Received my uBitx!


Joe Puma
 

Ordered Jan 17th. Got shipping notice 2 days ago and it showed up today in NY.

I’m 623/3

This is my TDA chip, am I safe? Lol



Now to get a cool case. ??

Are you safe? Nope. That's a WX chip. I have the same chip except the lettering is almost unreadable.

Thanks Vince so should it be replaced completely or should add a regulator, or both?

Either is probably good enough.
Both is best.

We don't really know much about the WX except that many have blown in the uBitx.
I'd tend to replace the chip.
There are reports on the web that some of the TDA2822 clones work fine
at 5 or 6v, and blow when you go much higher.
The WX seems to be one of those, so just a regulator is probably good enough.
Let us know if you find out otherwise.

I got mine yesterday also,? ordered 2/17.? I looked and I too have the WX chip.? I plan on doing the 7509 regulator SMD MOD as it's an almost drop on the board fix.

Good luck finding a 7509.? ?(Did you mean LM7805?)
There are web reports of clone chips out there that blow if over 7v.
Don't know about the WX, but 5 or 6v would be safer than 9v.

This is exciting news - I ordered mine on 2/19.

As for the 2822 chips, I've decided to put a regulator in their B+? line before ever powering them up.

Thanks!


 

It's HERE
ordered Feb 11
received Mar 16

Fantastic!

I have to wonder what is going on here!? I ordered mine February 1st and have gotten no shipping notification yet.? Are they not shipping in order?

They are in order and it would seem yours should have shipped. Why don’t you email them??

Per suggestion here I did email hfsigs.? They informed me today that they have shipped united with order dates of 1/24.? Could it be that John meant that he placed his order on 1/17 rather than 2/17??
