Way back---I used my teeth... The insulation types available today preclude the use of a single hobby price tool. You need to develop your own method for striping the insulation for each insulation

I understand full well about how to isolate the irf510s electrically. However has anyone given any thought as to what may happen, if anything, to the RF coupling if the transistors are mounted on the

Google "TO-220 insulator kit". You can steal them from old equipment such as a computer power supply. With two of those and some heat transfer grease, you can mount the IRF510's to one grounded

Jeff - I thought that this would be fun to try to figure out, too. Did you ever do any further investigation into using the CEC software with the RadI2Cino board? John, KJ4IFO

Hi, I was successful with https://groups.io/g/BITX20/topic/ubitx_ide_errors/7715016?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,7715016 Jack is righ,t to know the file structure of arduino for

Hello Arvo, It is logical to get higher current at the lower frequencies as the gain and power level goes. But a jump from 1.2A to 4A seems too much to be explained by extra gain/power output

Hello Walter, If you can/want to use batteries that are higher than around 14V I would not recommend the RD16s. Speaking from personnel experience I managed to kill an RD16HHF1 when I forgot to

BTW, the "fix" for my blown Q13 was to lift the SMD part off the board and replace it with a standard 2N2222A with leads that I had on hand, just connecting the EBC leads to the same spots where the

Yes, I was using a 500W radio near the BitX40 and even though it was off and disconnected from an antenna, it fried Q13. So when I keyed PTT it would go into transmit but had no output. Another

Ian, thanks for the file and the explanations! all turned out well. rw9rn(@)mail(dot)ru

Mark There are quite a number of audio pop mods on ubitx.net! I have yet to rewrite the page on the pop mod, but the item here

Well kept trying and finally got it to work. Was able to get to get the cec software to load and then the original version as well. I think it was either settings in tools or maybe a bad download. But

For a backpacking radio, as I'm hoping to use my ubitx v3 for, can anyone see reasons to not move to RD16HHF1's or similar, particularly in my case for the reason that a larger passive heatsink out of

In a pinch, I have used my lighter. Quickly heat the area you want the strip to start at and then grip the wire firmly and give the insulation a pull. Kids...don't try this at home. -- Paul Mateer,

If you install the AGC kit you can just use it for the S-meter. Just tap off the first pin where the several jumper pins are for the delay. Works fine.

I'd keep any radio under 2:1 for extended period of time. I also abuse that often so far no fried finals. However I did some testing today and the cable was on the floor so for 5 minutes RF now

Lovely newsletter and thanks for the encouraging review. Are the earlier newsletters online as well? Seems to be a very interesting journal. 73, f

It seems like last week when I downloaded 1.8.4. I had the same issue before that. Howard
