I have had this problem with another bowfung (?sp) microphone. I wanted a speaker/mike for my handheld 2-meter radio. I purchased one and was told that the audio was very bad. I purchased a Kenwood mi

5V is probably normal: half a 10Vsupply via a (typically 2k2) resistor.

Disassemble the mic, lift the capsule out of its molding and ensure the path to the front is not blocked by a film of plastic ('flashing'), a frequent artifact of the injection-molding process. The Ma

My V6 at 13volts draws 400ma.

Ashhar, this video - and the BFO tool online - are really excellent. Question: I have a v5 to build. Couldn't I use the online BFO alignment tool with the v5 as well? There would seem to be no essenti

I do not have a V6 board right now. Perhaps it would be best for someone who has the V6 board to give you the numbers. All I know is that the small 2.8" display does not require a lot of current to ru

Thanks that is exactly what I wanted.

Thanks! That's' good to know. 73 de N4GIX - Bill

In the uBITX V6, those resistors are already on the board next to the CW key jack and the 4.7K pullup resistor is located on the V6 Raduino PCB behind the mounted TFT Color display. You do not need to

I also did not get the resistors, nor were they on the checked parts list.

I have the same problem. The microphone is not a good design. When this mike is used on their own radios people complain about the lousy audio.

I never got any resistors in my bag of goodies for the v6 I received. Fortunately I have no plans to use CW. I've long ago forgotten most of the code since passing my General way back when... ;) Bill

Hi, I was testing output power and I noticed that there was some issues with my microphone. I only could get output power (10watts un 40 meters) when I blow directly to the hole of the baofeng microph

Yes!! I just watched It yesterday and I think I finally calibrated It. Thanks

yes indeed its unusual but pins are scarce on the nano. if you only employ one connector you can set it up for straight key or paddle. some folk set up for straight key (if they use one or an external

I would like to be able to key an external amplifier. I wonder if I could use the"XMIT" signal which appears to be positive going to bias a switching transistor to activate a relay. Suggestions are gr

Yes Ralph, there should have been three extra resistors included with your kit for that purpose. Although unless we carefully read all the information on the HF signal website we can miss that. The ke

Yes.

Thanks for the quick reply, Jack. Is 0.12A just the 2.8" LCD current or the total nominal receive current? I would like to know the total RX current of a V6 with the standard 2.8" display. Bob WB8BEL
