Re: PL/EU Group Buy - SN3AK - **FULL/CLOSED FOR ORDERS**
They should be 1 drain 2 source 3 gate.
Ian Watson replaced my Atmega that I thought I had killed but it turned out too be the bs170,s that smoked. I replaced them with the ones in photo and have no TX. So people get the correct bs 170,s. Its hard cleaning those 9 holes.
Now I need to do it again, I should be getting my motorbike ready for MOT.

I have BS170 with DGS pinout. And I tried changing the pin arrangement of BS270 as you said, but the output changed to 0W. What’s right?

Re: PL/EU Group Buy - SN3AK - **FULL/CLOSED FOR ORDERS**
I went through my PCB Layout and it is in deed
[1]: Drain (RF)
(2): Gate (Drive)
(3): Source (GND)
So the Pic (provided by DH2LAB) is right:
Now for the fun Part: Every newer BS170 Datasheet (on mouser) from OnSemi/Fairchild shows DSG Configuration and I was always buying them.
Only Vishay and Fairchild Datasheet from 2010 show DGS Pinout....
And yet: I got them all to work, just sticking them in like the Orientation on the PCB
Now for the really fun part:
With my component Tester I recently went through my whole stock of OnSemi/Fairchild BS170s from different lots:
All had DGS Pin-Out, so the DataSheets on mouser seems to be wrong....
In Deed very confusing

Going to start assembly today and have the same question.
Have you figured out?

Email from Adam about LT6231.
"Hi Pedro
please post the message on the forum.
I assumed that pin 1 is bottom left, when I looked on the chip from the top and see letters correctly."

Manuel,
The datasheet on Mouser contradicts itself. The header picture is wrong, if you scroll down to page 6 you can see the order codes and pinouts:
Which are all DGS and therefore look OK.

PL/EU Group Buy - SN3AK - GROUP BUY #2 IS OPEN
Ordering (google survey): https://forms.gle/zXpVc5y4fvwuZt717
Dear All!
Kits for Group #1 are shipped - thanks to all who sent me confirmations - so, it is good time to start Group #2.
Same like in Group #1, I will order kits designed by DL2MAN and PE2NNZ.
I will order PCBs with all SMT available at JLCPCB mounted + remaining parts SMT and THT included. This time I will also include 3m of copper wire.
I will also upload bootloader to Atmega 328 processor if you do not have needed Arduino board or special programmer.
There will be option to order 3D printed enclosure - check how it looks on previous posts authored by Marcus. Marcus does not commit yet, but since all of us from Group #1 are satisfied, I hope we will agree to print for Group #2 also.
Costs:
1) Complete kit: PCBs + all parts, SMD mounted by JLCPCB (exception not available parts) - 60 EUR
2) Enclosure: orange, see pictures provided by Marcus - 5 EUR
3) Cost of shipping&handling:
1-2 kits 5 EUR
3-5 kits 8 EUR
4) Please consider donation to Designers by your own. Links are on this website: https://dl2man.de/where-to-buy-trusdx/
Completion time:
around 1 month from group list completion (50 kits), which means around end of May.
LINK TO ORDER SURVEY: https://forms.gle/zXpVc5y4fvwuZt717
Due date: 17th April, 2022, 8pm CET (by Easter Sunday)
I will share my Bank Account, paypal and other information to the emails you provided in the survey.
Best regards,
Adam SN3AK

Anyone had problems after some time the rig powered?
Like stop receiving on some bands, etc.

I am pre-registered on the second list and I only want the enclosure and not the kit because I have already ordered from Up Store at AliExpress and I am waiting for delivery ,.
I can't fill in the form because you have to order at least one kit to be registered and I only want the enclosure, so how do I do it?

I remember a few hams on usdx kits replaced the 100v for 50v but maybe Manuel can give a opinion about the kind of replace.

No - Manuel has stated many times they must be 100V and C0G/NP0
e.g.
Remember: (tr)uSDX Filter Capacitors ALWAYS need to be C0G/NP0 Types, rated for at least 100V !

Faraaz is 100% right.
Using anything lower than 100V rated NP0/C0G types is a NoGo.
If you can´t substitute them with some other C0G or NP0 rated for 100V (0603 and 0805 are possible, and usually you can always substitute them)
-> then leave them out, buy them from mouser and hand solder them.
It is impossible to troubleshoot the rig if you use wrong caps. Just look at the *Rxxxx* mess....
Don´t do it....

Thanks Adam,
Got my (tr)uSDX already on the 2nd of April but was too busy. Everything looks great and I hope to finish mine over Easter. Thanks a lot for your efforts, much appreciated and well done!
