One of my club members has a similar situation and he strung a 20M dipole down a hallway and held it in place with thumbtacks. He admits it's not the best setup, but the only one he can manage and he

Unfortunately I would have to bribe the maintenance guy to climb up and then drill a hole in the wall, which is possible. But the coax being tacked up will draw attention. You guys don’t have to

Chris,
I also would recommend a half wave end fed. The QRP Guys https://qrpguys.com/qrpguys-end-fed-wire-antenna is the perfect comb for your uBitx, all you need is some cheap wire. I have found cheap

Re: ubitx v6 now help...
The v6 is supplied from HF-Signals already calibrated (as has been stated by Ashar Farhan), so unless anything has gone wrong, you do not need to calibrate it, even after loading for example the CEC

many options exist for low cost, homemade antennas. yes cheap thin wire as others suggest. an effective small antenna takes some effort so be patient, especially in this time of solar flux. a

Andy,
To be clear, The CEC software from HamsKey.com (KD8CEC) does not work with the version 6 (v6) display. The v6 driver software required takes up a significant portion of the available program

Hi,
Just use very thin wire for outside. That will probably deter theft. I've even used a single strand from an old ethernet cable (there are 8 strands inside). You can solder pieces together if it

Hi,
I assumed you had the radio in SSB mode, but maybe Dave is correct? How do SSB signals sound on the radio? Good and similar to other SSB radios?
The BFO is not for setting the correct

Use a steel wire rather than copper.
a half wave end fed would be 64-65 feet for 7mhz and higher frequencies. 33 feet if you want 14mhz and above. if you are up high enough you might let it drape

If you have a balcony you might be able to get away with using HAMstick radiators (ie a different one for each band). I used to use a modified CB mag mount antenna on 15 M back when solar

I have a uBitX v6 and have updated it with a Nextion 2.8" display, I use the 1.200 version of the KD8CEC software and Manager Version 1.11 which work well together.
I have also added a second Arduino

Depends how aggressive you want to be. Organize a high voltage to the dipole (both legs unless balun-isolated), switchable instead of the rig while not in use. A few kV should do enough damage to

The CEC software allows calibrating the S-Meter through the Memory manager when using a simple amplifier circuit, and I did adjust mine until it generally agreed with another commercial receiver.

Too bad you live in a place where wire will be stolen.
The big issue I has when I used my deck railing to support a stealth antenna was all the noise from the electronics in my house. A Gell cell

Re: query re Memory Manager & CEC mentioned in many posts

If we use old raduino with 16*2 perhaps the memory manager works. With graphicdisplay implemented by Farhan, I wonder whether CEC manager works unless he make up a new version for it.

Re: uBitx v6 Microphone

Ja dat deed ik, maar misschien moet ik het opnieuw doen. Het klinkt als een hoge toon. Door te zenden op verschillende frequenties, laat mijn yupiteru-ontvanger zien dat de zendfrequentie correct is.
