Yes, that was the first writeup I found when I was looking for something else at his site.? After trying the same module (10 years newer version) and having different results, I chose to post here to see if anyone else had actually tried it.? The author was apparently able to get adequate signal to the module through a 27 pF capacitor at the input. No such luck here.? ?An odd thing about the module he used is that the digits must have been a bit smaller than those of the current modules because the 6 digits of the newer modules will not come close to fitting the width of the dial opening in the R4C front panel.? ? No problem on the lower bands where MHz requires a single digit, but on the higher bands I'd be missing at least half of a digit in width. ?I chose to mount the module in an external case sitting on top of the receiver.?
