Well, if my dad were still here ( W4MAI - sk 2006 ), he could tell you about how a single 8-bit accumulator would fill an entire equipment closet :0) Many years ago, he worked for IBM? somewhere in

Yes, "we" are. Simply put, it was fun discovering the parameters of, and avoiding running afoul of Hans' encoder debouncing state machine as I experimented with the "My_encoder_de_N4QA" PC app. 72 /

Re: Panadapter

Simon, Michael, They will be IQ signals but the QCX is not intended to be wideband. I'd think C4,7,43-46 would really need reducing. 73 Alan G4ZFQ

Re: Panadapter

Hi Michael, I've tried it from IC5 pins 1 and 7 and it did seem to be baseband audio at that point. I got at least 0 to 24kHz bandwidth feeding my homebrew panadaptor. It was a little experiment into

Re: Qrp-labs and a Huff and Puff circuit board

Re: Grounding shield of GPS cable
If you connect one end of a cable shield to ground, you create a Faraday Shield ( Google it ) and having only one end connected to ground prevents spurious current loops creating noise. You must of
