I looked at figure 15 of the LM340 datasheet, the "shorted input protection diode" is in parallel with the regulator, not in series with it. The diode addresses a weakness of the LM340: ?if the input

Re: My Next Ham Radio Project
It appears the way you have wired it may be causing a double paraphrase short in the transgronifier. I would suggest a dual direction high Mu diode to enable a neutron acceleration lane. v/r Fred

Re: BITX40 package size
Even better go through a fuse and have a standard diode between the fuse output and ground. If reversed the diode causes the fuse to blow. Another cure is to feed the input to a bridge rectifier and

Re: Raduino V1.01 vs V1.14 Birdie at 7.200
I've tried several old versions here on my own BitX40, but I could'nt reproduce your findings. I can't hear any noticable difference with regards to the tuning clicks or noise from the Raduino. So I'm

All you would need is a good ear. Tune in an SSB station, then fiddle with the new trimmer and the regular tuning control for best sounding audio. ?That best sounding audio will also show up in your

Re: Hissing sound
Changing the capacitance at C102/C103 will adjust the frequecy of the BFO, , typically at 11.998500 mhz. Farhan found that with 47pf at C102 and with all five 12mhz crystals matched, the BFO was
