Re: problem loading nextion firmware model mismatch
Morris, I had the same problem with my 2.8 Nextion. Try "UBITX_Nextion_GUI_V3\ubitx_28.TFT". Make sure it is a TFT file and not an HMI file. There are others that will work but try this one first.

Re: Installing BCI and Kit-Projects AGC

Re: Installing BCI and Kit-Projects AGC
Did you short the Common to Ground on the switch pads? Just leaving it open is actually setting it to a SUPER SLOW agc motion and will give you even weirder results. Can you show me where the yellow V

Re: Installing BCI and Kit-Projects AGC
Just jumping RF In/Out wont remove the agc from the circuit, It has a shunt element that would still be active :) IN order to remove the shunt element as well you would need to put the switch pads

Re: Installing BCI and Kit-Projects AGC
HI Joel, Can you send us some pictures of your installation? Low volume can be caused by a few things, Most notably a bad RX path or A bad RX gain pot setting. Tim Keller wrote:
