Thanks Jim! Where were you three weeks ago? :) My experience exactly. Your straightforward post will really assist new builders, Dean KK4DAS

Symptom: SSB audio is unreadable. When tuning the VFO, SSB signals are heard "off-frequency" then the audio "goes away" as the frequency gets closer to the correct frequency. Solution: Perform the BFO

So there is a early draft users guide in the folders section with the following calibration steps. There may be better instructions in some other guide. I am way too lazy to do a complete search. User

The fact that you have to turn into a higher frequency indicates the internals of the microbitX may be at too lower frequency but you will figure it out. Try anything, it will either get better or wor

Dear Mr. Gordon Libby. It pains me to say this, and I hate to admit it publicly, but you are exactly correct. Hahahah Neverthelss, I for one, will take (and give) all the help I can get. My noggin is

Q: I did tune to 10.000 - no tone. The tone is on 10.002.100 on my radio. So first step - what do I change to get the frequency to display accurately? A: when you tune to 10.002.1 you hear a signal on

Well guys, this is going to give you a good chance to begin to understand more and more about Radio! If you don’t hear the tone until you are tuned 2kHz off, then yes your radio is a fair bit out of c

Hi Don - That is a helpful explanation. I can definitely do the incremental trial and error method - just requires patience - but I also want to understand what I am doing. I read Dan W3BU's post - bu

Hi Gordon, Thanks for the note. Apologies for being dense. I did tune to 10.000 - no tone. The tone is on 10.002.100 on my radio. So first step - what do I change to get the frequency to display accur

​I just tune it. With my hand. had to do the exact same thing for an ICOM 725 recently. It is more complicated because there are TWO different frequency sources in the unit, so you have to first figur

#calibration #ssb

Gordon, when you do this, do you have the uBITX under cat control so the uBTIX freq is controlled by and shown on the fldigi (for example) waterfall?

#calibration #ssb

​All I do is tune to 10.00000000000 and then see what their TONES are. should be 500 Hz or 600 Hz. ANY waterfall will measure those very very very accurately. FLDIGI, anythng. Then calculalte the corr

Yes, I'm sorry the calibration and BFO process is such a muddle. Others here can help more, I'm sure. In summary, all the various procedures and descriptions boil down to going into setup mode, adjust

Dean asked: "Is there a straightforward guide to follow?" Yes please! I second that question! Neil K1NBT

Hi - Just completed my ubitx 5 build and it passed the first power on test (yay!). The controls appear to work as intended. CW sounds pretty good to my years. SSB phone audio is garbled and difficult

Thanks! That solves the (more or less) final issue I have with the radio that I'd take the time to deal with - exactly what I needed and wanted to know! I don't think I'm going to change the firmware,

The mod for improving the "galloping VFO' is described here: https://dcasler.com/2017/03/17/bitx-40-fix-for-galloping-vfo/ Again, I really recommend uploading Allard's sketch, too. It really improves

That third possibility of disabling the encoder with a switch is not so good, as it would prevent the use of RIT to adjust the receiver while locking the transmitter.
