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

I finally got the case and antenna adapter for my V6 and figured out how to do the calibration (from the video). But I had the same issue, problems with getting to the set-up menu. Once I did get to i

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

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

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

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.

My V6 project is on hold for the moment but it was my understanding that the V6 BFO was pretty well set from the go. I did try to set it once but I couldn't get my laptop to respond. will be back to w

He did mention that it is the 'full kit'. That being said, I'll bet it is the same problem that I had initially with my 'un-full' kit: (I forget the terminology but) the wires from the control knob (a

I'm still waiting for an antenna adapter for my V6 but am interested in setting it up for FT8. So exactly how did you disconnect the PTT connection on the dongle? I'm not sure how the dpdt switch is c

I am using a 'Super Antenna' but it did not come with a 'random length counterpoise.' I cut two radials (it has male spade connectors on the mount for them) for 20M, where I usually am. I carefully tu

I thought the same thing about the radials BUT the antenna is doing great with them in that configuration (maybe the aluminum downspouts are working to augment the radials?) and that is what counts wh

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 (

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

I need to clarify what happened when I keyed the mike: the display jumped from B (set up with a 20m freq) to A, set up with a 40m freq. I don't know if the actual TX frequency changed but the display

My V6 started out the same way BUT I learned from an old conversation on this Group.io that I had the encoder plugged into the board rather than the arduino. There is little or nothing to indicate whe

Well, I finally wired up a power cord and an antenna adapter. From the group, I learned that I plugged the encoder into the board instead of the arduino to begin with. Then I used info from the group

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

Vic, I took a look at your setup, nice. The case you are using is the same I have on order for my V6. Any issues with it and did you use the 3D face-plate or cut your own out? I intend to try cutting

Aha! Thanks! No, I got the basic kit. I was looking at the instructions for the full kit and that is where the USB cable is mentioned. No biggie, I did get the cable minus the USB connector. I assume
