#radiuno External VFO?

#radiuno

John Kemker #51112 I just bought a TenTec Delta 580 that has no ability to interface with a computer.? HOWEVER...it has the ability to add an external VFO. I wonder if a Radiuno could be setup to provide an external VFO for the Delta?? Wouldn't be able to bandswitch, but should be able to tune across the dial with it, at least. Thoughts? -- 73 de W5NNH
Gwen Patton All Messages By This Member #51116 That makes me think of the Purdum/Zia DDS VFO I just finished making work in the 40m rig I built from their kit/instructions. I pretty much rebuilt my dining room into a workshop just so I'd have a good bench to build that radio, BTW. Best article I ever read in QST. ;) -- Gwen NG3P toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Sun, Jun 3, 2018 at 10:03 AM John Kemker <kemkerj3@...> wrote: I just bought a TenTec Delta 580 that has no ability to interface with a computer.?

James Lynes #51160 John: I use a Raduino as a VFO for my 4SQRP ZZRX-40 DC receiver. Works very well. I am using a modified version of Allard's v1.26 software used on the Bitx40. Made a few changes to tune 7.000 to 7.300. James KE4MIQ
Robert McClements #51188 John, I use an Arduino Nano AD9850 external vfo? with my Corsair II, that uses a free turning optical encoder and the Corsair digital display. Currently working on another version with a 20 x 4 lcd display, 2 memories, changeable step sizes and RIT. Also has up/down band buttons?so the lcd shows the same frequency as the Corsair, when on normal sideband. My objective was have a free spinning tuning knob and to avoid mechanical pto wear problems in the rig and external vfo. Using the Raduino with cat is certainly in the realms of possibility but you would?probably need to add a buffer amp and?certainly a low pass filter. 73 Bob GM4CID
