Oh man, I’m sorry I missed this one. John sent it to me in January, but it got lost amidst all the uBITX messages. <\/b>

<\/b> I like it! It shows that I am not the only one guilty of re-purposing Benton Harbor Lunch Boxes. <\/b>

You mentioned in your last podcast recycling “Benton Harbor Lunch Boxs”. Many decades ago I talked my Junior High shop teacher into letting me build a Twoer instead of his lame project. Over the years 2 meter AM and the Twoer faded away. <\/b><\/div>\n
I recently revived a Lunchbox case for my uBitx. I added a Sotabeams CW filter that is controlled by the old T\/R knob. Down the filter is bypassed, up one is wide CW and up two is narrow CW. The green pilot light light is a CW tuning indicator. <\/b><\/div>\n
I use KD8CEC’s code which cleans up many small problems and adds a memory keyer and CAT control to the uBitx.<\/b><\/div>\n
I modded KD8CEC’s code to remove the paddle sense segment so that it only works with a straight key. This makes the keying much cleaner. <\/b><\/div>\n
First contact with the modded uBitx was this morning. With 5 watts out I got a 599 from K3Y\/7 (K7QBW) in Oregon back to me in Ohio.<\/b><\/div>\n
