Jonathan, the uBITX is a delightful canvas -- it will carry and reflect your electrical and aesthetic paint. [I just made that up.] When I built my V4, I worried much about the same issues. But, rathe

Doug and Don (like the SpaceX team) have ubitx-to-ubitx via WSPR! Like Doug, my humble V4 operates 24/7 ('cept when I need it) multiband WSPR rx and tx. Here is our uBITX communal connection map... Be

I like the visual touch...hahaha.

I'm starting early just for fun. In Northern VA. If I don't hear anyone, I will try simple digital PSK31 on 7070 + 1500. Don km4udx

Mike -- sorry to be slow, but I can't figure your email. And yes I'd love this board in my uBITX!! Dontay155[@gmail.com]

If you look closely, you can notice where I cut back some of the heat sink's soft aluminum right over the toroid. Easypeasy.

Yes. Straight simple cables connecting mic to speak, and ditto for speak to mic. And +1 for Dean's observations. Or you can use the creators approach, just put your laptop near the rig, and they will

Evan is one of the best and most helpful uBITX diagnosticians in the known universe.. I too follow his posts. I read them like a master class. Don Km4udx

WSPR TX/RX 160/80/40/30/20/17/15/12/10. digital chat on 80/40/20

Yes. A few notes: 1) when I added a expensive low noise top quality high volume fan, I got paint all over the waterfall on all my favorite bands. The RF hash/noise was "substantial". It was easy to te

Dean's lovely work hints at the artist within. FYI he is a accomplished photographer with a keen eye. His Furlough 40 has great lines and a hint of elegance. I'm humbled and thrilled to note my franke

Hello! Does the V6 stock firmware enable CAT control for us digital addicts? Thanks so much as always.

Ahem -- You can take Bill Cromwell's guidance to the bank. I used a 3amp fuse, and discarded the diode. The way I figure it, every single power source in my house (and my zip code) has center pin posi

Russ, if you have rig based CAT controlling the PPT and freq change function, and it appears you do, then you are good to go. Using a cheap external USB sound card dongle may be better...but...I have

Tom -- many uBITXers have faced the same issue...digital modes...long duty cycle...heat... My approach was to hacksaw larger heatsinks from an old Pentium computer motherboard's CPU. They have a lot o

James -- there many mic recommendations. I blindly followed my (really smart) good friend's advice from Dean, KK4DAS. Buy a Uniden CB mic on Amazon. If you hack wire it like I did, you will be immedia

Okay -- that seems doable. Thank you very very much!! I did some reading on testing filters, and it just got sooooo complicated sooo quickly. So I gave up. But I kept looking at that other NanoVNA por

Here is a good (if very wordy) write up on Common Mode Chokes for antennas. http://www.k0bg.com/common.html Chokes solve the OCFD's problem of common mode current (hey, that is also "CMC") Designers o

Dave (+) - Is there a newbie friendly description of using the NanoVNA to measure a common mode choke's effectiveness? Sort of like what you did with your wicked effective LPF? I can do basic antenna

Hello! My view -- two uses: 1) software updates. 2) CAT control via USB. You have to do #1 to get #2. (Now that sounds funny...) After you do #2, you have digital modes under computer control (WSJT-X,
