Re: AGC with MAX 9814 again

 

You have to add the circuit on a low audio level.
Mine is connected directly to the mixer sinse it contains a low noise amplifier.
For the circuit, see
Depending on your rig, it is likely you have to cut a track or a wire.

AGC with MAX 9814 again

Crni Mrki, DK4BN
 

HI to all.
I have uBITX V6 with Nextion display and CEC Firmware.
I made this adapter:
https://ubitx.net/2018/02/28/agc-mod/
I am wondering how to connect it to my RIG. Do I need to cut the leads somewhere on the PCB or can it be connected to the existing connectors?
Every help is welcome.
Thanks.

I have a siltronix amp, carbon copy using MRF454s.

I prefered the AN762 with mrf421s for 180w.? Cleaner as well.
Its a spare now but if any of the QRP radios need a big boost that's it.
Made a few for VHF low use 30 to 47Mhz for a special project.
I think the run was 14, made them all in just over a week and tested
them packaged them for mobile use.? ?Lot of custom aluminum too

Re: What's New? NANO every

 

Allison

i agree. I have parameterized the eeprom write/read in the 2.0 branch I am working on. So using an eeprom emulator to flash should be ¡°easy¡±. I just never did it because I added the i2c eeprom chip and avoided having to support another library.?

So someone could take what I did and retrofit it to the 1.2 version or just fix the nano every implementation I have. I just have a few things on my plate at moment or I would do it ?;-)

That's worse.? Your intent was in the right place.?

Re: sBitx #sBitx PA MOD Plan #sBitx

 

Mark,

To make a point.

"JPEG has excellent compression methods; a file compressed at ......" and so on.

There is another way to say that... are you so stupid as to not be aware of JPG
compression?" Yes that patently offensive but certainly the same content and
some of the feel.

Another way to say that is "We need to compress those images and jpg does
that for users with slow feed.".

Does the latter have a better feel?? It certainly conveys the need.

I think everyone here knows about JPG and its compression capabilities.? Its
only a 30 year OLD imaging standard.

I would hope that the document would be compressed maybe even zipped
for size.? Compression is over 40 years old and goes back the the CP/M days.?

However, the initial images are what I was talking about, not the delivery means.
They need to be of good quality meaning in focus and close enough for detail
so we can use them, all done prior to delivery.

We have had a few images that were when enlarged were just to fuzzy to read
and left people guessing rather than understanding early mods.

Not being picky or grumpy or even a bitch.? One thing is required, what is needed
and?to what extent especially for those inexperienced with a soldering tools.? We
have an audience that ranges from new operators to experienced engineers.?
We need to be able to help those that may feel in over their head.? That
includes pulling them up, helping them learn and do, without being condescending.

If this seems harsh it was not meant to be, but no question, It needed to be direct.

Well,

All I can say is I'm sorry I brought it up!


Re: What's New? NANO every

 

Mark,

That was true, but the Nano Every has so little EEProm you have to
use flash to store all that...? But it has 16K more flash.

So if you using a part that has limited EEProm you need to look at other capability?
to achieve the same result.

So 'CEC software would need some work for the flash case.? That can be done likely
using similar code.

Re: What's New? NANO every

 

To Dr Lee¡¯s credit, kd8cec does a pretty good job of not wasting Writes to eeprom. For example, the last frequency and mode use on each band and specifically for vfo a and b are stored in eeprom. But the writes are delayed for several seconds to make sure that the frequency was of interest and you were not just scanning.?


The uBITX memory manager he wrote also only writes changed bytes. So I suspect most of us will be sk long before we use up 100k writes. :-)

Re: What's New? NANO every

 

IF memory serves there is a lib that allows for a reserved area
of flash with wear leveling.

With the Nano Every there is 48K of flash minus the bootloader
so using a K or two is not a big deal especially if you only copy
back if the contents actually changed.

Well, why did you reply to something long dead?? FIrst the assumption

Or know they even exist, that include the wiki, photos, and files...

Is it wrong to reply to older threads now?

I was looking at the group's space and attachments and saw this post about attachment size.? One option for sure is no email, but I think the OP needed to keep emails going but had a hard time dealing with large attachments.? I seached and found out that groups.io allows one to limit attachment size on emails.? I didn't know that before and thought that some others may appreciate the info.

I don't understand the reason for your peevish reply...
