Have you got a update to this new unit . also would you be willing to make the filters for 2m also?? I like the work you have done but you dont have the making for the filter boards and what you used for a amp... I am looking to get a 6m setup if you have them or the updated gerber and a case you use ...

hey Charudatt,
?
I have clean simple 6 meter code you might want to look at...
?
writen on the raspi pico and a sh1107 1.3 oled.? it has alot to it . contact me a n4cnr.ham@... I figure if we team up and make bot a 2m and 6 meter set of kits we can make this a great project. I have started working on a vfo board.?? ?
I also have rit on a encoder working ... I have alot of functionality to explain
?

This code will also work on the raspi pico, went to a fast mcu for better perfomance,
?
the virtual machine ie there for develoment.
?
|
so I have 2m and 6m code emulations , I have to add in memory storage , but I figure I would share what I have done. its more basic as mine will be for sota/pota and I dont seen the need for alot.?

any new updates did you finish you amp circuit ?? btw out new code I am almost done with is si5351 based and circuitpython. it should be finished this week ,the current code works but have not had a scope to test the si5351 wav with
?
|
when you get closer pls show as I am reviewing this further for 6m and 2m? ..
?
|
what vfo code you going to use as a base? or are you writing new code...
I am working on a rpi pico src based on what farhan started but its going?to take time to grow correctly . I know the kd8cec firmware is ported to other boards but the work to rm 10-80m and all the relays and filters is going to be a issue . also have to decide?on what screen is best I need 2.9 or higher as my eye are going bad slowly.?
I have a git hub?of what I have done thus far posted and I am working on more and trying to fix the si570 ino file?

can you point to the si570 chip you use and where to buy ? as everywhere I look no one sels less then 50 at time...

Yes surely, I can release the Gerber. There are a few breakout board used in this project, so will need to add them in the panel and then release the Gerber.
Please give me a day or two to make the panel and then share it with you'll.

BITX24 Details Farhan designed/presented a BITX23, 6M SSB in his QSP issue of 2023 and I designed mine in 2024 hence I called it BITX24. ? This idea of my BITX24 was a result of studying 2 designs on the topic , viz Farhan and by Chrix found on YouTube. Both , built on the principals of BITX principal. ? During my earlier development on sBITX, I had already made some Break Out Boards (BoB) based on the uBITX TIA block which I plan to use in this project, hence you see some blocks in my schematic. I have had blocks for a Ladder Filter, Rx/Tx TIA, and a DRM (Diode Ring Mixer). These blocks are no specific design but adapted directly from the uBITX design. ? Signal Source (Si5351) design is external and connected to this board via SMA Connector. ? Using of Blocks has made this design more compact , in my opinion. ? This is just the Exciter Board and the front end BPF/LPF can be adapted from either of their designs. ? I planned to use MAX9814 MIC amp with AGC but then simply copied Farhan's MIC amp as a standby on the PCB. ? Choice of LADDER filter is yours and I would go with Chrix's idea. ? regards Charudatt VU2UPX

I have drafted a board. Shall post details soon.

I wish he would make the board and put it on the market for others to dev software. need board aand the si570/raspi pico duino interface board,

I would love to make a 2M rig. That band is pretty busy around here.?

I will upload the kicad files this weekend..
also there would be a few mods needed help with like changing the mosfet to the rd15 and adding a power adjust?pot so you can go low 1w to 20w , also for ssb need a mic gain circut?for better output with some mics.
other parts to add in future would be a alc att sql if shift. but those can be added in future
