Problem with demaged BITX40


Tom, SQ9DJE
 

My second bitx40 came damaged. I found the broken T4 transformer wire, and I fixed it. TRX transmits but with weak power but I leave it to fix later. Unfortunately the reception is still poor but when I touch my finger the L3 ?of bandpass filter, reception is greatly improved, you can see it here . As I watch the coil bandpass filter seems that L2 has more turns than L1 and L3, it is similar to VFO L4.

And here my question is how many turns on which core have the L1, L2, L3 bandpass filter coils and what are the characteristic data of the VFO L4 coil. I could unwrap a few turns of L4 to get L2 ( or L3, or L1 ) - it looks like L4 has the same core and same wire diameter ....


best regards


Tom


 

They (L1, L2, L3) should all have 40 turns each.

all bandpass filter coils L1, L2, L3 have 50 turns ? :(

I too have an intermittent problem with a loose coil. Not sure which one just yet, but when I tap it the receiver goes quiet. I'm pretty sure (I hope) it's just a bad solder connection. Working fine now.

It looks like women who make BITX40 instead of L1. L2, L3 bandpass filter solder coils used in VFO ..... after reducing 10 turns of each coil L1, L2, L3 my BITX40 works in RX and TX as it should .... anyway I'm waiting for uBITX ....: )
