Re: Tuning potentiometer too long to be fitted
I used the little shaft on supplied Volume control by drilling out an Al spacer (1/4') and crazy glued it to the smaller nylon pot shaft. Works great. I wanted the switch on the pot to save panel

Re: IRF510- Temporary replacement?
The IRF510 gets plenty hot, a BS170 will likely blow in this circuit. ?Wear eye protection. ?T7 converts the 50 ohms to 12.5 ohms at the IRF510, you might go without T7 is using a relatively wimpy

Re: cw speed
Get to above 15 to prevent deciphering the dits/dahs. Currently still struggling to get beyond this. Even when I did my cw exam about 30years ago. G4FON program is a good solution to get this done.

Re: Raduino_v1.14 released
Should work fine, and not a bad idea. If you can't find 100k, could use a 10k pot between ground and the Arduino 5v digital CW transmit output, center wiper of pot goes on out to the 10k series fixed

Re: Struggling with tuning clicks and birdie sounds
If the BitX is not connected to an antenna, tuning clicks are very noticeable. When connected to a 40m antenna they,for all practical purposes, disappear. Willy W1LY

Re: Tuning potentiometer too long to be fitted
Remember to hold the pot shaft end (the part your cutting off) in the vise, NOT the body of the pot. You don't want to put that kind of pressure on the pot. Mike, WA6ISP

That sounds like a good theory. I was aware of the issue with D7 and C130 and thought that might be the problem. It seems like the problem doesn't occur when I have the meter attached. At this point
