Adding AGC and S-Meter to uBITX v6

[@edkretchmer2167]

I may have missed the answer elsewhere, but is there a functional difference using through-hole components instead of SMD components? If through hole parts work, it would be very simple and inexpensive to get a PCB from those online companies that make custom PCBs based on your Gerber file.

You could do that

[@michaelalfano2998]

I was wondering about the S meter connection because the uBITX v6 schematic shows Raduino pin A7 to be GND

I believe their was a kit some time ago , and it was placed in the same area using a series's of coils mounted on a separate board and the soldering was in the same area like the one shown here As it is very interesting . I am making mine ubitx V 6 into Frankenstein home base just for fun. Its main use is for qrp most of the time however, it will have a little after burner on it but that is not why I am doing this. I like old dials and l band atns, all mounted in a full tack mount case, just to be different, that's not to say I want build coils for filters as each challenge comes a long.

Unfortunately, they no longer make the AGC board

I noticed this. I don't have the knowledge to make that myself

@@justawfulgamer7738 and the radio really needs it

[@BrokenSignal]

I would watch for these to come back in stock amateurradiokits.in/product/agc-kit-for-bitx-and-ubitx/

Would this work on a version 3 or 4? Juddie WD8WV

[@BrokenSignal]

Yes it will. Works on all versions.
