Now that Raduino working, still trying to resolve RX issues.?? There
is so much clock signal floating around that it masks the RX signal
when I try to trace with scope.? So...
Now trying a brute force approaches to low RF sensitivity and low,
distorted audio.? They sort of work...
Audio:
Bypassed board audio amp section and used a LM358 to feed the audio
PA IC.? Much improved, but does want to oscillate if gain set too
high.
RF:
Built a MMIC front end amp.? I can now hear noise when I connect the
antenna!? Signals notably stronger.
Would like to add a RF gain control.? Found that controlling the
voltage to the MMIC (thus the current), the gain will change from
maximum to a very low value, perhaps even attenuating the signal.
Here is my question:
What are any negative effects of operating the MMIC at currents much
lower than specified?
Thanks, Woody? -? KZ4AK
