Re: Raduino v1.18 (improved CW performance) released
Can we add fine tune as a option that can turn on and off in the normal mode settings w/o the "tune" button? I also noted in my Bitx I am about 45Hz off so I either get 40 or 50Hz I can't fine tune

Re: No RF Power Output From Bitx40
Excellent idea Vince! I'll include this suggestion in the "user instructions" of the raduino software. 73 Allard PE1NWL

Re: HELP NEEDED WITH ADDING USB FUNCTION TO EXISTING CODE.
Joe, do something like this: if (USB) // if we are in UPPER side band mode si5351.set_freq((IF + Dial_freq) * 100ULL, SI5351_CLK2); else // if we are in LOWER side band mode si5351.set_freq((IF -

Re: No RF Power Output From Bitx40
Low power tuning? No problem. I used the CW trick (part of the recent Raduino mods) with the 10K resistor but instead of hooking up the other end of the resistor to the raduino, I hooked it up to a

Re: HELP NEEDED WITH ADDING USB FUNCTION TO EXISTING CODE.
Vince, Thanks for the reply. Yes, i have looked at both methods. But no luck in adding to existing code. I tried using code from Peter Flemming, as he use clk2 and clk0 for vfo and bfo. I built a

Re: No RF Power Output From Bitx40
U3 should be: Pin 1 - 5v Pin 2 - Ground Pin 3 - voltage in Make sure you test the voltage while the radio is in transmit mode. U3 will not be powered up unless in transmit mode. If you do not have 5v,

Re: No RF Power Output From Bitx40
Rich KC8MWG MOSFETs will blow from over-current faster than I can reach the controls, but I am old and slow so your mileage may vary. Tune up has always been one of my complaints about the BITX

Re: HELP NEEDED WITH ADDING USB FUNCTION TO EXISTING CODE.
Joe, there are two ways to get USB. The first way is what's offered in Allard's Raduino project which shifts CLK2 to 19MHz. The second way (which I'm going to be doing when life gets outta the way and

HELP NEEDED WITH ADDING USB FUNCTION TO EXISTING CODE.
Hi, Myself and Adrian (VK4L) have been working on code developed by PD8W. We believe it would be a very nice addition to software choices for our fellow hams. It works with an atmega 2560, a SI5351, a
