Re: GPS behaviour very inconsistent
Ha ha ha - LCD? I hadn't thought of that. Might be better off ordering
another kit and be done with it.
:)
I'll wait for the update in the software and order then. The old UQRSS1 has

Re: U1 kit - low Freq
Hmmmm.... Revisiting the board layout, apparently someone in this group (who shall remain nameless, with aging eyes) does not know the difference between a 3 and a 5. Wonder what happens when you

Will try the C5 removal. Thanks gents. Did you leave C4 as 22 pf or 18?

Ooops, sorry to hear that Tony :-( I have to admit to having done that
before myself, too...
I hope you didn't fry the LCD... I mean, at least one of three things could
be fried: DDS, chip,

Thanks Hans.
I wasn't worried, because I know how dedicated you are to supporting these
kits Hans. They are brilliant fun for what they cost. I need a new AVR

Re: U1 kit - low Freq
I had that trouble and in the end I just left out the capacitor that was in
parallel with the trimmer. This allowed me to move a lot higher, even
though the tuning was made a bit more sensitive. I

Re: GPS behaviour very inconsistent
Tony, Barry,
I agree, the GPS is not faulty. The U2 kit does appear to be a lot more
fussy about what GPS modules it will work with. Don't worry. This weekend I
will have a bit of time, and I will

Re: U1 kit - low Freq
IIRC you remove C5.
Me and Tony G0BZB did that and now we can tune both the QRSS and WSPR
segments.

Re: GPS behaviour very inconsistent
Good news Barry. Delighted your new GPS works with the new kit.
However, there is nothing wrong with the EM-406A. I've had one working with
the UQRSS1 for about ten months, day in day out 24/7. It is

U1 kit - low Freq
Finally got around to fixing my dead U1 kit. Seems to be working fine except for low freq. Did the C4,5 cap change to 18pF from 22pF. Didn't seem to move it much. Highest I can get it is 10139.5 Will

Re: GPS behaviour very inconsistent
Afternoon All
For several weeks, I've been struggling to get my U2 kit working with a EM-406A GPS module. The problem seems to be with the 1pps signal. as the NEMA data is read correctly.

Re: U2 and automatic frequency stabilisation
I ran my UQ1 in a shabby poystyrene box 24/7 for ten months on 10.140 and
it sat there like a rock. Looked rubbish; was rubbish, but it did a good
job.

Re: U2 and automatic frequency stabilisation
Thanks Hans.
It seems that although my new boxed unit is very pretty, it's rubbish as an oven as it drifted all over the place last night as the shack cooled down.

Re: Ultimate2 statistics

I grew curious as to why two shipments of Ultimate kits might show a difference of more than a month in delivery time to the US. So I retrieved both packages from the basement and compared

Hans,
Yes, your records are correct. It does seem strange, particularly because I usually receive one or two packages of electronic parts from out of the country each month. The previous Ultimate

Re: U2 and automatic frequency stabilisation
Hi Keith
I'll check it ASAP!
The weekend is coming up! Just one more day! Means being able to stop
wasting time in the office, and spend it worthily in the radio room (and
with XYL).

U2 and automatic frequency stabilisation
All (specifically Hans),
I've found what I think is a problem with the frequency stabilisation routine in the U2.
The manual says:

Hi Keith
I'm glad it's working Ok.
If I had a pound for every time a project worked fine outside the box, and
stopped working when I boxed it all up neatly. Actually it happened with my
