Sounds like you are preparing to clone the intellectual property of the original designer? This is problematic because many clone sellers try to say the original designer is responsible for maintenanc

Jeremy To the best of my knowledge, Farhan has not sold bare PC boards for the uBITX series. Earlier BITX series transceiver can be purchased in bare board, or board-plus-parts kits. Some of these are

Linear Amp Idea
RST signal reporting (Readability, Strength, and Tone) are not the same as S-unit power levels. RST reports are subjective, while if the receive station has AGC enabled, the level of his/her received

Andrew You probably know that there are two different types of USB cable. Some only have the DC power leads and are used for charging downstream devices. Others include the two data leads and are used

Bitx40 High volume oscillations

Jon A couple things to look for. Weak power supply (i.e. wallwart). The rig needs a solid 12 volts at 3 or more amperes to service both receive and transmit modes. Ground loops can cause oscillation i

Jerry By April of next year we should have an AI system front end for LTSpice. We just tell it what the end result should be and it uses Spice technique to design the ultimate transceiver! Google's "T

Raj I guess the point thus far is that just doubling the supply voltage to the finals does not support any significant increase in power. Later today I will be adjusting the idling current to the fina

Screen no longer boots—only blue grey now
Examples in the arduino IDE can be used to make sure the LCD screen is good or bad. For a 1602 LCD just make a short program that writes your name on line one and callsign on the second line. If this

John Maybe fun and educational, but can also be frustrating until you know exactly why the capacitor failed. Not knowing that may cause a feeling of foreboding because the problem could happen again.

It is not normal for a crystal filter to pass audio. The wording in instructions may be a bit misleading (terminology in India is slightly different from terminology in other places). If you insert ra
