Re: TX Problem
Hi Andy, John
There was a request to keep the output on frequency and the TX going, in
FSK/CW mode in between frames, except during the 13 seconds calibration, so
that the temperature would be more

Re: Ultimate 2 QRSS no work
Hi Don
WSPR works fine without GPS. You won't get more spots with GPS or without
it. GPS will calibrate your transmission frequency, and it also will keep
your realtime clock accurate. Without GPS,

Re: TX Problem
Aha - did that feature get dropped in order to meet the GPS calibration
procedures ?

Re: TX Problem
Hmmm, I'd normally expect a decent bench PSU not to create the
problem you've described. But at unless there's a problem with
the PA stage then it does usually point to the PSU.
You'll need about

Re: TX Problem
Hi andy thanks for the reply.
PSU at the moment is a bench supply.
When the kit is boxed up it will have its own 5v supply.
As you said on your last reply it is the DDS carrier that i'm seeing

Re: TX Problem
Sounds like the PSU is the problem.
Are you using something simple like a 5v regulator to power it ?
If so attached a voltmeter scross it under no load and then
observe the voltage whilst putting

Re: TX Problem
Hi John,
When you say does not stop tx'ing I presume you are lstening on a
nearby RX.
If so then what you are probably hearing is the bare DDS output
breaking through at a low level which I think is

Re: Ultimate 2 QRSS no work
Hans,
Yes, big variance in price from China. I saw one at 61 cents!
I bought 2 @ $2.59 ea. from NY. I hope it works!
What do you think? No GPS and WSPR works fine. So says Paul. But, what I have

Hi Don
That made me chuckle! A month or two ago I bought an AVR programmer (USB)
from NoElec for $7.50. It arrived perfectly etc no problem. Later I found
exactly the same one is available direct

Paul "The GPS is not needed"
Good to know about WSPR can work without GPS. What's a good number to start with to nudge the 20 MHz oscillator? Anyway a new GPS should arrive in a couple of days, but

Re: TX Problem
It could be that the chip is not seated properly. Push it firmly into its socket and then try again.

Re: TX Problem
Frame = 10 start = 0
All gnd's are common
PSU Set at 4.9v
TX 14.097100
Output 9VPP
After tx cycle output drops to 2vpp.
If I go into menu between tx cycle then output drops to 0.
Same on all

Re: TX Problem
Ovious question is if there is any RF floating around? and then if all grounds are grounded to common ground.
I have frame =10 and start = 0 for WSPR mode.
You could try this and if that fails, then

Re: error: message
Hi John
To be clear:
I think you have put in your callsign, locator and power into the Message
setting. This is not what is needed for WSPR!
You need:
1) "Mode" set to "WSPR"
2) Your callsign in

Re: error: message
Hi John
In that case, you have to put your callsign "M0ELS" into the "Callsign"
setting, and it will be used for WSPR.
