Home-brew bitx 20 version 3 of Anthonio Pagano I8PGO




Some exciting pictures of Bitx Version 3 have been sent by our friend Vittorio from Italy.
These pictures are of the home-brew bitx 20 version 3 of Anthonio
Pagano I8PGO


Anthony has effected some changes, replacing the driver 2N2219 with 2N3866 and also changing the final IRF510 with the most strong IRF624. Besides has incorporated the indicator of frequency with display.



The Bitx 20 of our friend Anthonio has a very good look and constructed in a very
planned way.


We wish you all the best with your Bitx and wish you have plenty of qso's with your
rig.

Frequency Counter [Error in PCB]




An Error has been found in the frequency counter pcb design by VU3WJM . The errror has been found in the five digit mode LSD and MSD,which have been swaped,that is the display on the left the one driven by NPN transistor should have been the LSD.

New PCB for counter will be available soon with the rectification of error. Meanwhile friends who
have already got the freq counter PCB could correct the error by swapping the FND connections going to the cathode of the 5 FND.

Our friend Jean Scott F1BGY has sent pictures of his frequency counter with the jumpers
swapped in the correct position. "Thanks Jean for the beautiful pictures of your frequency
counter."

S-Meter For Ham Radio Tcvr




The Bitx design lacks an S-meter and adding one would be great in displaying a relative signal strength. Presented here is a one transistor ultra simple S-Meter designed by F6BQU Luc

Very Interesting
our friend
Vittorio Bruni IOVBR has added this small wonder S-Meter to his
Bitx Tcvr and sent us some more pictures of his Bitx with the S-Meter installed.
Well done Vittorio! The beauty of Bitx is that we can add on circuits and see the results and get the satisfaction from the outcome.

I would request all my friends who are making the Bitx to send me some pictures of their
Bitx,it does not matter if your Bitx is still under construction.The real charm is seeing so many Hams attempting to make the Bitx Tcvr globally.
