Re: Ultimate3s v3.12a release and CW operation
Hi Brian, I have my U3S on a 10M beacon frequency. And I use the QRP-Labs PA kit. The shaping is accomplished on the PA kit assembly. So on your U3S if you don't use that particular PA you would not

Re: BS170 amp input impedance
Allison,? in order of importance to me is the following,? 1) drive level, those SBL 1 mixers want +7dBm? 2) frequency I'd like to try reaching 2 meters, 222Mhz would be nice. 432MHz would need

Re: BS170 amp input impedance
Hi Justin. One answer is to use a Modamp as a buffer? After all the BS170 can deliver 300mW or more and the typical SBL1 will need just 10mW....or perhaps 20 or 50mW if you select one of the hi drive

My latest QCX 40 problem...
When I finished building the kit I had receiver problems, all traced to bad/cold solder joints. The transmitter appeared to be working fine, 5 watts out with 15 VDC supply. Then while further testing,

Ultimate3s v3.12a release and CW operation
I built the kit a few weeks ago and want to use it with GW3UEP's 100W PA on 630m. The last post I can find relating to CW is #18874. Ken G4APB notes that TX CW works as long as SHAPING is set to 00.

Re: BS170 amp input impedance
Justin, I can see wanting or needing the bandwidth.? FYI the bs170 will not make it to 300mhz and even 6pf at 100mhz is getting to 200 ohms. If cross talk is the concern the easiest way is multiple

Re: BS170 amp input impedance
I have considered the single gate 74 series inverters, so far the fastest one I can find only goes to 100MHz. I'd like to support the entire range of the Si5351a. so as close to 300Mhz as can be would
