Note I missed out a critical parameter in the Hilbert filter configuration and that is you have to put in the desired phase offset in the "Phase Add" field (i.e. +45 and -45)

This video is a followup from my earlier video on the "70 Watt" amplifier from ebay
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgiakIxMjfI&t=85s
In this video I show a board I had created using the circuit from that amplifier together with some great mods from F5NPV
https://f5npv.wordpress.com/irf530-mosfet-amplifier/
The board schematic and gerber files are here
https://github.com/thaaraak/70W-Amplifier
The bill of materials is here - let me know if you have any questions on the source of any component

Here's a link to those ferrite tubes on aliexpress

I do a shoutout to kitandparts in the video - no affiliation but they are a great source for all your toroid and binocular needs

I have been looking for an alternative to the pMod I2S board for a while and I came across the PCB Artists ES8388 board
https://pcbartists.com/products/es8388-module/esp32-es8388-audio-codec-interfacing/
I thought I'd buy a couple and share some results. Here is a datasheet for the ES8388 chip the board uses (same codec used by Espressif LyraT):
http://www.everest-semi.com/pdf/ES8388%20DS.pdf
Here's the code for the basic example
https://github.com/thaaraak/ESP32-ES8388
Here's the FIR code (including the es8388 fixes and the PCB artists board code)
https://github.com/thaaraak/ESP32-IQ
Here's an earlier video I did that describes all the ESP32 DSP FIR code in detail
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKbi1XitBvI&t=764s
I Forgot to mention that I have a couple of 4.7k pullup resistors on the boards SDA/SCL connections. I am not sure if they are needed as I have enabled internal pullups on the ESP32 side.

A viewer had asked a troubleshooting question on the QCX Amplifier. I thought I'd do a troubleshooting video that assumes you've built up the amplifier and what might be some troubleshooting steps.

In this new series I will be building and testing a low power SDR SSB Transmitter.
The schematics for the transmit mixer (work in progress) are here:
