OK guys, I managed to put everything together and so far is looking good.?
It powered up fine, so far I'm noticing that the encoder "step" function is not working when I push it down. It does move up and down with no problems. ?
I can hear stations but they are very low, I hear them like far away if you know what I mean. ?I tried an external speaker and also with the headphones.?
For the enclosure I ended up using an old Netgear router that wasn't working. I stripped everything out and managed to fit the VFO board and the 49er inside. It actually looks good.?
For power I used an SLA 12V battery.
I have not tried transmitting yet.?
I've been on this for a few hours now, tomorrow is another day, Good Night Everybody !?
Cheers !?
