Hi all, read up on some of the mods for my BITX40 and one I have made is on the tuning pot. I have replaced the said single turn pot, with a 10 turn pot, to aid tuning accuracy.
My problem is, I have used the wrong value. I should have used a 100k pot, but I replaced the original with a 10 turn of the same value. this makes the frequency gallop at each end of travel.
My question is, can I use a 10 turn wire wound pot? These are quite cheep and easy to obtain and as it is only changing the frequency of the arduino, I think, they should not matter if not carbon made.
Thoughts please and if I need a carbon any links to obtaining these in UK in less than 100s parts please.
thanks Vaughn
