I was away for a few days and just tested the voltage off the 8 Pin outs of the Raduino board using a wall wart for power and yellow number 4 as ground.

From pin out 3 to 8 the voltage read 4.68 volts dc. Pin out 1 is not used but was giving random mil volt readings and so was pin out 2 which maps to the keyer.

With the encoder removed and the radio powered up I grounded red, pin out 6 to yellow which is what the encoder does when the shaft is depressed. This, I think, should have taken me into the standard menu but it did not seem to. It gave me two options one was do you want to change bands? The next momentary grounding of red to yellow said press to confirm and the last momentary grounding of red to yellow took the radio back to the frequency display. This does not seem right unless you have to unlock all the other menu features, so in spite of the voltage readings being seemingly OK I am thinking the Raduino is out to lunch.

Could you be so kind as to give me the contact information or web page from which you ordered your new Raduino from? I think I will have to do the same and can't seem to find the spare parts page.

Thanks and good luck on your radio.

I have almost the exact same issue with my uBitx!!!!

I spend many hours trying to diagnose this problem at the end you can narrow it down to this:

1. Disconnect the raduino board from the main board
2. Disconnect the main connector
3. Power it with a USB cable
4. Measure voltage between pin 4 and 6 (Yellow to Red)
5. It should read 5 Volt

It it doesn't read 5 Volt your Raduino board is bad and you have to replace it. So I ordered a new one ($35 shipping from India shigh..). Meantime bought a generic and will attempt to replace the failed one. Who knows I might have it working before the orignal board arrives.
