A special function work in Place of rit, when push two times you change band 80 40 20 15 and 10.
In the code follow the section market as MULTI_BAND to see the mods.
Now I operate with a dual band bitx using QrpLabs LPF and BPF mounts on sockets.

Re: W8TEE Software Release 1.07-10 to Remove digitalWriteFast library
Jack,
put in a new encoder and no joy.
I feel two 'clicks' and with every two clicks, the display moves on digit.
7.021.6
turn two clicks
7.021.5
push the switch button, and I can step though the menus, change keyer speed (it's jumpy, too) and back to freq display

Re: W8TEE Software Release 1.07-10 to Remove digitalWriteFast library
That worries me, as I'm using the cheap KY-040 encoder myself but it performs flawlessly for me. Anyone else having issues?

It¡¯s one of those cheap encoders off eBay.
It simply won¡¯t tune correctly. It¡¯s like the digits change only with 2 or 3 clicks. Or jumps from 7.012 to 7.290 with a few clicks
I¡¯ve installed the .01 caps
If I push the switch, I can step through the various menus and select what I need.?
I¡¯ve got some other encoders, haven¡¯t tried them yet. I¡¯m suspecting it¡¯s a fubar encoder

Yeah, that's exactly why I added this functionality. I believe it may add lot of value to BitX users who want to use it for field operations. 73 Allard PE1NWL

Re: preview: Raduino v1.25 with capacitive touch CW keyer
BTW, I've used a CT keyer for several years now and the really nice thing about them is that you don't have to drag a set of paddles with you when you're out in the field. Here's
 one we built using an ATTiny85 and two solder lugs for the paddles. (That's a Digispark board with sidetone buzzer and makes a cheap code practice oscillator, too.)

Re: W8TEE Software Release 1.07-09
The gap may be larger or non-existent, depending on the size of the display. You could just define a symbolic constant (e.g., XOFFSET) and set it to some pixel count and then find all the x coordinate calls and add it to it which would center the display. The other alternative is to change screenBoxWidth around line 1500 in setup(). I think I defined most of the positions relative to the width and height of each box....I guess you'll find out!

Complied and loaded fine once I added the DigitalWriterFast library. Screen has a gap on the right side but I'll fix that. You surprised me with the RTC. Gotta get one of them.  don

Re: W8TEE Software Release 1.07-09
Have no idea how old it is, but it should be compatible in any case. As it turns out, that was an experiment I was trying. I'm no longer actually calling the library code...I just forgot to remove it. I have posted the latest version (1.07-10) on the group site that does not use the ditigalWriteFast library.
