Hi Hank, There hasn’t been anybody posting anything here, that’s why you’re not hearing anything from the group. It’s been pretty quiet around here. Maybe if Steve comes out with a 40 meter

Maybe my arrl.org e-mail has some glitch and is sending messages from this list into the bit bucket, but I haven't received a message from it for over a month. I do get messages from other groups.io

Finally finished it.  It took a while to get this one done...   https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2983769 -- John Sutter W1JDS CM87xi

Kevin, this actually was my first attempt at serious metal working. I got three tools that helped with the project: A small metal brake and sheet metal sheers from Harbor Freight, and a nibbler from

Nicely done! Would you consider a "Here's How I Built My Enclosure" posting? I've really no idea how to go about creating such a nice case. I could get access to a maker space, but lacking an

Not only is it alive, I finally finished the enclosure. And yes, the speaker did get louder after I closed the box.

I can understand why 6m may not be the best option from a marketing point of view. It would be nice to have it as an option in terms of the layout though. ie optional receive preamp and triple tune tx

Either way please do more. If it not the band I want I can move it. However thinking on 6M. A6M unit while on first appearances appears easy, don't sell it as I really don't think you would get

If the IF is high enough say 11mhz its not too bad. Fundamentally the basic radio will work there. The only question in my mind is if the 4053 switch will work with a LO of about 40mhz. Staying

No, 6 Meters is a can of worms. The main problem is making a PA which doesn’t use a wicked expensive mosfet and getting enough drive. Spurs might be an issue too. It can be difficult to filter out

Is 6m a possibility with the slop bucket architecture (with some transistor changes)? Though presume it may need a new rf amp at the front end - Steve are you considering any updates to the layout or

some day 10M will be fully back. In the mean time I work intermittent DX there. One for ten maybe... Allison

40m please! Allison

Steve, LOL.. yeah, I was catching up on emails. After I sent this one I went back to my unopened emails and noticed one from you saying they were all gone. No worries! Doesn't dampen the fun at

Sorry, all gone now. Steve Steve, I'll take one. Mike, N5BGZ

Jerry, Here is the link to the mod. http://www.nd6t.com/bitx/bitx60.htm You would only have to add the three 100pf BPF caps and change your VFO frequency, no chips involved unless you want to. I used

Thanks Joel I will have to check it out, my bitx40 is more of a on the shelf or table, while i think the slopbucket begs to be taken portable. And right now my bitx 40 has an analogue vfo, I am

Jerry, The Bitx40 has a drop dead simple 60 meter option that works great. For 49 bucks you cant beat it. Joel N6ALT

Consider 60 meters i have nothing for 60 spozed to be good for nvis Could be good for local portable disaster communication maybe as an option for a 40 meter kit (or maybe a 75 meter one) its mostly a
