John #27326 Hi All, Is there a correct pronunciation of BITX? I've been calling it "Bittex" but I wonder if there's an official pronunciation. Thanks and 73, John G4EDX Nottingham, England

John #27331 I've had a reply from Radio Royalty! Thank you so much for responding to me. It's By-Tex for me from now on. Thank you too for such a brilliant design which has brought inexpensive HF operation to so many. I'm helping a friend at our local club, the South Nottinghamshire Amateur Radio Club (SNARC) in what will be his first HF construction project. Of course, I have to build on too! We're building modules on 2 inch/50mm squares of copper-clad board. We're right at the start of the project, and I'm working on the AF amplifier board first. I just came to the computer to look up the details of some relays I've found for the Tx/Rx changeover, and saw your reply.? Thanks again for your reply and all you've given to this great hobby! Maybe we'll meet on the air sometime.

Noel All Messages By This Member #27335 I ran with Bit - X.? Bit being a small part of something bigger, and X being an unknown quantity. And boy hasn't this little Bit of a radio turned into something bigger?! -- 73 de Noel, ZL1NC

[email protected] All Messages By This Member #27349 I like BIT- X as the pronunciation although I believe the name came from BI directional Transceiver (TX), so those who pronounce it BYE-TEX may have a valid point. -- Mike VK3XL
Gerard VK2IO Member Profile All Messages By This Member #27351 I used to pronounce it BYE-TEX. Then Farhan was?interviewed on and he pronounced it BEE-EYE-TEE-EXS so that is how I pronounce it now. It was the closest I could find to an "official" pronunciation. YMMV! Cheers, Gerard - VK2IO

Alex - PA1FOX All Messages By This Member #27364 I've been used to pronouncing 'Bittix'. Probably cause is that the seperate 'X' is pronnounced as ' ix ' in Dutch. What's in a name..?? 73, Alex PA1FOX
Ken KM4NFQ #27367 Listen to how Ashhar Farhan pronounces BITX at: the podcast: "BEE EYE TEE EX" B I T X. However, like many Americans, I pronounce it, "bit-ex," even though I know it is actually pronounced "B I T X" by Mr. Farhan. 73 DE KM4NFQ
