uBITX Scratch Build SELF OSCILLATION HELP
#ubitx
Indra, You are able to measure it at the predriver, it doesnt mean that the oscillatiins are starting there. The easier way to know that is by turning off the power supply to each stage. - f

uBITX Scratch Build SELF OSCILLATION HELP
#ubitx
Indra, 1. Are you using a dummy load to test? 2. What is the idling current set for the PA? 3. Can you disconnect the LPF from the tx power chain and add a 50 Ohm resistor at the input and test again?

uBITX Operator KO4CVU was a winner in the 2022 Virginia QSO Party
Congrats steve, I have been running a version of FT8 on the ubitx, on and off. It is amazing what it can do.

Ok! At the moment, the decodes are pretty raw. That means, you can script it pretty much anyway. I can even send "kilroywashere" and confuse everyone. - f

Randall, The idea for now is to get a few hundred sets into the hands of hackers to start adding to the code. I am writing enough code that it has hooks that others can latch onto. Just some UI work r

It looks like there is an impedance mismatch. The 45 MHz filter needs 1500 ohms termination.

How to test ring mixer
The antuino code can be adapted to simply do this. The bigger question is, how are you going to measure the forest of outputs? You will need a frequency domain instrument like a spectrum analyzer or t
