Re: BITX Ver3 tuning issues
Thanks Jerry. I had read about the issue and took particular care not to connect the Nano when the soldering was done. It was hooked up last. I will check the Voltage into the Nano and report back 73

Re: BITX Ver3 tuning issues
Those pins out of the Nano are rather dainty, could have blown the Nano's IO cell if you soldered it to the pot while the wiring harness was connected to the Nano and the soldering iron wasn't quite

BITX Ver3 tuning issues
Hi all Finally got around?finishing my BITX40 Ver3?yesterday. It passed the smoke test. Eveything seems to be OK except for the tuning. It is locked on 6.9MHz. I am using a 10T, 100K precision pot

Re: BItx40 kit
And one more thought: Bryan, did you perhaps install an NPN bypass transistor across the PTT switch for CW? If you did, did you connect it correctly? If installed incorrecty (reversed emitter and

Re: BItx40 kit
Another thought: Try without the PTT or mic plugged. The relay release voltage is 1.5 and coil is 450 Ohms. So even a 2K across the PTT line will prevent the relays from releasing. You could check the

Re: BItx40 kit
I once had problems with one of the relays and replaced it by: brand: ZETTLER type: AZ822-2C-12DE

Re: BItx40 kit
OK Bryan, so far out of 1000's sold I read yours the first relay complaint. Only keep in mind that the standard relay numbering of OMRON and others is different from the BITX40 numbering. OMRON coil

What are those connectors called, We use HE14 connectors at work, but they are different, could do with a set. Phil - G7BZD

Re: Raduino_v1.12 released
The standard BITX40 board doesn't come with a connector for those pins. I just soldered the wires directly to the board. But of course you could install a connector for those pins if you want to. 73

hi the picture appears to show D5, D6, D7 connected directly to the board without a white connector. Is that right Terry GM4DSO

Re: Scan feature, need coding help
That is one nice element of Shuttle Tuning, just a turn either way and it starts to scan. Speed determined by how far you turn. de ND6T

Re: Scan feature, need coding help
Would also like a scan feature, could it be done from separate UP & DOWN buttons. I know that may be a bit more involved, or not ? Just happen to use a microphone that has UP & DOWN buttons. Also is

Re: BItx40 kit
Does your board have OMRON relays? Mine has some other brand. The PIN numbers of the relays is based on a 16 pin IC socket. So it is 1- 3- 5 --8 16-14-12--9
