Re: BITX40 - wiring power via volume control

You may want to use a ON-OFF-ON DPDT switch in place of the volume control switch. This will allow you to put either 12 volts or your choice of final voltage on the Final. Wired as follows ? 1 O???? O 2 3 O???? O 4 5 O???? O 6 ? Wire 12 Volts to pin 3 and selected final voltage to pin 6. Pin 4 goes to the final voltage connector pin 2 goes to the 12 volt connector on the board. Tie together pins 1, 2, and 5 ? v/r Fred W4JLE ?

Subject: [BITX20] BITX40 - wiring power via volume control ? Go easy on me! First post and first homebrew project... Step 2 of the BITX40 wiring up instructions says that 'the DC power from the socket goes to the board ?through the on/off switch on the volume control', but then later in step 2 it says that 'you may route the positive power line through the ON/OFF switch on the volume control' making it sound optional or that it requires some additional configuration. So, if you follow the default instructions in steps 2 and 4, is the DC power routed through the volume control via the PCB board, or do you need to do this yourself by wiring the DC socket to the volume control and then from there to the board? Thanks in advance!
