That’s the spirit! I like how Peter M0HYT took the uBITX schematic and built his own, his way. When you build the rig yourself, if problems arise (spurs, harmonics getting past filters) you are in a much better position to fix the problem. I’m afraid that sometimes those buying an already-assembled board just feel aggrieved if the purchased item is not fully within specs. <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

M0HYT posted this to the BITX20 group (this past summer): <\/i><\/b><\/span>

<\/b><\/span> I have just built a uBITX with standard components (no SMD’s) from scratch on a PCB I designed – it works well. I have now designed another PCB which incorporates the Arduino NANO and the the Si5351 shield and I’m just waiting for the PCB’s to arrive and then I will start assembling. I made some changes to the circuit to allow for a dynamic microphone and the use of screened TOKO cols for the 30MHz lowpass filter, I also changed the coupling arrangement to the 45MHz filter.<\/span>

I have attached a picture of the original PCB and a PDF of the new layout incorporating the Arduino and Si5351<\/span>

Maybe one day I will play with SMT but for now standard components are still easily available !<\/span>
