Multiband antenna, Tx and Rx
Great idea....where does one source the cores? I'm going to guess either Amazon or Ebay :-0

BFO calibrate (AGAIN!)
I've followed all the recommended procedures to calibrate my V6 and this is what I've arrived at: I found an AM station at 7.315 and using the Freq Calibrate function, tuned it in for clear audio and

Last effort before it is scrapped.....
OK, I'm frustrated with the V6. I'm not very technical but I've followed along for a while. My issue NOW is that I can't get the audio 'clean.' I've done the BFO tune twice and on 20m it was fair. But

uBitX assembled: bit of a challenge with alignment/bfo adj - Volume/switch knob fix

has the supply chain for the uBITX been affected by the covid-19
A little off topic but on March 9, Banggood shipped the enclosure for my uBitx V-6. On June 18th, I received it, two days after Banggood issued a credit because I was sure it was lost in shipment. So

Volume Control Knob
It isn't just the full kits, my 'stripped down' version has the same issue with the volume knob. I think someone said they filed/sanded down the back of the knob. I am still waiting for a case to arri

Shipments from China?
I ordered a case for my V6 from Banggood in March and it was supposedly shipped March 9th. Anyone know if ANYTHING is getting out of China (besides the virus....)? I have a feeling I'll never see the

ubitx v6 board only
I know, the problem is with my Windows 10 laptop's mike input. It combines earphone and mike and though I have a splitter, the mike is iffy. Will try a workaround when I get back to it.

Help with my ubitx v6 kit

uBitx V5 can't make a contact on ft8

My new V6 and what I learned from this group
K3RTA and the Group, DE K5FJR, My antenna is a 'Super Antenna" clamped to the railing of my balcony. Two radials run out and down INSIDE two gutter drains! It is not invisible but is not too obvious (

v6 lock up (one way of spelling it!!)
Dave, my V6 was doing exactly what your is when I first put power to it. Then I found out I had the encoder connected to the board and not to the arduino. You may have checked that but it was not clea

Thanks for the suggestions. As for RF leakage, I'm in a situation where my dummy load is in a different state so can't do that. I also have an issue with grounding since I'm in a condo with limited ac

Loop antennas
Vic, The V6 kit without case comes with 'templates' for front and back that are fairly thick, looks a little like plexiglass with an opaque covering. Too thick to use as the volume/on-off switch won't
