Re: Accident, Did I damage my Raduino

Don¡¯t listen to all the analog VFO haters here, and their ¡°stable frequencies¡± and their ¡°frequency read outs...¡± ?*rolls eyes*

;-)

The analog VFO is a LOT of fun to use. They are right that it is drifty as all get-out; you need to stay on top of it or you¡¯ll lose the QSO. And a 10-turn pot is a MUST, or just touching the tuning knob will kick you over by a few kHz.?

So, yes, I GUESS it¡¯s a bit of a challenge... but what is life without a challenge every so often! Keep that brain working a little bit more.?

Try the analog VFO. It¡¯s good for you.

Thank you for the advice Jerry,
Yeah it was an easy newbie mistake for me to make, I should have been more careful. I will order a new raduino and try out the analog VFO while waiting.
I am loving this radio, as a new ham I am learning a ton thanks to the this group and toying with this radio. I am hooked on homebrew and want to build more projects.

Justin, KN4FAW
