Re: I'm Back!
OK Bill, I'll start with an order for 2- 20 watt partial kits and follow up with additional items as they become available. Best Wishes and Happy Holidays! John Greusel KC9OJV

Re: I'm Back!
Hi John¡­. I have in stock the following: 1. 20W PA semi-kits. 2. PE4302 attenuator chips. 3. 20A power distribution kits. 4. 20A Power Reversal Prevent kits. 5. 50A Power Reversal Prevent kits. I

Re: I'm Back!
Hi Bill, Am I still on a list somewhere for boards, kits etc? I think I was signed up for quite few items. Best and Happy Holidays, John Greusel KC9OJV

Re: Encoder cards
OOPS! I made a mistake in my post! Every additional Front panel interface board with a different address actually adds up to FOUR additional encoders¡­ Dr. William J. Schmidt - K9HZ J68HZ 8P6HK ZF2HZ

Re: Encoder cards
I wish I had mounted the heatsinks on the rear also. I would move them, if I thought I could unsolder them without ruining the PCB. I'll have to check Mr. SolderFix and see if he has a process. I may

Re: Encoder cards
Al and I were working on my non-I2C version of the T41. Al suggested putting the two voltage regulator heat sinks on the Main board on the backside of the PCB. This is a good idea because the way

Re: Encoder cards
Remember what I said¡­ you can add a second front panel board at a different I2C address and two more encoders (or just the buttons¡­ or just the encoders)¡­ and add the software for two more

It is such a pleasure operating the T41 with real power. People hear me, they give me good reports. A total homebrew kilowatt! And I had a couple of long, satisfying cross-country QSO's. I finally got

40M low power
I'm guessing the LPF is out of whack. I have 13W at the bottom of the band, and 9W at the top. I did check the passbands of the BPF on the bench. - Jerry, KF6VB

Re: V12 no transmit
LPF Cables fabricated. 20W out on 20M!!!! 24W on 15M! Only 9W on 40M :(. 15W on 30M. 19W on 80M! This is without peaking or tweaking ANYTHING. I just wound the BPF and LPF per instructions. Need to

Re: V12 no transmit
Yeah you get TX from PIN 10 of the ¡°BANDS¡± connector¡­ or from the TX/TX pin on the main board (just continue wires 9 & 10 from the BANDS cable over to the 20W PA). The 20W PA was designed way

Re: V12 no transmit
I think I found it. Small matter of missing RF cables from the LPF to the control card :). - Jerry, KF6VB

Re: V12 no transmit
*** Doesn't seem to - that's actually a menu item in "RF Set". It was already set to zero. - Jerry

Re: V12 no transmit
I found it. The 2-pin header is now J10 on the Main Board. Still no transmit though :(. Wonder if the software thinks there's a 100W PA? - Jerry
By jerry-KF6VB · #5628 ·
Re: V12 no transmit
The 20 W PA has such a 2-pin header, the LPF control board does not. IIRC (don't have the schematic in front of me) it gets the TX/RX state through the 10-pin IDC connector.

V12 no transmit
So - now my V12/K9HZ system receives fine. Time to try to transmit. So I scrounged up an RG316 cable to connect the TX output of the RF board to the LPF control card. Hit the mike button, and
