I'm in theory I'm a fan of managed solutions that only involve outgoing connections to a reflector server. That way the average user does not have to get involved with opening ports through their rout

Yes, that is a good reason to use a dedicated PC, Linux machine or Raspberry Pi type machine to be the computer running your station. And put the least amount of software applications as you can on th

Hi, Audio streaming seems to be a missing element in trying to remote control your shack. Has anyone tried these for a web browser/server based remote controller solution? (These are just a few things

It is a good thing he did not accuse you of stealing his power and blaming you if his point score was not what he wanted it to be. There is a ham not quite 1/2 mile from me who likes to run a KW into

Never hurts to have an extra radio. Great for listening to two bands at the same time and the V4 works fine on several popular bands as is. Build your best radio with the V5 and still enjoy the V4 ins

Definitely a better way to organize a project. For folks still working through all this programming stuff, it is OK to let the Arduino IDE give you all the helpful things that make your success more l

Hi, I gave it a try and here is what I needed to do to get the sketch to compile. First I downloaded the code from here: https://github.com/afarhan/ubitx4 Then I unzipped the files. I happened to do t

I recently received this noise source and "reflection" bridge to do antenna testing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-RF-SWR-Reflection-Bridge-0-1-3000-MHZ-Antenna-Analyzer-VHF-UHF-VSWR/292083525131

Of maybe a drone. https://www.radioworld.com/tech-and-gear/using-drones-for-signal-measurements Tom, wb6b

Hi, I planning on using this STM32 ARM board manager. This 32 bit ARM extension for Arduino is written by actual ST Microelectronics software engineers. It looks like it is based on the same libraries

Hi, If the program you are trying to port has a traditional C main routine and it starts out by doing init stuff then finally has a while loop, like 'while(1){ --lines of code--};. Then put the stuff

Hi, This may be the Video Curt is referring to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8S3RGpRGn-w Ashhar's interesting segment starts at the 57 minute point, sandwiched between someone drinking beer and ano

Hi, Good things come to procrastinators... This KV4QB site has a lot of interesting Ham related microprocessor projects. Including adding a TFT display to a uBitx. And a cool simulated analog meter us

The previous suggestions look like good suggestions. On the antenna testing front, one low cost possibility is to use a noise generator with a cheap SDR dongle (that can do HF frequencies) and a direc

Hi, The price for the signal generator you linked, $54 is really good. I'm tempted to order one as a second signal generator (with two I don't have to worry about what leakage there might be between t

What a great looking radio. Great workmanship. I like the shape and layout of the display and control panel. How did you make the front panel. Is it made with engraved sign material? Is the box an off

I learned something new from this slideshow: Why Are Cats Positive? For a reason that was not recorded, [Ben Franklin] identified the term positive with vitreous (“cat”) electricity and negative with

Yes, that is my understanding also. Particularly the case for 40 and 80 meters. So things that don't work well when transmitting can be gotten away with for receive only antennas. Tom, wb6b

Hi, It is common wisdom that the size, or capture area, of an antenna goes hand-in-hand with its efficiency in radiating or receiving radio waves. This was just mentioned in an ARRL newsletter. A piez

Hi, Is it possible that when the uBitx is receiving through the transverter the noise level will be greatly increased. At VHF and higher most of the noise comes from the RF preamp stage (rather than f
