Re: Receiver Dead
Excellent! Use that to follow each step thru the audio with an antenna connected to it. Doesn't matter what it's receiving, even noise will show an ever increasing waveform. Actually noise is

Re: BITX QSO Night, Sunday, October 1, 7pm Local Time, 7277 kHz in North America, 7177 kHz elsewhere
Good conditions, but lots of stations.? Made contact with Willie, W1LY (Rhode Island) and Ken, WI1B (Massachusetts) Heard WA2FZW(?), N2CQR (VA), WA3O (PA), N8DAH (MI), KA9OOI (IN), N6ORS (WI)

Re: Receiver Dead
I'd definitely try to remember which toroid it was. My guess is that the insulation on the magnet wire wasn't quite properly removed, and you have a very flaky solder joint there, waiting to fail

Re: Receiver Dead
I too had intermittent receive. I used the very non-technical "tap" method. One of the tiny toroids had a problem either in the winding or the soldered connections. I tapped/wiggled it so that it

Re: W8TEE pending software release and port(?)

Put a switch on an I/O pin and use INPUT_PULLUP with pinMode(). When a NO pushbutton is pushed, the line is pulled LOW, which changes its state. Jack, W8TEE To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, October

I had to yell to get through the noise but just managed to work W1LY with a very minimal exchange.

Yes that is what they're probably trying to say. But the wording is very confusing to programmers without an EE background. Many don't understand the real purpose of pull up resistors. 73 Allard

Re: Cw - another quirk
Yes, I suspected that might be the case. I think I'll put bypass capacitors on both the keying lines and the function switch and spot switch. It probably doesn't help that I am using a plastic

Re: W8TEE pending software release and port(?)

Wait a minnit. I think I understand what they're so horribly trying to say. When input pullup is NOT used, a floating connection is low (or presumably low). So in order to get it to do something your

Re: W8TEE pending software release and port(?)

This is absolutely INCORRECT. pinMode(xx, INPUT) and pinMode(xx, INPUT_PULLUP) only enable/disable the internal pull up resistors. They DON'T invert the behaviour of the input! 73 Allard PE1NWL

Re: Receiver Dead
Unplug the vol control from the board and see if touching the pin that would connect to the wiper gives you noise. That isolates the preamp from the circuit. If you get the noise you used to get, look
