Re: 12vDC wiring and hookup
I use a separate switch DPDT ON-OFF-ON switch. In one position you feed 12V to both the main board and the final, in the other on position I feed 19.8 volts to the final and 12 volts to the board as

Re: Letting the smoke out
!!!!!!?? It's alive !!!!
It was a burned trace. I traced the voltage and saw 13.7 at L8 and 7-9 at T7.? I soldered a jumper on the back of the board from L8 to T7 pin 6 and now I have 13.7 volts

Re: Changing frequency display
Adding momentary switches to both ends of the potentiometer would be a simple and frugal alternative to holding the pot at either 0 or 10k ohms. Another approach would be to use a rotary encoder and

Re: Wiring the EP sockets
Wiring it the way you have in the drawing will work perfect for me. The
only thing I'm struggling with now is the mic. It has a three section jack
(tip,ring,grd) as well. I'm figuring I could either

Re: calibration routine fixed (raduino v1.0.2)
What OS are you using? I've run in to this in Linux if my user account
didn't have permissions to use the serial interface. If it's Windows, it's
possible you have the wrong COM port selected.

Re: Changing frequency display
Some of these arguments confirm why I use a rotary encoder for tuning and menu selection. I have discussed my Fast Tune method here using the encoder which changes the frequency increment

Re: BITX attenuator
Rafal,
You're probably right, the impedance mismatch at the product detector is a good issue to look into. ?Check crystal filter response carefully before and after making any changes to impedance

Re: Wiring the EP sockets
Hi
For the speaker, depends on how you plan on using it.
If the radio will not have an internal speaker, then wire up to pins 3 and
4.
If the radio will have an internal speaker, then you need to

Thanks for that drawing, I had not seen it. I believe that will resolve the

EP, is that the ear phone jacks?
If so, plug in a plug and use an ohm meter to figure out which pin on the
plug goes to the pin on the socket.
Also, someone posted this drawing a while

Re: MAR-3SM+ and new display/VFO board coming
You can read the assembly manual and find that there is a substitute part for the IC. It is a SMD, but I had no trouble soldering it to the board and I'm two years younger than dirt. You can find the

Yup. Run a wire from the + side of the power jack to one side of the switch. Then put all three of the other + wires to the other side of the switch, orange from the VFO and the brown wires from both
