if you’ve been paying attention). ? MRM ? ?

Geoffrey,
We test each of the boards and the tester initials them before they are sent. That's all we promise. We do not have any intent of? swindling people by purposely sending them bad boards.?
This is what I can do.
At your cost, send me the non-working board. I will personally look at what is wrong. If i find, in my opinion that the board is fine or has been destroyed due to bad connections or improper supply, etc. I will not send a replacement or the board back either. On the other hand, if there is a genuine problem that we sent a defective board to you, I will personally refund the money regardless of what HF Signals does. This is quite distressing to have to deal with this. My postal address is good on .

In the V5.1 Arduino code there are two sections that could activate the filters… a “setTXFilters” subroutine and a “setTXFilters_v5” subroutine.? There are no calls to the “setTXFilters_v5”… so it looks like it is dead code? ? MRM
