Re: Shaking my head in disbelief....
Once you upgrade to kd8cdc software your tuning will be much better. I would just upgrade now as the calibration is so much better on the CDC code.

Re: Board Map/Layout, Test Points? (V5)

I¡¯ve had to figure out a few different connections in

Re: Reverse Polarity Protection.
Ah, thanks for that info Evan.
I'll upgrade the polyswitch. I have them from 50mA to 8Amps here in stock.
Still, I've not got my board going correctly. It is distorted and deaf so I think a mixer is

Re: Reverse Polarity Protection.
Since it is 1 amp, I assume that it is only protecting the board, and not the PA.? When on 80 meters, my v4 and v5 boards will draw 2+ amps total.? That would be close to the trip point of the poly

Re: Reverse Polarity Protection.
