Thanks Jerry. I didn't know it was possible to track it once it left India. I'm a long way from a small rural post office but the one in my neighborhood isn't usually too busy these days. I'll ask

Re: Cw - another quirk
Yes I had this problem too sometimes, it was caused by RF due to poor SWR. Make sure your SWR is OK and that everything is grounded properly. Perhaps your cheap paddle (its cable) is not shielded or

Re: PTT Sense Issues
Jerry, Correct, we need the pullup on A0 for reasons of backward compatibility. At startup the firmware detects whether or not the PTTsense line is installed. When the PTTsense is NOT installed, input

Not sure if anyone else has noticed anything similar, but here is an interesting observation. I have a cheap mfj travel paddle I was using to test the qsk and keyer functions. I'm using an end fed

Re: dc power connection bitx40 confusion
While reading this thread, I am sure that many builders have wired their BITX-40's for dual voltages.? If you have, I would like to see a posting here on just how you accomplished it.? This would

Re: PTT Sense Issues
**SOLVED** Yep, it sure was a short between A0 and A1. A bit of sloppy soldering on the Arduino MCU. I could have sworn I checked earlier, but must have overlooked this tiny spot. Thanks again for all

Re: PTT Sense Issues
From what I can tell, everything checks out OK. Voltage on A0 attached through 10k resistor to regulator output is ~1.22v RX, 5v TX. Regulator pin 1 is 0v RX, 5v TX. Regulator pin 3 is 0v RX, 12v TX.

Re: PTT Sense Issues
Allard, You are writing your firmware in such a way that users need not apply all mods. That might require a pullup or pulldown on A0, in which case it's best to ignore my previous post. If thresholds

Re: PTT Sense Issues
Allard, What you have works well enough. But on the next rev of firmware, you might remove the pullup from A0. (As you are likely already planning to do.)
