DIGITAL FREQUENCY READOUT

MONEYSMITH
 

MAYBE I AM MISSING SOMETHING, BUT ARE ALL uBITX V4.3 RADIOS HAVE A ONE KHZ LOW READOUT. FOR EXAMPLE, IF I HAVE A STATION ON 7.150 SELECTED, IT READS OUT 7.149 FOR CLEAR RECEPTION. IS THIS NORMAL?

Hi William.

MAYBE I AM MISSING SOMETHING, BUT ARE ALL uBITX V4.3 RADIOS HAVE A ONE
KHZ LOW READOUT. FOR EXAMPLE, IF I HAVE A STATION ON 7.150 SELECTED,
IT READS OUT 7.149 FOR CLEAR RECEPTION. IS THIS NORMAL?
The short answer, maybe. (I apologize if you already know the following;
but for those who do not...)

Digital frequency readout is only as accurate as the calibration of the sending
and receiving stations. (I had a recent thread going about the Si5351
calibration.) I'm assuming you have done the recommended calibration of your
uBitx.

Even with a calibrated uBitx, there is likely to be some drift due to thermal
heating from any number of sources: the components themselves, ambient air
temperature, etc. This being said, it is probably unlikely you would see
a 1 KHz drift.

The other possibility is the sending station is "off", they may say they are
transmitting on 7.150 MHz, but in reality they are on 7.149 MHz. Without
knowing the calibration of the sending station, it is really impossible to
know for certain.

In the "good ol' days" of analog dials, you simply tuned for the best reception
and went with that. (This is one of the reasons, back then, operating near
the band edges was not recommended :-) I do it all the time with my Collins
rigs: get close with the dial and then interpolate the frequency.

My suggestion, if you are confident of your uBitx's calibration, is not to
worry about it and enjoy the contact :-)

THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS. I HAVE LEARNED TO LIVE WITH IT. I HAVE TEST THE OFFSET WITH KNOWN STATIONS

THAT ARE ON FREQUENCY AND MY DISPLAY IS ALWAYS 1 KHZ LOW FROM THE ACTUAL.  I SUPPOSE THE 1 KHZ OFFSET WORKS

FOR CW AND SSB AND MAY BE THE REASON FOR THE STRANGE THING.

Did you check the 25MHz calibration of the si5351? If that's off, everything will be.

Also, what is the box above your uBitx (the one with the display that has PWR:0 SWR: 0.00 and RF: 0.0)?

Being 1khz off is not "normal". It needs master calibration adjusted,  NOT BFO CALIBRATION. Mine is hardly ever 10 cycles off. 
MONEYSMITH
 

i must have a bad 25 mhz crystal? i will try to get closer to 25 mhz and see if that does the trick.

That looks like an Arduino Nano board, not the Raduino in a uBitx. I checked one of my spares and noted what could be taken as 20 J stamped in the crystal, though I thought the Nano was clocked at 16 mHz.I opened my second pack of three, they were stamped ZOG as far as I could tell with a bright light and magnifying lens.  That is some mighty small print.

When I checked on line the top end for the ATMega328p is 20 mHz, so it could be a 20 mHz crystal.

Here are pictures of a Raduino board with the ATMega328p Nano plugged in.
ajparent1/kb1gmx
 

Are you sure that in not the crystal for the CH340 USB to serial?

All the Nanos I have the MPU crystal is on the front (side where the atmel MEGA328P many legged chip is).

The likely cause of the 1khz offset is likely either BFO incorrectly set, or cumulative error in the math.
From memory the frequencies calculated and displayed are based on 5351 output frequencies and
would match the Zero beat frequency (if cal in correct) and do mot match the filter center channel
frequency.

Allison
Evan Hand
 

Allison is correct as usual, on further inspection, there is another crystal on the other side of the Nano board.  I can not read the stamped information on the units that I have, even worse that the CH340 crystal.

Still, not the source of the frequency offset error.

The picture you provided is the back side of an Arduino Nano board.  The crystals on this PCB
have nothing to do with the transmitting frequency of your transceiver.  The SI5351a frequency
synthesizer is a small 10-pin MSOP IC, or 20-pin QFN IC.  It should be clearly labeled on the
top as an Si5351A device.  Do you have a picture of the Raduino board with its Si5351A chip
and crystal?

look in your software and see what frequency is set for the crystal.
use a script that puts the oscillator right on a known frequency (best to use the crystal frequency)
calculate how far off it is, calculte the real crystal frequency
adjust your software.

or use the calibration method specific to the firmware you have chosen, if you aren't able to do the above.

All mine have been 3-4 kilohertz off from the crystals "stated"' frequency. Putting in the correct constant for the effective true oscillation frequency of the crystal clock is a huge step toward having accurate frequencies. Then set your BFO if needed.

This is really a short-kit and you have to apply some of your "ham-smarts" to make things work correctly.
Because you studied and passed a ham radio license exam, you're one of the few people who are enabled to make such changes to your own amateur radio gear! Take advantage and develop your knowledge and skills!!!
