Re: Hardware / software wish list
Roger,
Interesting. I use a FT-817 or 857 but haven't used them on 6 meters with the ATU-100. I will have to keep that in mind. I also have a LDG-Z11 Pro. I will have to see what mix is used in that

Re: Hardware / software wish list
Hi Paul,
Using a capacitance meter I think at least one of my Caps has gone.? I've got some high voltages ones, so will try them.
Looking at commercial tuners, for the bottom 3 bits, they often use 2

Re: Hardware / software wish list
Hi Mike,
I tend to tune at 5W (the default value from Icom when you push the tune button).? I was testing with 10W of FM, but the inductors were overheating at 50MHz (which is why I'm looking at the

Re: Hardware / software wish list
Good idea on themica capacitor replacement. What power were you tuning and operating at? I tune with max 20 watts and operate at 50 watts. I derate all of my tunersby 50%.

alc output
is there a way to get a command signal from the atu when tuning to use the radios alc to tx on low power when tuning?,i am thinking for an old yaesu ft-707.

Re: Hardware / software wish list
how about one half of a bias-T onboard as well,that would be handy.

i think changing the caps for decent rated silver mica as on 3 of my atu-100 various caps let magic smoke out.

bigger oled
is there a oled display bigger than 1.25"? that can be driven by the atu-100 pic,if so what model number do i look for?,thanks in advance.

Re: Remote control.
Roger,
as the serial is done with bit-banging, it's easy to send the inverted signal to an output pin. There's no need to use CLC block or any other microcontroller's peripheral.
Proper differential

Re: Remote control.
Hello Harald,
glad its working.
There are some TTL<->485 interface boards with automatic data direction control.
But you're right, if one wants to use a simple EIA-485 receiver/driver like a

Re: Erratic behavior when mounted close to a random wire antenna
Thanks lot David!
I'll do that: use o longer cable between the antenna and the tunner.
I did not mention, but a counter pole, and also a big ground plane (that is
a part of the building ) is

Re: need my atu-100 firmware checking
DC ground from center connector is via the SWR bridge transformer.
RF path to ground is high impedance above 80 m up to high end.

"pysmithplot-fork" does not work for me, I don't know why.
I find "mpl_smithchart" and change `from smithplot import SmithAxes` to `from mpl_smithchart import SmithAxes` than all will be fine.

Re: Remote control.
Hi Harald,
If you just want differential signalling, I've used the CLC block to invert the TX pin so you get the TX and TX\ directly out of the PIC (probably needs a PIC with PPS, so something like

Re: Remote control.
I was looking at some of my previous RS485 projects and there I had to use DE & RE pins on the transceiver module when transmitting. So this might require another pin when the ATU wants to transmit

Hi bill,no it was a kit so was an oversight by me,i just wondered if that would cause the no responce to rf or if its a firmware fault etc.
