split the group
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

Inexpensive eBay Amplifier Kits
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

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

LDG Z-817 autotuner
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

Winding toroids
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

One Month With The uBitx
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

uBitx Software Update
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?

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
