One group that I belong to has sub groups in it so you still log into the same group yet there are sub categories. I do see where this would be a slight issue when a problem is across all versions but

Hi Joe, I would wait until you get the filters and then see what your SWR is. It's been a while since I've had mine on the Bird 43 looking at forward and reflected power. It was OK from what I remembe

Hi Joe, The filter set that Oliver has listed above is the one that I am using. They used to be $50 or so which in my opinion was overpriced especially compared to what they are now. I mounted mine fi

I built the 70w version of that amplifier. The instructions are pretty much just a schematic with a few mistakes on it but it's not very hard to figure out what goes where. I made some initial contact

I bought a new old stock Cobra CB mic for $5 and gutted it. I used the original switch that came with the mic and used the element that came with the uBitx kit and put a 4 pin mic connector on the cor

I use my 817 with the uBitx. I press and hold the tune button until it goes into the tune mode and then I just say “oooooooooooooo” into the microphone and watch it tune up. If you’ve never tuned that

I wanted to build a set of the basic band pass filters for field day ops and didn't have a network analyzer. I used the K4VX article from 1988 which calls for the grid dip meter. https://www.arrl.org/

Hi John, I believe that my v3 was a little lower than specified also. I did as you have done and just added 100mA additional from each pot and I closed up the case. I've made contacts all over the pla

Hi Dave, after using my uBitx for one day I did install the CEC firmware which I forgot to mention. That makes it's really easy to use and experiment with being that you can backup and restore your se

Thanks Jack! The uBitx is definitely a sleeper product. All of us on here know about it but there are so many people that do not. I made a quick sort of a raw video of my uBitx and sent it to some loc

Hi guys, last month I finished up the build on my uBitx. It's completely stock other than using some outboard filters. I decided to humor myself and for one month exclusively use only the uBitx. I hav

"Weird that your uBitx arrived with RV1, RV2, RV3 all set incorrectly. Jerry, KE7ER" Mine arrived where it was not in alignment and the bias was not properly adjusted. I couldn't tune a thing. I could

Thanks Tom. Can the output of the built in WSPR mode be turned down to some mW value? I would think that if this can be done that the heat sinks shouldn't get very warm or am I missing something?

I have a few questions related to this topic of doing digital modes. I you are running the WSPR mode with the KD8CEC software what power level do you set the radio to transmit at? I’m not in front of

Well guys, I have my uBitx v3 about where it's going to stay at least for the time being. I still may do a few things to it but at this point I'm just enjoying operating with it. Would like to get it

Thanks guys, I had sort of considered that the Bird 43 was probably not showing peak power being that it’s not capable of without the add on kit being done to the meter so that confirms my thoughts. T

I should have mentioned that my tests were on 40m

Hello everyone, I’m just curious what kind of current draw I should be seeing? Here are my readings: 166mA Idling 540mA Keyed w/no audio 1.02A with loud hello into the mic The reason I ask this is tha

Hello, I upgraded to the KD8CEC firmware last night and I really like it. I see that there is also the uBitx Manager software. Im guessing that I can backup my existing settings with this software? I’

Hi everyone. I’m up and running and the radio sounds good! I went in and did a Set Calibration and then Set BFO and all is good. Boy you can really get this thing out of whack if you’re not careful! I
