Ok, First of all, sorry for not being able to post anything any sooner....
My private life has let me to believe that spare time for hobbies is a non existing thing.
although 1 weekend, i must admit, I went on a field day.. it was the last nice weekend, and i went "field-daying" saturday and sunday... i even got sunburned.... But ill write about that later...
Back to business, the BITX20....
I already build the RF amplifier section but i still needed to perform the basic tests for all sections...
First i have to say that the English manual is not bad at all.... but when it came to measuring things, it became a bit lean.... It started to talk about applying voltages etc etc and i had no idea what was meant or what i should do... As later on in the manual you need to do way more complicated tests i decided to keep on fiddeling until i understood what the #$@% they were talking about...
You can imagine that when after 2 hours of reading over and over, looking at schematics, mood ruined, i was really happy to figure out how to do what they meant. Probably the manual is not bad, but as the explanation could have been a bit better for the fist meassurment.
Anyway, i started to perform the first tests....
Multimeter 1.... battery empty.... @#$#$
Multimeter 2.... battery nearly dead which caused wrong readings....
Both replaced, so i am good from now on with betteries... :)
Test lead.... a new one.... busted..... that explaned the 0.00mA ....@#$@#$
Anyway , after fixing all, i finally got all the meassurments correct.... and guess what.... they were good!!! :)
So... on to the next section.... VFO section here i come !!
