With my white beard and many decades of experience, CAG is a military officer. Obviously that is not the intent here. So please enlighten me what somebody's idea of hijacking an already useful term means in this context. 73, Bill KU8H bark less - wag more

I was disappointed that as I came the V6 seemed, to me, unusable for CW.

Re: Suggestion for the NEW UBITX V7.
My concern is that moving the assembly of the V6, etc., to obtain parts here in the USA would also require that the toroids be wound here in America. I appreciate much that the Indian women at HF Signals are winding the toiroids and are doing the assembly. I have wound single layer and trifilar toroids and while it is something I can do, it is tedious as I have had extensive eye surgery (three on left eye and five on right eye) due to double retinal detachment and cataracts. The women there are expert and professional and I am more than willing to pay for them to do it: It's one of many reasons to buy the HF Signal transceivers rather than build it here and then (possibly) go through a trouble-shooting phase. The alignment is another issue since it's ready to work out of the box and while others may see alignment as a simple task and while I could perfect the process with some time and experimentation, I'd rather just use the radio right off than go through a possible delaying process. Incidentally, I have built most of what Heathkit had in the transceiver and accessories line and such activity would be more a challenge at this point in my life than gaining a sense of accomplishment. Therefore, even if HF Signals offers a "streamlined kit" with specific parts like PC board and unique parts, I sincerely hope that kits such as the Basic Kit and Complete Kit continue to be available. I just sent my V6 to my mountain-topping son in California (N5DIM) and almost immediately ordered another Complete Kit for my personal use. Ease of use is a factor but the receiver in the V6 is hard to beat for being so sensitive and quiet. Congratulations in sharing such a unique radio with such simplicity of operation. For what it is, the V6 is unbeatable...! Kudos must also go to the women at HF Signals who are, in my opinion, top-of-the line builders/assemblers. It's almost as if the toroids were machine-made. They must have achieved their own level of quality control due to the boards are top level quality both in layout and build. Bob — KK5R

Between Hobby PCB and mouser all the parts can be easily procured. The hf signals boards cost twice what you will pay in components and pcb. It is just all the transport, soldering, testing and administration costs. Unlike qcx or xeigu, bitx radios are open with hardware and software. My idea was to encourage a number of kitchen table businesses to turn out easy to understand and build radios. I hope others take up the slack. - f On Thu, Oct 15, 2020 at 04:26 AM, Gerard wrote:

Re: Enclosures
If there are enough takers for version 6 type case we can make custom case for various sizes using displays . The enclosure we have on our website also are compatible with wiring required which is provided with accessories. We shall post details on using our enclosure for version 6 soon using existing case. Best wishes De vu3sua.

Re: uBitx v 6.1 for sale
What else are you getting rid of? I'm looking for a 40m qrp box similar to the 4-States QRP Club Cyclone-40 or the NorCal 40, if that's a correct reference.

Re: Ubitx V3 - No tx issue

Rajesh VU3RHU Check DC and RF voltages on the finals, then backwards in the signal path to see where the RF is present versus where it is missing. You can use a simple diode type RF probe to trace RF signals and a DVM to check DC voltages. Arv K7HKL

Hi, my Ubitx V3 also has no TX. Rx works fine. The unit is calibrated. Have replaced the IRF510. But still no TX. What else needs to be checked. Thanks Rajesh VU3RHU

uBitx v 6.1 for sale
Grover Cleveland <k7tp@...>
After much deliberation I have to sell some radios including my v 6.1 uBitx
This is upgraded with the 2.8" Nextion screen and the latest software in the standard black metal case. Included is the original mic that has been modified to increase the output (remove resistor, enlarge hole). Asking $175 including USPS shipping in the U.S. Other countries at cost. Paypal only. No trades please. Thanks, K7TP (write for the Paypal address please it is not the one on QRZ)

Re: memory manager/alignment

yes - see hfsignals instructions for your particular version. BTW I discovered mine is 150 Hz off now - maybe seasonal drift. great news is that for many modes it may not have much impact, except when you respond to a CW spot (we even do this in SKCC) it makes it harder to find the signal (my I still have my original first receiver HR20 -- I don't know how much it drifts but lucky to resolve 1 kHz on the dial.

Re: Yes, My homebrew µBitx now work!!
Hello Evan, Hello all
I’ve finished turning up the amplifier. I’m going to test the amp and smeter to morrow. I also ordered BFR transistors to replace the 3904 I took both CMS and TO50 box components. I will see how I can install all this. I thought to drill a hole from the diameter of the TO 50 at the level of the base and weld the legs. Better see the correspondence of the CMS and weld it on the back side of the circuit. I’ll put some pictures for you. Good weekend

memory manager/alignment
is it possible to change the display frequency through memory manager, after alignment this radio is slightly off, web sdr 7.050.000, this radio 7.049.700, I realize it's not much but still bothers me

Re: Q90

I used the single channel version of these on another project and thought they might be good for the uBITx. https://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/CM1213A-D.PDF They are small but pretty easy to solder to.
