According to the WB5RVZ website -- Revisions 1/31/2013 C24 and C26 should be 180pf instead of 150pf, but the RF/Switching parts list still shows 150pf. He...
Never mind, I'm building the 30/20/17 and the revision is for the one covering 40m. I'm still wondering about the missing 180pf capacitor. How else could it be...
After taking some close-up photos of some suspect capacitors I found my missing 180pf capacitor. I had labeled it 110pf but upon close-up exam from my camera...
Hi Mike, The capacitor marked 181J is 180pF where for the 40m/30m/20m build of the kit C24 and C26 should be 180pF. The two capacitors marked 82J are 82pF ...
Thans all guys for your help and support. When I have these kind of problems, I usually stop for a while, and will tackle it later. It is very easy for me to...
Hi to all. I am a longtime SWL, and new to this group. I've just ordered a built Soft Rock RX Ensemble II HF receiver from fivedash.com. I will have to...
Hi All, I have posted a few pictures of a modified SoftRock Ensemble RXTX in the photo section. The folder is entitled " GM3SBC QRO Modifications ". Several...
Excellent Job Ed! You stuck with your criteria of not having to hack up the existing structure much. The forced air cooling is a great idea for squeezing all...
“Off the bat” may well come from cricket, but I seem to recall reading somewhere (in the works of Jane Austen?) there is a reference to the game of “base...
That's a good suggestion John. I have been matching BS170's for the mod and out of 15 I found 5 that are as near as damnit 3.13V. The spread is from 3.13V -...
... to recall reading somewhere (in the works of Jane Austen?) there is a reference to the game of “base ball” being well established in 18th century...
Mike: You are not the first to get bit by the poor quality markings on these caps. That 8 can look awfully like a 1, as in this picture from the bill of...
Perhaps the french Cricket should be pronounced "Crick-AY" ... -- Cheers, Robby Richard R. (Robby) Robson LTC USA (RET) www.wb5rvz.com www.wb5rvz.org ...
No. Croquet is a very different game. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croquet (I believe this game is also played in the US). For a discussion of cricket, see...
On Windows 8, I just installed HDSDR and my RXTX works perfectly. No issues. I am receive only at the moment. The URL that Alan included below will make it...
... That's what we used to call French cricket. :) Not sure how it got the name, given it's not what's played in France by the sounds of it! :) -- 73 de Tony...
I must be dense, but where are the drawing on http://www.wb5rvz.org/ensemble_rxtx/07_opamp that show the location of the surface mount caps.. something must...
... 15/02/2013 17:22 In the RX Opamps section click on "Board Layouts". In the TX Opamps they are just there, with no clicking. -- Best Regards, Chris Wilson....
Sorry about that. I was experimenting with code to hide/show sections of the pages and that stage of the build was my guinea pig. I goofed and uploaded it to...
I realized that I had mistakenly installed R19, the EW instead of NS. I broke the resistor getting it out but had no problem clearing the solder from the...
I just got the receiver going on my 30/20/17 Ensemble RxTx. BUT BUT The SI570 is driving me crazy. I couldn't find the 30m band so I started dialing around on...
... Subject: [softrock40] SI570 Question ... It seems as if what you see is normal. There will always be harmonics of the Si570 signal. So 3 x 2.34 = 7.02 and...
I had the same divide by 3 instead of 4 on my Softrock RXTX 6.3. At a certain frequency (around about 6 MHz) the division jumped from 3 to 4 (or 4 to 3...

John, Interesting fault. But this "fault" is multiply by 3. It happens because we are dealing with square waves and has been reffered to as "sub harmonic" ...
Not sure after reading this again how it's possible since R63 was mounted in an earlier stage. Ill see if I can find another 10k resistor of the right...
