Great help guys! I found this 1602 display with raduino for the ubitx v5 here. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Assembled-Raduino-Clone-1602-LCD-Si5351-VFO-CEC-Firmware-v1-200-Support-uBITX-V5-/255418822612mk

Hi Kevin, As Vic stated, the KD9CEC firmware can be used with the v6 hardware to substitute a 16x2 display for the graphics display. Not sure how much space-saving that would give without reverting to

The V5 was basically the same as the V6, but delivered with a 2-line LCD. I suspect you could use OEM software or the KD8CEC version for the V5 and have it work OK. I think electrically the main board

Gents, I have a 3d printer and I am looking to put the uBITX v6 into as small a case as I can fit it. I need help reverting back to a 1602 LCD display in order to reduce the size. Any ideas? Do I just

Stan -- thanks very much for that information -- fascinating stuff, some of which will be applicable to my chemistry students! Gordon Gibby KX4Z

Love the concepts. I am working on 3D front/rear panel replacements for the ubitx. Here is a pdf from US DoD research DSIAC on EM shielding. Several new materials mentioned, some 3D printable, but I s

I ran a test on some eBay copper tape with "conductive" adhesive. I stuck one square of the tape bottom to another square's top, making sure the edges of the tape did not touch an creating a connectio

The printed cases do weigh a surprising amount for what they are, but it's not as heavy as I'd like. I suspect rubber feet is all it needs, but we will see. I could make a spot to glue weights in the

I also still need to try coating the inside of the enclosure with copper/aluminum tape for RF-proofing. Forget that, its messy and unless you bond every layer to each other it does more harm than good

Hi, Sloped front panels have been around quite a while and they can be attractive as well as functional. Displays can be much easier to read depending on the angle of that slope. The ones you show loo

The ubitx box is just a simple box. With enough room to add more things. It was done reluctantly, as a necesaary evil to get people a simple alumininium box to which they could add more controls and s

Hi all, I got a little frustrated with the original uBitx enclosure design. No insult meant to the original designers, but it's not very visually appealing in my opinion. I looked around for 3d printa

Thanks, Doug! I had seen the case before, but not the mic. 73, Bob

Bob, I didn't design the mic case - I got it from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3044144 It uses the mic element and microswitch that were included in the uBITX kit. I printed it with

Hi Doug, Did you design the microphone case yourself? It looks great! Could you point me to the models or more info? I'm not yet great at 3D design. Thanks and 73, Bob KB1TEK

I hesitate to say that it's actually finished, as I keep thinking of stuff to add to the hardware and firmware. But the cover is on and I'm making QSOs. Previously I had only used it on CW, but I 3D p

@David, you can post your design in https://www.thingiverse.com There are some uBitx posting there already. You can just add STL file or also include design files as well.

Hadn't really thought about it, but can. Wondering what file format would be most suitable, not to mention where... .STEP files can be opened in many CAD programs, but might lose the sheet metal featu
