v2 hardware changes from model shipped on 4-17-23 and birdies on receive
hello
I got a v2 model from a ham that was bought on 4-17-23 built..I am curious if any hardware changes were done to the v2 for the hamvention release..Mine seems to have a lot of birdies in the receiver across all bands regardless of different antennas tried..did the swr bridge calibration and rf calibration..any ideas or suggestions? |
The sbitx does have spurs but they are all well below the band noise (when the antenna is connected). If you have spurs, you might want to check with a different power supply. There are no hardware changes at all to any sbitx v2. - f On Sat, Jun 17, 2023, 6:25 PM <stevegrass8@...> wrote: hello |

Well, there was the change to the location of the threaded inserts for the PA transistor heatsink, correct?

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýAre you seeing this with a dummy load attached? I've noticed also that occasionally I get a bunch of garbage due to the IC2 bus not properly initiating.? A shutdown/reboot fixes that. If you are using an antenna, DON'T use a simple whip or wire attached directly to the sBitx.? It will do nothing except pickup local noise. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2023-06-17 08:55, stevegrass8@... wrote:

I had and still have on the DE version any frequency xxxx50.00khz (all bands) or so
depending on sideband.? Never found a solution.? Between birds RX was fine. Still there after many mods including removing the switch mode 5V power for analog one. -- Allison ------------------ Please use the forum, offline and private will go to bit bucket. |
