A more thorough explanation, then:
"their" is possessional - it's the plural of "his/her/its"
"there" is positional - in this case the position/place is in the code and eventually on screen.
They sound the same but have vastly different meanings. This is partly American dialect and partly sub-standard education - not your fault, but your teachers in childhood and the system they operate in. It's akin to "your/you're" and even "yaw", and that dreadful "y'all". Really, don't get me started ... do 100 centers make a dollarer? and where the 'ell is the "L" in sodder and goff?
Better?

Have you sent the transaction IDs for the enclosure and DHL. Once I did that he answered my emails.

What do you mean?
It's right their in this sentence:?

>>? ?"their" is possessional, "there" is positional, required in this context.


My gripes are mostly about a good technical discussions diverging into multiple threads.
If you do start a new thread on an old subject then post links to both showing where the other thread can be found.?

Those posting without any history for context generally get ignored.
If it's not worth your while to spend 5 seconds including context,
it's certainly not worth it for?thousands of forum readers to go find it.

If anybody want's to pick apart my use of USAish or my C indentation style (or lack thereof), have at it.
I'm quite capable of skipping over those posts too.

And while I'm at it, I've never seen any reason to get comfortable with C++.
It's always been straight C (K&R or ANSII) if I want to code for speed or size,
and for the last couple decades I've been resorting to Python for easy coding.?
This violates my primary beef above, I do try not to be overly pendantic.

If there were only 12 available when you ordered you may have to wait for the next batch. There were 72 when I ordered and I had to wait 1 month for DHL. There is usually a very large queue.

Dave,
mainly because of annoying jumps from the encoder I added the KD8CEC software version 1.08. It is just great for many reasons. Not only solved the "jumping" problems but the RFI problems seems to have gone also - as so far..

all the same it's a problem of v4 ...
I had to shoot a video and post it on YouTube to indicate the problem.
Raj,?please draw on the diagram your mods.

Sorry Dexter, I'm not an english major but I fail to see the their and there you are pointing out.

I hear you there, Larry. It's like the fitful screeching that starts whenever someone brings up Glock vs. 1911, or stopping power vs. shot placement.

I do try to put as much info in my posts when I ask for advice, but the simplest things can be forgotten when doing so. For example, my case is plastic...but sprayed with 2 coats of MG Chemicals "Super Shield" conductive nickel shield coating on all interior plastic. I need to make sure I have some way to verify the end plates and both the top and bottom of the case are electrically connected...they should be, but I haven't VERIFIED it. I haven't verified that the case coating is connected to chassis ground. So yeah, little details like that can make a big difference.

As much as we are supposed to be using the engineering standards, most of us probably aren't engineers and may not KNOW those standards. Then you've got language barriers and cultural differences in an international hobby that can cause specifics to get lost. I think we're doing pretty well, all things considered.

I guess this is why some open source software forums I'm on use a bug report form, so the necessary questions are articulated and not assumed.

Nice clean mod, Nigel...a lot neater than the way I did it.

Does the CW sidetone still work? When I did it it killed the sidetone. I used M1 instead and that fixed that issue. I think there was some discussion about it in another thread. I left R70 alone.

He is reputable, he is NOT Amazon Prime 2 days shipping. Good things take time..

#1. let me say I've been known to stick my nose and many times my foot in place it doesn't belong.
#2 .I lurk a lot -every day read the days' mailbag and read many posts- commenting on a few.
#3. I am seeing a lot of posts where the radio all of a sudden does something unexpected when transmitting or transitioning to transmit.
????? a. No indication if the rig is on a pine board or a metal, plastic case.
????? b. Problems reported immediately indicate --- STRAY RF- IMPROPER SHIELDING- POOR GROUNDS
#4. It's actually in the rules and regulations to adhere to good engineering practices.
????? a. a 3D printed case may not work transmitting but fine for receive.
????? b. what works on 80M may not work on 20-12-10M.
????? c. what works at 5 watts may not work at 10-12-24 watts.
????? d. any mods?
#5. Before posting, as the posts are numerous and repetitive please do a little diagnostics to
???? a. better describe your problem (I have a plastic case, car battery) and environment (ground rod, open wire feed, tuner etc.)
???? b. Is it (transmit problem ) repeatable with just a dummy load.
???? c. Like the quiz show, Have you called a friend?? and has he seen the rig in action --because we have not.

Please don't turn this into yet another dreaded oil thread (Oil Thread- multiple comments (and fights) on Aircraft and Motorcycle forums when someone asks "Which oil?")
