I hope it stays thru hole. I don't have much smd experience.... Marco - KG5PRT

Stuff now just can't stray TH. So you have to give! I do real well on 0603 now, and I am 71 years old. I do not do parts 402! Mike, WA6ISP

Looks nice, Juan. I suggest that CM2KMK could manage two versions , second one being with smd diode packs as originally proposed by Farhan.. It would great if the pcb is single sided and facilitates home-brewing. regards sarma vu3zmv

Nice stuff, is it single layer? I am working on a double layer layout too. - f

I expect It will be good product. because I want to have it more quickly. Thanks for it.

No reason that there couldn't be two versions of the PCB, one for SMD and one for through hole.

It would be great if the files could be posted, when finished, in both Eagle format and as a direct image that could be laser printed and toner-transferred. Looking good! Rich KC8MWG

Hi! Great looking PCB. Single sided board will go a long way in making it popular and easy to assemble. I guess the PCB is being done in Sprint layout, how about posting the .Lay file so that we all can contribute to it... 73 Rahul VU3WJM

This is very nice for a final product but for experimenting wouldn't be better to have small blocks we can interconnect. From what I see we are working with 50 Ohms input and output impedance so short runs of RG 174 will provide links between modules. Also when experimenting is more cost effective to use the special price for prototype boards (10 boards, 10X10 cm, for $10) If the layout is squeezed you can get 2 or three layouts on one 10X10 cm board. What do you think about the idea. Shall we start splitting the schematic in blocks? VA3NOI

Gang, I received an email about the ubitx from wes. He points out that the image of first LO+IF will float from 90 to 120 mhz. This is bang inside thr FM broadcast band. It could lead to some spurs. Is anyone scratch building this righway? Id like to get some real world testing done before we press the GO button for the rest. - f

A couple possible solutions if this does look like trouble: Include a scheme to add shielding at the front end for those that need it. Or go to a higher freq using the muRata PX1002 86.85mhz SAW filter, $5USD at quantity. Both mentioned in post https://groups.io/g/BITX20/message/22972

"the image of first LO+IF will float from 90 to 120 mhz. This is bang inside thr FM broadcast band."
Not only that, but it could possibly interfere with the aviation communication band. That is a definite no-no in any part of the world. Perhaps a 60-90 MHz image would be better? Or mandatory heavy shielding. In researching the TDA2822, I note that there are two versions. One, a 16 pin dip is obsolete. The current one is a 8 pin dip unit. They have different pinouts and are not interchangeable. In studying the board, there seem to be several differences between the schematic and the layout. There is an extra transistor in the AVC interface system. It is used where M1 and M2 are supposedly connected to the relay. (??) There is only one relay on the board. It appears that there is no output to the 2N2219's and final transistors; both transformers are shown as bifilar whereas one is trifilar and is the output interface. More works is needed to make this a viable board. Looks nice though. The suggestion to make modules and interconnect them is probably the way to go right now. john AD5YE

Any audio amp could be tried but it should be generally available in spares market. Perhaps for a design, better to use dip8 or soic8. This is NOT a reply for Ashhar Farhan's design. M1 and M2 are to be shorted by relay contact 3&5 of K3 as per original design.
