Re: Frequency display refresh (or lack thereof)
Jack Purdum
I don't know if this fixes it, but give this a try (make a backup of your current code...just in case!). Change the current interrupt service routine to: ISR(PCINT2_vect) { ? unsigned char result = r.process(); ? if (result == 0) ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?// New lines. No reason to check if 0 return; ? if (result == DIR_CW) ? ? set_frequency(1); ? else ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? // No reason for else since it is not 0 ? ? set_frequency(-1); } Then make this change: void set_frequency(short dir) { ? if (dir == 1) ? ? vfo += radix; ? if (dir == -1) ? ? vfo -= radix; ? // ? ?if(vfo > F_MAX) ? // ? ? ?vfo = F_MAX; ? // ? ?if(vfo < F_MIN) ? // ? ? ?vfo = F_MIN; ? display_frequency(); ? changed_f = 1; } I can't test this so you'll have to let us know what happened.

Hey Rob. Yes, it's on a nano. Sorry I meant to mention that. 73 de KB1VNA On Sat, Feb 4, 2017 at 11:22 AM, eric torraca <eric.torraca@...> wrote:

Hello Gents. Thanks for the replies. I'll attach the sketch, here are the pin-outs as physically attached: Arduino pins:? D2 - R encoder D3 - R encoder D4 - not connected (NC) D5 - LCD RS D6 - LCD E D7 - LCD D4 D8 - LCD D5 D9 - LCD D6 D10 - LCD D7 D11 - R encoder button D12 - NC A4 - Si5351 SDA A5 - Si5351 SCL 73 de KB1VNA On Sat, Feb 4, 2017 at 11:09 AM, M Garza <mgarza896@...> wrote:

And I should learn to read.... I would attach the sketch you are using, since it has been modified for your needs. Marco - KG5PRT? On Feb 4, 2017 10:07 AM, "M Garza" <mgarza896@...> wrote:

Hello Eric, I would recommend at least a link to the sketch.? You could also include it as an attachment. Marco - KG5PRT? On Feb 4, 2017 9:26 AM, "Eric Torraca" <eric.torraca@...> wrote:

Re: Possible PA low output problem.
So you could barely hear that third one, and he was 7.6 miles away? ?And not the other two? ?But your receiver is otherwise working OK? ?If they are running at the same power level as you, thats a pretty good indication of what your rig would sound like at their end. For a guy who used to run WWII surplus Arc5 gear, your complaint that the display was off by 100hz sounds kind of funny. ?I've never owned a rig that was accurate enough to just dial in a number and have the SSB audio come through clearly. If you have any power at all going into a dummy load, that receiver in the same room should be plenty loud. ?Perhaps the receiver is way overloaded, and is pretty much shutting down. ?Or your audio level is way down (bad microphone?) so you don't have enough drive into the final. ?A low audio level would suggest the final has not much to do though, and thus the current into the IRF510 would be stuck around 100ma. ? Hard to debug from here, anybody in the club have a scope? Jerry On Fri, Feb 3, 2017 at 08:13 pm, John Smith wrote:

Re: USPS Tracking
Good day, I bought the DDS $ 14.00 on December 24, 2016 on January 7, 2017, was despatched, with the Nr Track & Tracer. Supposedly with route to Argentina. To this day he has not arrived in Argentina. In which part of the world will the package be lost ???? Greetings to the group. Julio cx4ol / cx3cc |

Re: USPS Tracking
John, Sounds like you know way more than I about the USPS. ?But looking online, ACS stands for Address Correction Service. I wouldn't think packages would get sent there routinely. ?That clerk wasn't too clear on what ACS was, but she did think it meant something might be wrong with the label. ?Maybe one of those machines misread a barcode. The NW US has had a tough winter. ?Portland seldom sees much snow, and doesn't have much in the way of snow removal equipment or snow savvy drivers. ?Whole town shuts down every time there's a couple inches. ?Just yesterday morning the streets there were a sheet of ice from freezing rain. ?I'm way out in the boonies, a 7 hour drive from Portland (on a summer's day). ?Local towns are having residents leave the taps dripping to keep the lines from freezing, the months of cold weather have taken the frost line down to the water mains. ?I'm 5 miles from our mailbox, of which I clear over a mile with my tractor, and the county's big snowplows have trouble keeping the rest open due to drifting snow. ?Makes it tough to check for packages. ?Tried driving to Portland in early December, found out in La Grand that 160 miles of I84 had been shut down from the Idaho border to Pendleton for over a day, virtually no mention of it on the ODOT website. ?Even the oldtimers say it's been a tough winter. A couple decades ago the company I worked for was selling camera interface boards that I designed into mail sorting machines to read bar codes. ?I made several field trips to help them out ?Monstrous noisy machines, Rube Goldberg would be proud. ?The guys working on the software would send a stack of sample mail through a machine every time they wanted to test, and after a few dozen runs it would all be half shredded. ?We created a special camera simulator to drive our camera interface so they could read a few thousand images from disk, no longer needed to put on ear protection and head down to the machine room.

I bet our radios are going through the "extreme vetting" process... Just kidding.? Yes, it is tough waiting for a new toy.? Not being able to track it via the USPS website is annoying, but not anyone's fault. Nice to know I am not the only one. Marco - KG5PRT?

BitX40 Tips and Mods doc
G4NQX
Well,? I've trawled through over 2000 posts and gleaned as much useful information as I can.? This version is dated and contains lots more useful info. At this point since early January there has been around 1500 posts to Groups.io BitX20 ! That's some going for a group, just shows how popular the BitX is. BITX40 with Raduino tips4Feb2017.docx

Code extras and wiring
G4NQX
In the Raduino code are extra features which are commented out from running.? If you decide to uncomment them to use and reprogram the Nano then the wiring is as follows:-
There is code for? dual vfo, rit, cw tx/rx.
It's already in the code but commented out in the ¡° loop() ¡°.? You need to uncomment them and reprogram the Nano.
It uses a pushbutton on Nano A3 pin to select using tap, press, double tap method.
Wiring colours used are
Brown = CW?? Key ?
Red? = Calibrate and CW tone output when in CW
Orange = Pushbutton to select Dual vfo¡¯s,? RIT,? CW
Blue = PTT Sense
Black = LPF Select ¨C not catered for yet I am updating the Tips n Mods and will post it soon

Re: Using a DC booster ...
Ronny Julian
Don't know if they are clean wall warts but older HP printers used to have 24 volt supplies in that current range.? I see some at Goodwill and other thrift stores.? These are often set aside as they are not 12,9,or 5 vdc and have strange 3 pin connectors.? Just an idea Ronny K4RJJ On Fri, Feb 3, 2017 at 5:58 PM, Ion Petroianu <ion.petroianu@...> wrote:
