Re: Solid-state T/R switching #ubitx

Bill Cromwell
 

Hi Ted,

Your idea is not new and there are a lot of radios that use solid state switching. You can implement QSK with electronic switching. "Semi-breakin" really means "not breakin":) I have been considering that too but in a different radio that uses a mechanical bandswitch.

You will have to consider how you are are going to select the appropriate low pass filters if you want to eliminate all of the relays. That is not meant to say nay nor to discourage you. You might keep the relays controlled by the raduino for low pass filter selections and just use the electronic switching for the T-R changeover. I may do the same thing. But it is also possible to eliminate those relays. A lot more thought and mechanical work.

In the radio I am making plans for bandswitch is already designed, built. and operational. It is not needed for the T-R function. You could just do that with your uBitX. Keep us posted.

Hello,

a soundblaster and a graphics card.
After that, I can’t remember whether a card was needed for the first CD players.
The first x86  IBM had no hard drive, 2 floppy disks. If you were lucky enough to have one, it was 5 to 10mo capacity. It took 20 minutes to format.
A word was on a floppy disk.

Hi Loris,

Those older radios also don't have layers upon layers of menus just to dim the panel lights (or LEDs). That is something else I like about those wonderful older radios. I have some that were made in the early 70s (and even much older). When the electric utilities fail they don't work or they don;t work very long. The battery operated, low power radios just keep on banging away :) I paid less than a thousand dollars for the entire collection,

This sounds like a rather good idea - a super-Radiuno board that plugs into the existing ubitx. It would then presumably also provide an easy upgrade path for pre-v6 owners too if they wanted to go that way.

I would like to see that the unit come out like your first PC's that came out, everything plugged into the motherboard, sound card, video, memory card, you only upgraded one card to improve your PC performance if one can be designed that way.  You only need to upgrade one part of the radio.

Re: Any fix for V6 first character delay?

Bill Cromwell
 

Hi Loris,

None of that was a complaint on my part. There are some simple things we can do to get better performance from the uBitX on CW. The digital modes use SSB anyway so those are not an issue at all. The original post asked about the CW problem with the original software. I told him (and any others) about the software solution. The dreadful lag (latency) is not due to any hardware design problems. The CW on my V3 was usable but not so smooth. Installing the CEC software cleaned that up for me on the V3. On the V6 it is Reed's software.

I have made some hardware changes and will make some other changes to my own V3. I wonder where we can buy one of the 'perfect', ready made radios for only $1000 these days. There are a few radios that cost more than I paid for my first house! Not something that appeals to me:)

If you have chosen a KIT you have to expect that hardware and software variants are needed to use it the way you want it, if you want a smooth rig of any kind, you can spend a thousand dollars and solve the problems.
If, on the other hand, you want a KIT for CW or other digital modes of transmission, you have to orient yourself on other products, there are several specialized ones for digital transmissions, but obviously these do not transmit in SSB ...

Hi Ashhar,
I think you have expressed yourself perfectly but, as always, everyone would like a version of hardware tailored to their specific use ... I think it is human and understandable.
Excellent idea of ​​a "super-raduino" to include many of the variants born for the various µBITX-Vx, great idea of ​​reducing costs with a more modern micro to lighten the various special uses and allow many HAMs to add variants software for their interests, in addition to the stm32 or the teensy you could also consider the new Arduino products (eg NANO-Every or similar), this would allow you to take advantage of thousands of libraries already written and tested for different LCD, TFT, specialized chips, etc.
From the hardware point of view of the main board, however, some small additions could be made, there are many suggestions that can be found in this forum, among others I would like you to study an integrated (or external mudular) version of AGC for excellent amplifiers of medium frequency used in the µBITX series, but here I too fall into personal desire.
In any case, I am delighted with your work and the work of the team of workers who assemble the KITs, and I am sure that any choice you will make for a future V7 series will be as good as the previous ones!
Best wishes for the job ...

Re: Any fix for V6 first character delay?

Hi,

I worked on a V6 for another amateur. When it arrived I found the CW completely unusable. The other ham wanted Reed's software installed and when I did that the CW latency went away. Reed's software addressed some other things, too. I think the display operates a little more smoothly too.

Farhan has stated that he is a phone operator and CW in the uBitX is 'an afterthought'. Ther is also no CW bandwidth filter. Over the years there have been other radios that had CW added as an afterthought and CW hams had to choose between making modifications or buying a different radio. The software modification is pretty easy:)

I have a V3 and I like it even with it's warts. I doubt there is a *perfect* radio.
