Re: RX and TX LED (LEDs 101)
we generally use RED (1.4V) for Tx and Green (2.1V) for Rx. let us imagine 2V as led drop. With 12V power , i suppose that 4K7 is optimal.to work older or newer (hi bright) leds. all the best. sarma

Re: 80 Meters on BITX40?
Further to the LPF modification for 80m, I have done more experimenting and found that if you switch in a 470pf cap across L6 in the LPF, you will get about 37db attenuation on 40m, with a nice

It's called a Pelican Case. Google it and you'll find several suppliers, even ebay. I got one from BHPhoto. Vince. -- Michigan VHF Corp. http://www.nobucks.net/ http://www.CDupe.com/

Yoyo dipole is good but it takes more work to put up. Lately I've been using an EFHW, its just a small 49:1 auto transformer and 67 feet of wire for 40-10m no tuner, 15 feet of coax. Sling one end up

Re: raduino v1.27 released (improved suppression of spurious burst)
Hmm, maybe possible. But this would take extra program space and we're already tight. I want to implement digital BFO first (v2) which also needs some space. If we would have 4 VFO's then we also need

Re: raduino v1.27 released (improved suppression of spurious burst)
Hi Allard,Would it be possible to have, say, 4 vfos instead of the 2? It would make it a lot easier when switching bands to have 80m on one vfo (which i have now) and 40 on the next, 30 on number vfo3
