Push button not functioning


 

Just received the V5.1 - works OK , Transmits, receives - But when I push the push button on the encoder?
I can not get to setup. The button seems to not work, I did measure continuity and it closed when pushed.
Measured voltage and do not see any on ether side.? Also received a 2.2K and 10K resistor with the kit,?
what are they for, or is one of them to be used as a pull up for the push button?

First uBITX kit

Bill K9JUI? Thanks

The resistors are for the Morse key. Do not discard them. See here :

Thanks? Bill K9JUI

If you are sure that the button is working OK and that the wires to it are correct, be sure to check the connections at the other end -- correct pins, not loose, etc. I read somewhere that some of the connectors fitted only loosely. (I am still waiting for my uBitX to arrive.)
Good luck and 73,

After pushing button notice rig will no longer transmit.

After pushing button, turn the encoder to see various menu selections. To choose the one displayed,? press the button again.? you pretty much have to try each one to understand what it does.

Thanks Curt

That was the problem, the red wire was crimped with the insulation making no wire contact in the digital connector.

You made my day -Thanks again

Actually credit Martin with the save. I merely get an assist, maybe. Enjoy exploring the new rig.
