The one's I've seen use 4 bolts at the corners of a square-cut grill placed on the underside of the cabinet.

I'd be interested in how they work for you, if you do buy one. They are not the "standard" MEGA 2560 Pro Mini footprint that I'm using on my VFO board, so I can't use them or I'd try it myself.

Re: W8TEE TFT/VFO DDS adapter
Thanks! Just sent a payment for two boards. Shipping address should be in the note I sent with the payment.

Re: WANTED VK3YE LED LDR AGC diagram

Huw,? I had LED on all the time, till I realised the transistors were in the wrong way round,? I did not get a good response from mine with the audio input in, on the other end of the 3.3k so swapped it, may try a preset there later. Hidehiko. If you track down Peter VK3YE videos it will help with the S meter, the Pot is one leg to +12v and the wiper onto the + side of the S meter, - side of the meter goes onto the - side of the LED, in other words the meter and its potentiometer is across the LED. Hope that helps. Phil - G7BZD On Fri, Jun 16, 2017 at 1:23 PM, <qrper72@...> wrote: Dear Phi, thanks for sharing your AGC. |

Re: New Order
Thanks Jack. I found the same one earlier this afternoon. It is being restocked and available soon. Their statement from the web site. Whatever time that is. Want two asap. The price is surely good. I may order a third one larger to make changes and play. These two are for grandchildren to start having fun. I hope. Will order a third Bitx.?

Hi James: I still enjoy economics a lot and try to stay somewhat current in the field, but the software field changes so quickly, it's hard to keep up. Sounds like your daughter has an interesting field of work.

W8TEE TFT/VFO DDS adapter
Jack Purdum
All: I just noticed that I sent out a code version that did have the IF offset in the code. I'm in the middle of our hamfest and won't be able to get to it until after the hamfest is over (this weekend), but will post that code hopefully on Monday. Probably most of you will have it changed yourself by then.
