Re: MAR-3SM+ and new display/VFO board coming
I have a Yahoo group named SoftwareControlledHamRadio and some posts are about the antenna analyzer. No other components need to be changed.?

Re: Wiring the EP sockets
Wiring it the way you have in the drawing will work perfect for me. The
only thing I'm struggling with now is the mic. It has a three section jack
(tip,ring,grd) as well. I'm figuring I could either

Re: calibration routine fixed (raduino v1.0.2)
What OS are you using? I've run in to this in Linux if my user account
didn't have permissions to use the serial interface. If it's Windows, it's
possible you have the wrong COM port selected.

Re: Changing frequency display
Some of these arguments confirm why I use a rotary encoder for tuning and menu selection. I have discussed my Fast Tune method here using the encoder which changes the frequency increment

Re: BITX attenuator
Rafal,
You're probably right, the impedance mismatch at the product detector is a good issue to look into. ?Check crystal filter response carefully before and after making any changes to impedance

Re: Wiring the EP sockets
Hi
For the speaker, depends on how you plan on using it.
If the radio will not have an internal speaker, then wire up to pins 3 and
4.
If the radio will have an internal speaker, then you need to

EP, is that the ear phone jacks?
If so, plug in a plug and use an ohm meter to figure out which pin on the
plug goes to the pin on the socket.
Also, someone posted this drawing a while

Re: MAR-3SM+ and new display/VFO board coming
You can read the assembly manual and find that there is a substitute part for the IC. It is a SMD, but I had no trouble soldering it to the board and I'm two years younger than dirt. You can find the

Re: Using switching power supply....
I'm using a Samlex switching supply that I use for everything in my shack. Works great. I wouldn't get a cheap supply for radio work.

Re: 12vDC wiring and hookup
Yup. Run a wire from the + side of the power jack to one side of the switch. Then put all three of the other + wires to the other side of the switch, orange from the VFO and the brown wires from both
