Bruce, There's nothing wrong with the V3 or even V4 that a handful of 2N5109's, a pair of shielded inductors, and a few RF-rated Axicon relays won't fix. Even out of the box on conservative power leve

Is the bitx40 still available, or long gone? I have a project in mind for one if theres a spare board or kit floating around. -ted

Yes, and you replied to my post on your QRZ page. Many thanks & best luck always, Ted

Looking for a BITX40, complete kit without case or with, but case not of interest; a special packaging project awaits. Also in market for a ME40+, 4-State QRP, or similar minimalist 2-4w VCXO QRP CW r

My largest power dip (CW) is on 30 meters, as it happens. I've been running (round figures from an ever-decreasing memory) about 10 watts on 80, 7 watts on 40, 0.6 (6/10) watts on 30, 4 watts on 20, a

Hi, Ray. Is the Raduino connected? Ted

Hi, Peter. I'm sorry for the delayed response. Please don't take it as a lack of interest in helping. I added a 22-ohm resistor to the bias resistors recommended in the case of other transistor swaps,

Hey, just for clarity, what sort of circumstance should I expect with this upgrade, that makes it suitable for the "foolhardy"? Certainly, the improvements listed would have a lot of appeal and I'm go

Is this still available? Interested... Justice will not come (to Athens) until those who are not injured are as indignant as those who are injured. Thucydides

All of the ground connections on all of the V3 through V6 boards are in common with each other and with the power negative, as with the antenna connector shield; I'm not sure how much more "earth" it

Oh, and I forgot to add (in case you weren't aware) that the HMI files are the original, editable program files that someone, somewhere, constructed for us all. The editing program is freely available

I'm sure you'll be fine. Others' experience may vary, though, I've not seen a performance difference between the enhanced and the standard; it's just not that sort of project that depends upon the scr

Steve, The Enhanced version of the few Nextion screens I've used (or destroyed) have each had a space for a memory battery, so, that's one possible indicator of which one you have. Aside from that, it

Oh, and I forgot the sound card dongle. There are dozens from which to choose; I like this one for the price and ease of hacking into, for direct soldering to the jack connections. If you want, I'll d

Evan, The CAT setting that's often spoken of is that for the FT-817; you're using the FT857 settings? Is there an advantage? Not that I care ;) just interested in the options. I'll obviously have to p

"I am able to work FT8 RX with Decode, no luck on TX yet. Still analyzing how K8DCEC build is able to do FT8." With respect, the KD8CEC firmware does not do FT8 itself, any more than it does SSB by it

This is a longshot, though the 1/8" sockets and plugs can be a little finicky, especially if a little heat gets on the terminals during wire-up. I suppose that can be so with any of them though you mi

I will second Bill's assertion. A fuse does not prevent the magic smoke from leaving your radio, though it's blowing "might" mitigate further damage if you're lucky. A fuse keeps your house or car fro

Hey, all. I have two 6-pin (RJ14) ports on the front of my portable setup, one for a microphone and one for JS8, etc. It's really simple and requires no extra parts. The data transmit audio (and the r

I'd go to kitsandparts.com and order a T200-2 torroid, then, pass your lead-in coax through it as many times as it will fit (but a minimium of 4, maybe 5, passes). This will serve to clamp down on str
