BITX QSO Night, Sunday, September 17, 7pm Local Time, 7277 kHz in North America, 7177 kHz elsewhere
I think a morning net is a great idea. More opportunity. Propagation on 40 at 7 pm has been terrible from my QTH for months and what does come in is long skip usually. The question would be when/where

Still Not Working
Wow. This is getting far more extreme than the original statement. Pistols at dawn? Really? Everybody needs to relax. The man was upset, he got over it and is working on getting it working. What more

Do you mean a whine in the van's speakers or in the BITX speaker? If the first your RF is getting into the van wiring. Makes sure the antenna is well tuned and ground the BITX to the van body. Try the

CLK0,/CLK1 - VFO/BFO
Dang. I cant seem to use the correct output number when I am writing! Argh. So, it seems that swapping the two should be ok. Meaning (may I please get this right!) use CLK0 for VFO and CLK2 for BFO. F

CLK0,/CLK1 - VFO/BFO
I'll have to look and see which Si5351 lib I'm using but I get the 12MHz out. However, do you know of any reason not to switch CLK2 for CLK1? Thanks!

3D Printer Suggestions
+1 on the Prusa. My nephew bought one and we assembled it. Works very well. He got the platform leveler upgrade recently. It has been working well for over a year now. He has done many big/long prints

Raj, Thanks. Low mic gain might be it, but I thought you should get 5W out of the simple electret mic included? And the issue is that I have to crank R136 fully over to get the 5 watts. I will short o
