Unfortunately intermittently my Win10 or a running APP does not release one of my Comm ports. Often shutting down all apps and trying again seems to resolve it. When that doesn't work try a restart of

There was an interesting trick with one of the old Mainframes I used to operate. Hop onto one of the wheeled chairs and push off with your foot so you free wheeled over to the Operator Console (Master

I was just going to say trust nothing. So USB cables had to be the next thing to hammer. Fortunately it seems it was a cabling issue. Doesn't surprise me. Now label the good cable change nothing but t

I had the same issue with my V6. I was using the stock supplied mike. The hole in my mike did not line up properly with the mike element. Peer through the mike hole using a torch to see what I mean. I

Sorry Gary. I misread your email. Ignore my comments.

Hi Gary, I flashed a spare Nano or tried to using the IDE Software with verbose ticked for the Upload option. It kept failing with a can't sync 500 error. I found I had to select the OLD BOOTLOADER op

Just a hint re the Raduino. When I tried to flash mine I kept getting 500 Sync errors. Tried other Arduino boards and MOST gave the same error message. Same when using other cables and another Compute

Thanks Evan, I will keep watching as I'm also interested in that. Regards Owen

Just some very simple tests that others have previously been posted. They worked for me. With your meter connected blow fairly hard into your microphone. Another test is to enable morse code and using

This info is just in time for my own attempts at working on Smd's. Some great tips thanks for all of them. I am thinking of making some Smd bits for my rather old Weller iron using some modified coppe

Hi Christopher, Re Serial cable length. Typical I. T. Answer I'm afraid. Given decent cable terminated correctly and decent Line driver chips 100's of metres but the higher the baud rate or speed the

Hi Dave, I grabbed a quick photo of my Ubitx v6.2. Hopefully you can work out the wiring from it if not let me know. Rather late at night here. A storm is just building up. 73 Owen

Thanks Gerard, I will try that once I get my current modulation / mike issue sorted. Evan, Can you give me the details of the Power mike you used. 73's Owen

Evan, Thanks for the rapid reply. No wonder I couldn't locate it. I have already built a 1 transistor microphone amp just didn't want to start making changes on a new radio unless I had to that will c

Hi I'm troubleshooting what I'm assuming is low modulation when transmitting Ssb. Also I get no responses from local Amateurs when requesting a verification of my signal. My Swr meter indicates low mo

Thanks Ulrich for the quick reply. I hope I have your name right. That's great news for me. I did move the receiver to a location appropriately 15 ~ metres away and had the same issue. But hopefully i

I recently followed Ashhar's excellent Video on tuning the V6. I have completed this twice. My issue is when I transmit voice on 3.5, 7, 21 or 28 Meg's into a dummy load I can receive my transmitted v

Thanks Evan, I have followed that procedure and I believe it was successful. But maybe I will do it again. I tested using Morse as well so a mike issue did not confuse the testing. Thanks for the prom

I'm using a dummy load on my Ubitx V6.1 and an Sdr as a test. The mike socket seems to be a bit sensitive to mike cable movement when I key and move the mike. I also seem to be getting very low output

Excellent Ramon, Please keep posting your progress. I have been playing with it's smaller brother Esp8266 and Arduino's for quite a while. Esp's open up quite a few possibilities. Will interference be
