We all love our uBITX. Did you know the uBITX makes a wicked good digital mode beacon station using WSJT-X's cool beacon mode called WSPR? Well it does. We have a uBITX tied for 4th place in world-wid

Hi, Good things come to procrastinators... This KV4QB site has a lot of interesting Ham related microprocessor projects. Including adding a TFT display to a uBitx. And a cool simulated analog meter us

Hi Vince, Wayne... It's based on work done by DuWayne KV4QB - http://kv4qb.blogspot.com/search?q=power+dummy I have a few spare boards if you are interested... / Gerry

Looking at two pictures, it looks to be a NANO with a TFT, maybe touch screen? Interesting, being as I just received two NANOs, though planned to use one to make a clone of a raduino. Maybe both, in t

Thanks for all the good info folks. Many good suggestions. Will be getting into those in the next couple of weeks. sodypop

The major difference between the Mini DL and the one shown in the Nov. 2018 QST is the use of an RF power resistor (ebay 401311455234) and a 4" heat sink.(Amazon B07D9ZTTN2). The change makes it easie

"I've seen pigs fly, but the day they put a microprocessor in dummy load..." I thought it was joke picture until I saw the power display, and, um, on second thought, I'll get in line to buy that.

Coming soon to a theater near you... Good up to 70W for 10 seconds; QRP levels 'til the cows come home. Cost: About $20. Jack, W8TEE

Hey Dennis, glad to be of encouragement. The ham fests usually do have useful some bits and pieces - just make a list and take it with you, because you will get distracted by all the awesome boat anch

Dennis check out QRPGUYS for some antenna ideas. they have a tuner for an end few halfwave antenna, a 3 band vertical matching unit, and other antennas there. I imagine you can stash a good antenna th

Thanks masch57. Just what I wanted to hear. Working slowly on my V4, and right now i need to find some knobs. Any suggestions appreciated. Then it’s on to some sort of end fed, single wire, antenna. G

Glad you are propagating and having fun. No I won't discourage you from improving your antenna, the spurs, and anything else. Nice parody! Possibly your gutter system is the radiator and the wire is t

Thank you for the kind words :) ! Also actually having the AGC on is usually detrimental to to Digital mode operations. Specially where they operate well below the noise floor! it can cause some weird

Thanks Tim, it is one of yours and I do have faith that you guys will get it figured out for the v4. In the meantime, it's just "functionality waiting to be unlocked", and WSJT-X is quite forgiving in

masch57, If you happen to be using a Kit-Projects AGC we are working on a fix for it. Yes it has to do with the low audio but not in the fashion you would think. We are awaiting some extra tests to fi

I started putting together my uBitx (v4) months ago. I added a better volume pot, CEC firmware, a Nextion display, and an AGC board. I put it in one those blue metal cases from Amazon stole some knobs

Update after using the uBitx for about 2 weeks: Listening to SSB voice was possible for strong signals after setting IF shift to 3000 (CEC firmware) 1) interference from the KGO AM station is now gone
