Re: BUYING A SPARE SI5351A BOARD
As of Arduino 1.0.1, it is possible to enable the internal pullup
resistors with the mode INPUT_PULLUP. Additionally, the INPUT mode
explicitly disables the internal pullups.

The original BITX20 is getting rather old. After several thousand posts
there may not be much more to be said about that design. There are
still kits available for BITX-xx transceivers,

Re: BITX40 - wiring power via volume control
There is a difference between "inexpensive" and "low-quality", although the two are often associated.

Re: Help with Bitx-40
Evan,
When you reach either end of the tuning pot you go into “shuttle mode” and will tune in larger increments. To stop it, simply reverse the direction of the pot.

Re: BITX40 - wiring power via volume control
You could spend more than $59 on just a potentiometer. ?Compared to that, I suppose everything on the Bitx40 is low quality. ?That's why I got one. ?Haven't seen any complaints here about the pot

Re: BITX40 - wiring power via volume control
Is "unnecessary wear on the potentiometer" really a concern if that what's it's designed for?? Or does the kit come with low-quality components?
At any rate, my bitx40 order is on its way, and I'm
