Re: Lovely LM386?
For audio less than 1uF use mylar caps. They're good for bypassing DC for audio stages too, but I'd use ceramics for bypassing RF stages where microphonics and such things as self-inductance are

Re: Lovely LM386?
Ceramic capacitors turn out microphonic. Maybe the input or in the preamp stage coupling stage.
As you say with volume turned up fully means that it is coming from preamp stage or earlier.

Re: I7SWX PTT Pop Mute
Lots of hits on the web for "LM386 pin 7 mute". ?Most pull pin 7 low, though pulling high works too. ?Allard's now routing PTT through the Raduino and driving a transistor to turn on the relays.

W8TEE Software Release 1.05
All:
This release fixes a bunch of bugs, presents a smoother frequency tuning, and more even scrolling through the menu options. The code requires an mcufriend TFT display (2.4" to 3.95" should work)

Re: I7SWX PTT Pop Mute
I used a 5v arduino relay module. with 1 normal open and 1 normal closed
contact.
I used the normally closed contacts so there is audio in rx mode.
When tx occurs the contacts open.

Re: On the Air! Finally!
Eric,
Congrats on building up your BITX40 !
I really like the creative way you used pcb's from other circuits as your enclosure.
The front of your rig really looks cool!

Re: Help with rotary encoder code, please, anyone?
That code is fairly common and I used it in my first encoder article in QRP Quarterly, which I have attached for those who might be interested:

Re: I7SWX PTT Pop Mute
I have spent some time txing with the mod.? I get a buzz or rumble in my headphones that is from my voice.??
Audio reports are good.
Sometimes? frequency bumps down a tenth of a kHz or two when

Re: I7SWX PTT Pop Mute
I also installed the LM386 PIN 7 mod and found it works very well, the
best noise reduction so far.
I still found the TX exit noise a bit louder ,so I added a relay to open
the speaker, this further

Re: Help with rotary encoder code, please, anyone?
It came from an example. It worked immediately so I left it?
It deals with the registers directly.
So, sorry I can't answer your question, and it is a good one!
I guess we could find the code in

Hi Don:
Why do you use PCICR |= (1 << PCIE2);//Interrupt setup to enable interrupt insted of AttachInterrupt?
