Mounting BITX 40 SMD On Bitx3b Case

We are selling our BITX metal case in various colors, these can be used for our

bitx models like bitx3b 3c etc, these are also good for bitx 40 smd.

Explained below is the method of how you can mount the bitx 40 smd

using our bitx3b case as below.

STEP-1 

Place the bitx 40 pcb in center of the 4 holes which are actually meant for the

bitx3b boards.

Now take a marker pen with a thin and long tip, and make circles inside

the pcb mounting holes and then make new 4 holes on all the 4 mounting holes with 

a suitable drill. If you can not make holes yourself then ask a friend or seek professional help.

                                Mounting holes for BITX 40 board 

                                  Screws secure on the brass spacers

STEP-2 

In the second  step we mount the bitx40 board on the brass stands and secure them with the nuts on 

all four brass stands.

So in easy  two steps we have mounted the Bitx 40 board on the metal case for our 

bitx case.

If you do not wish to make holes on the case then there is a second option of cutting a piece

of copper board and mounting that on the bitx3b case on the pre drilled holes and after that making

4 holes for the bitx board on the copper sheet and mounting the bitx 40 board on the copper sheet with brass stand stands.

The advantage of using our case is that you get sufficient place for adding any other add on circuits

like audio mute control, agc and an extra linear amplifier.

Further we are coming out with some new models that should solve the drilling holes on the

case for bitx 40 smd.

Kindly note we are not in any way selling or servicing bitx40 smd kits.

Bitx from Russia

In our previous post about Bitx from Russia, we had mentioned Nikita building the Bitx 20 3C.

Nikita had promised to send the pictures of his completed Bitx once it was built.

So here are some word from Nikita himself on his Bitx.

" Hello my dear friend! I finished the project bitx 3c sbl-1 20 mt. As promised, I send you some photos of the finished design of the transceiver. Most likely I have mistakes, but it works, and it pleases! Now I wait for some details for multiband bitx, so I'm experimenting with a synthesizer. How I will achieve success I will give details."


Thanks Nikita you have done a great job and and completed your Bitx with lovely pictures of your

Bitx. Hope new hams will find your construction technique very useful and admirable.

Amateur Radio Kits.In Now Working

After a gap of one year our website is back with a complete working store and a download
page for all our kits and parts.

It took me some time as I thought of building the website myself as my second hobby is of making websites and blogging.

The website will be made more customer friendly in coming days.

This website was necessary as it provides us  with more flexibility in providing info, as well
as to maintain a better shopping cart as on eBay we have certain limitations.

The site is SSL secured and you need to add an https. before the domain name.

Vintage SSB/CW Bitx 20 From U.K

Let me present here my friends a Bitx SSB/CW 20  Vintage type of ssb transceiver built by our young friend

Mark Baldridge from U.K 

I shall put in Marks own word his experience with building the Bitx through an email sent to me.

"Sunil,

Attached are several pictures of my finished bitx.

Some key features are the laser cut/engraved faceplate, and the scratchbuilt CW Generator.

My "enclosure" was designed to make easy access for modification and troubleshooting. As well as to look like a vintage 1920s era homebuilt radio.

I have the entire rig running off a 6 cell lithium battery at 22V. 

Thank you so much for your help and great customer support through the build process. 

I have made contacts across the United States, and one CW contact into Canada.

Feel free to share the photos. Have a great evening!

~ Mark " 

wishing Mark the very best with his Bitx, hope we more of Bitx in different styles coming up.

Thanks mark for your great effort in putting up the Vintage Bitx.....
