I saw Dave Cassler on YouTube set up the mic and PPT on a pen cap. It does work. One question y'all. The heatsinked transistors towards the back get hot in standby? Do I need to find a fan of some

Chris, Good job! You would not believe how much trouble that little 4.7k resistor has caused over the last 3 years! Glad it's all working now. Rick KN4AIE _____ Sent: Sunday, May 17, 2020 8:22 PM To:

Actually, all I did was add the 4.7 km resistor between the yellow and blue wires on the Arduino cable ribbon and that put the voltage where it needed to be. Then I made sure that the push to talk

Thanks Evan, this is exactly what I needed. Mine did not have all this information in it. Now I can change bands and function so life is good. All I need to do is hook up the microphone and pull my

Hi Bob, For home/hobby use, I have a Best DT-9205M. It's not a high quality multimeter, but it measures AC and DC voltage and current, resistance, and capacitance. It's good enough for order of

I would clarify what Christopher is saying in that the PULLUP RESISTOR and 3.5 mm plug needs to be installed.? The key itself is optional. 73 Evan AC9TU

Re: Better mic for ver 6.1
On some runs of the Baofeng mics, the little hole in the case for the mic is in the wrong spot! Open it up and drill the hole in the correct spot (you'll see it). My mic went from crappy to sounding

Chris did you install the 4.75k resistor? Without it the radio may cycle or stay in CW mode See page 4 of the mini manual. Also function settings on page 16. Hope this helps! Rick KN4AIE _____ Sent:

Even a 20 mhz scope is good enough. The old analog, crt scopes dont shutter down beyond their operating frequency, they remain usable to almost twice the frequency. These can be picked up for a few
