Hi, Just saw that that you have used T50-2 cores. T50-2 will not work it is powdered iron core inductance will be very low use FT50-43 or smaller FT37-43 ferrite cores for the transformers.. FT37-43

Hi! Disconnect the 1uF capacitor at base of AF preamp Q4 and isolate if the whistling is due to audio stage or RF combined. 73 Rahul VU3WJM

Re: Raduino_v1.13 with scan function released
Ross, Normally when you press the Function Button 4 times scanning should start. The bottom line on the display should then read "freq scanning". Scanning will normally stop when: - the tuning pot is

For the transformers in the BITX40Module, Farhan uses FT-37-43 cores.?? That is type 43 ferrite material.?? He has ten turns trifilar on those cores.? 10 turns on that core is about 34uH.????

Huseyin: What you are looking for are FT-37-43 and FT-50-43 cores. These are not powdered metal cores; they are ferrite cores. The red, yellow, and white cores are powdered iron; they work ok in BPF

Re: Change from TX offset to RX offset in future code versions?
IMO there's no one "right" way. Either way is correct. I own several older rigs and they use different methods. For example Yaesu FT-901 has RX offset, Kenwood TS-830 has TX offset. But in all cases

Re: Conflicting information
I agree with your analysis, however by turning off the 12 volt supply I never have to be concerned with a faulty diode or any other problem. The 12 volt supply is not needed and it is a minor effort

Almost the same here, loads of spare connectors from previous projects, and a spare microphone. Result... no outlay for new bits. More to spend on strip board and knobs etc. Phil - G7BZD
