OK Bryan, so far out of 1000's sold I read yours the first relay complaint.
Only keep in mind that the standard relay numbering of OMRON and others is different
from the BITX40 numbering. OMRON coil is numbered as 1-16 but BITX as 8-9.
It is highly unlikely that both relays failed.
Please send a photo of the relay from the top.
I think the boards have VIRTUAL VRS2H.

Dear BITX owners

The BITX kit producer is not doing his business any good supplying shoddy equipment so I cannot see how my kit board was ever tested prior to sending?

Re: Raduino_v1.12 released
What are those connectors called, We use HE14 connectors at work, but they are different, could do with a set.

I just soldered the wires directly to the board. But of course you could
install a connector for those pins if you want to.

Thats right, thru plated holes to the one side of the 5 way connector.

Re: Scan feature, need coding help
That is one nice element of Shuttle Tuning, just a turn either way and it starts to scan. Speed determined by how far you turn. de ND6T

Not only did they had masks, also a double barrel over under pointed at me for 35 Euro ;)

Re: Scan feature, need coding help
Would also like a scan feature, could it be done from separate UP & DOWN buttons. I know that may be a bit more involved, or not ?
Just happen to use a microphone that has UP & DOWN buttons.
Also is there a version that has the S meter in the code.

The way you set things up will only execute the scan() routine once (when
you press the FB 4 times).
You need to call the scan() routine from the
loop() routine so that it is executed repeatedly. You could create an
additional mode (for example MODE_SCAN) for this so that the standard
doTuning() is not executed while you are in scan mode.
If many users
think this is a useful feature we could perhaps include it in the next
version. Any votes?
If you are on Github, please create a fork so that I can merge your code
once you got it running.

Re: Raduino_v1.12 released
Hi all ? I recently bought the Raduino upgrade kit. I don¡¯t know what version software is on it but it chugs as I turn the turn the tuning dial ¨C chug, chug, chug ? Does the latest software fix this problem and what other features can I expect that are different? ? Thanks Peter ? ? Sent from for Windows 10 ?
