Re: Very high clicks after cw wiring

 

Without the modification when I press the key, the display indicates that it is transmitting in CW mode, but it really isn't
Yes that's correct, since v1.14 you cannot do CW without the TX-RX line

When I press the PTT, which I assume is basically the same as what the transistor in the mod does, the transmit mode on the display switches to LSB
Yes this is as designed:?(since v1.14,??see the revision record in?README.md): CW key down brings the radio?in CW mode automatically. Press the PTT on the mike to return to SSB mode.

I did install the modification but with that in place, when I pressed the key momentarily, the BitX locked up in transmit.
Did you perhaps switch the emitter and collector of the bypass transistor by mistake? This can lead to similar behaviour (once the transistor is opened it will stay open forever until you power off).
I recommend to look into?this?"lockup issue"?first. I'm quite convinced that once this is fixed the rest will work fine too.
