Perhaps you could send this out for bid with Boeing and/or Lockheed.? ?;-) Demanding regression testing of various convenience factors for us to hack the stock firmware of a $109 radio seems a bit

Re: Core for Output Transformer
My plan is the longer version of the BN43-6802 (or use two BN43-302 end to end). Amidon has the 6802, Diz/Kitsandparts has the 302. I? have to order some MPSH10s for driver mods. Allison

Re: Should we adopt the KD8CEC firmware?
It isn't an issue of how easy or hard it is to change the software load. Using defines to do this seems to be a simple and effective way to do it. John has proved that with his options. What happens

Really? Even if I'm not the one that integrated the software into the load the operator is using? If it works with *my* software load and I offer for others to use then *I* am responsible for making

Re: Should we adopt the KD8CEC firmware?
We aren't talking about what load *I* want to use. We are talking about what load should come as standard with a new ubitx. If you want to make it harder for a beginning experimenter to make changes

Re: Should we adopt the KD8CEC firmware?
Simple solution. Download the original firmware, modify it and load it onto your Raduino. Noone ever said you'd be stuck with the CEC firmware if it came as stock. Vince.

Re: Voltage Regulator
The LM78L09 and LM7809 have very different pinouts and if it smoked on power up it was wired wrong. I cannot imagine a case where the VFO used more power than a 78L09 could handle. Allison

Hi Vince, All you need is two 6-lead ribbon cables. 4 pins are not used, just check the schematics. 73, Frank PA7F

Two 8-pin molex will work but you have to shave just a tiny bit of plastic off to make them fit end-to-end. See attached using CAT5. 73, Pat AA4PG http://www.cahabatechnology.com/aa4pg.html

Re: Voltage Regulator
Thank you for your reply.. I finally decided to change the LM78L09 with LM7809.. I think it was because the LM78L09 couldn't take the high current.
