I had taken a bit of leave from my bitx-40 project several months ago when I could not get the Raduino working right. I could not upload the amunter sketch, or anything else. Best as we can tell, my original? Arduino Nano got fried somehow.?
So good old Amazon to the rescue! I bought three Arduino Nanos for $12, and my friend soldered on the pins, which on a Raduino are upside down from every other Arduino (go look at other Arduinos on Amazon, and you will quickly see this). He uploaded the amunter sketch, and the display shows exactly what it supposed to show!? Color me relieved! We traced the voltages though the main board, and all seems well. So I think I am pretty darn close now. I will clean up some of the wiring and double check that all the wires from the main board to the various components are correct.
One thing that several people have been confused by, myself included, was attaching the fitting to the 16 pin header. The attached photo shows how it has to be attached, this was based on my friend's knowledge and experience and skill with his multimeter!
I still need a proper antenna, but I expect to be on the air in the not too distant future!
