Volume Pot

Does anyone have a link to a 10K pot I can use for volume control for the uBitx that has power switch. Oddly the one that came with the kit went bad on me. It just freaks out when I touch it and can go from just producing full volume to nothing at all or it just works.

I just ordered a couple of these from Adafruit.

I am using a 50k double pot without a switch on my 3 bitx radios I ganged the two halves in parallel so they are 25k.? I pulled them out of various other equipment. like old computer speakers.?

We don't actually use the onboard switch anymore. We have gone to a separate toggle switch for power, mainly because the rig then "comes up" at the last volume level. That said, our needs are likely different than most other users because we are still working on the JackAl software, so we are turning it on/off quite a bit during testing (e.g., making sure the configuration data in EEPROM are correct on startup).

My guess is a simple pot and separate switch might actually be less expensive, too. FWIT.

Joe,

? I've been using these 10k pots with switches from Mouser.? They're out of stock right now until the end of Nov, though.


Here's a candidate from digikey:??

This Alpha from Tayda is $0.59??

These are all 10K audio (logarithmic) taper with switches.
