For 6 and 2m SSB use it is a great staring point. The power amp stages are not up to it for 2 at all but for 6 with work it can be made to work. For the RX side you need a good LNA on 6 and 2.

Agree this kit is an excellent starter but, the Uno does not have A6 & A7 ports, the Nano does have A6 & A7. Also if buying a Nano from China be aware there are two versions, the Nano V3.0 with the

I think it would be a great project. In the ‘60s I built a solid state 2M transverter and it only had 100mW output but I worked 500 miles regularly with my little Skelton slot antenna. A sad story

Just to let everyone know I have uploaded a BOM for the TH version, using Tayda Electronics as supplier. The files are still on my cloud

Forgot to mention, it's serial # 133/5 so they must be in the 5th batch now. It does have a socketed UTC audio chip. W0EB

The ubitx wants to see a low-impedance drive from the mic, comparable to a 600 ohm impedance or thereabouts. The D-104 crystal element presents a 50K ohm impedance, and the amplified D-104 presents

The Raduino has been spoken for. There may be another one available (same deal) early next week and I'll post that if it happens. Jim - W0EB

I have a never used Raduino from a Micro BITX (not a BITX40) complete with display just as it came in the box from India. $30 US plus shipping ($8.00 US, $15.00 International). Please "reply to

My ubix is still MIA ordered 26/03 no trace of it been shipped still waiting for it to be sorted out :(

I can do anything with the shear.....still waiting for the dust to settle on this overall design. Just bought a qty of NXP 2N7002P parts. 73 Kees K5BCQ

AGC and Pop fix want to be in different regions of the board, and they are both operating on low level signals. They might agree to be in the the same envelope. Perhaps have the builder nip the PC

Yes indeed. Mine must have been in there right along with yours. It made it to Romulus Michigan this morning and is now out for delivery.

Hi both, 4.7k pullup resistors fitted to Raduino board as instructed. There is now 5 volts at the encoder pins A & B, which varies 0-5-0-5-0 as the tuning knob is turned. This makes no difference, the

1K. Change one or the other, not both.

If R63=24ohm what value should R65 be?

Skip: I didn't touch R65. Changing its value changes the DC operating point at the collector of Q6. R63 has almost no effect on that, since the current is set mostly by R64 which is
