I took the radio apart and painted everything except front and back panels and mounted a speaker in the top. I won't repaint the front or rear panels until all of the modding is done and there are no

Jim, > The Nano reads 3.3v when the Nano is connected to the PC by itself. > The Nano reads about half a volt on the same pin when plugged into the Raduino I assume you are putting a DVM between the 3

Jim, Other than the Si5351a chip, there are only support passive components associated with that 3.3volt pin (the Nano is a 5volt Nano for I/O and analog conversions). With that understanding, and a v

That's an interesting idea, Reed -Thanks. I don't have enough on hand, but needed to order some more anyway.

If you have enough 0.1" jumpers, you might try connecting the nano to the computer, then connect the nano to the raduino board one pin at a time (starting with ground!) until it fails. That will hopef

I finally got back in the shack this afternoon, and was able to try some things you suggested. Here is what I have found so far; (1) The Nano will connect to the PC by itself, and functions as it shou

Thanks for info 🤠

Jerry, Agree. Wasn't arguing with ya. Actually was in the process of just replying (you know, sometimes you get distractions), and I didn't catch that you answered. .. otherwise I wouldn't have. Same

Mi8ke, Congrats! I hope you have fun with it. I am amazed at what can be done with 10 watts. I have only been on the air with the BITX for a couple of weeks and I really enjoy it, I think I've only ha

Bottom line, doesn't matter, all the same chip. But it is curious: Mouser says GT gets shipped in a tube, GTR is a reel, or tape cut from a reel. They'll sell you either one in single chip quantities.

My uBitx V6 basic arrived a day earlier than estimated and I cobbled it together to check it out. It works great, even the mic works great. I haven't tried to make any contacts yet. I need to get a ca

No difference in the chip or package. suffix GTR just denotes tape and reel... for large quantities used in manufacturing / pick and place you most likely would want inventory on a reel. GT is just th

GTR means comes off a reel, you get them as cut tape. GT means they come in a tube. Makes no difference, unless you are buying thousands to put into your automatic pick-and-place machine. See page 34

What is the difference between these two chips ? Which one is preferred ?

Justin, Try one of these: When I test the .hmi program with the Nextion editor they both seem to have the direct frequency working. Note: You will need to use the Nextion LTS editor if you want to mod

Zvika - Tnx, I found the file ubitx_35B7.tft in the files section and it appears to work fine - at least the direct freq entry works fine.

#frequency #nextion #ubitxv6

Most 3.5" tft files have some bugs or missing functionality. I am not sure which is the perfect one if any, but try other program.

#frequency #nextion #ubitxv6

Added "uBitx Nextion 4.3 Inch - Enhanced" HMI file to files section

Yes, please let us know how that goes in and if it works. -Ted

I have my UBITX mounted in a case, the new tuning knob machines, and the 3.5" Nextion screen up and running (mostly) and have the auto antenna tuner ordered. Next up is poking holes in the rear panel.
