Well, I got the uBITX v3 assembled.? Put power to it, and it worked.
But, I am not a CW kinda guy.
It comes up on the display with ONLY CW: 7.150.000
I cannot find any manual or guide for programming.
HELP!!

I do not know of a v3 manual.? Here is a v4 which should be close:

Try cycling the PTT line and see if it switches to LSB or USB...

You should also be able to change modes via the menu...

Chris did you install the 4.75k resistor??Without it the
radio may cycle or stay in CW mode ?See page 4 of the mini manual.?
Also function settings on page 16.? Hope this helps!

The CW Key NEEDS to be installed even if not used. Thanks My instructions did not have that.

I would clarify what Christopher is saying in that the PULLUP RESISTOR and 3.5 mm plug needs to be installed.? The key itself is optional.

Thanks Evan, this is exactly what I needed. Mine did not have all this information in it. Now I can change bands and function so life is good. All I need to do is hook up the microphone and pull my antenna out of the shed and I should be able to run a test, but it may not be till next weekend because I have to work this week even though I am working from home.

Actually, all I did was add the 4.7 km resistor between the yellow and blue wires on the Arduino cable ribbon and that put the voltage where it needed to be. Then I made sure that the push to talk button that came with the kit was jumpered between the yellow and red wires on the tuning knob. So now I have access to all the bands and all the frequencies.

Chris,
Good job! You would not believe how much trouble that little
4.7k resistor has caused over the last 3 years!? Glad it's all working
now.

I saw Dave Cassler on YouTube set up the mic and PPT on a pen cap.? It does work.
One question y'all. The heatsinked transistors towards?the back get hot in standby? Do I need to find a fan of some kind for them?

Chris,
The only time that any of the 3 uBITX ( 6 PA transistors) that I have get warm is when running digital mode for an extended period of time.? I would check the bias setting of the finals.? The finals setup should be the same as the version 4 wireup instructions here:??and Tune-Up:?
Note: ALL of my Raduino voltage regulators get HOT.? That is normal.? The regulator is on the board that is at right angles to the mainboard on the left side looking at the display.
After writing the above, I realize that you should explain what you mean by standby.? There is only transmit and receive as far as I know.

Have to look at that on Saturday, this will be a busy week.
As for the standby, yes, it is receive actually.
