UHF/VHF uBITx equivalent

Fred Buecker #40691 Is anyone aware of a VHF and/or UHF band "version" of uBITx? I am aware of the DSP-10, but that project is rather dated and does not seem as straightforward a project to undertake as uBITx is. I've seen things like the Ham Shield for an arduino as well as some "hacks" using various SRD receivers. I'm trying to find something a bit more useful than a hack, yet still able to be upgraded and customized like I see here in the BITX community. I know it's off-topic a bit, but I still appreciate any input you guys might have. Thank you! -Fred KC3HMS
David Arthur All Messages By This Member #40721 The RDA818/DRA818 is a VHF/UHF transceiver IC used by baofengs and the like. There are a number of projects (including hamshield I think) which use it. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Mon, Jan 29, 2018 at 4:40 PM Fred Buecker <tfbiii2002@...> wrote: Is anyone aware of a VHF and/or UHF band "version" of uBITx?

Nick VK4PP All Messages By This Member #40732 Hi Fred. This is also on my project list. I have both the V and U version of the DRA818. I am planning on a simply desktop unit powered by arduino and a nokia 5110 lcd. a cheap baofen mic/speaker. Just for experimentation and local repeater access as these modules are only 1W... maybe even do APRS... In the end though, If all you want is a cheap V/U radio, just buy a $30 UV5R... 73, Nick.

The challenge would be to build something from scratch. - f toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Tue, Jan 30, 2018 at 9:56 AM, <nickpullen@...> wrote: Hi Fred. This is also on my project list.

Fred Buecker #40758 I have a UV5R. 2 actually, LOL. It's not as fun as building something, even if it's from a kit, though. Building helps me to gain a deeper understanding of the technology and I can go over it with my kids and teach them along the way. Looking forward to what you come up with!

Fred Buecker #40759 Thank you sir! I had just stumbled across this last night as well. While not a full home-brew as you call out, it certainly can be a cool project to work on with my kids! toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Mon, Jan 29, 2018 at 11:40 PM, Ashhar Farhan <farhanbox@...> wrote: But, this is not much of a homebrew.
