Re: LPF-Control PCB TX Logic at U3 & U7

So I think what you are saying is that either:

?

  1. TX_BFP_SEL is on (=1) and RX_BPF_SEL is off (=0) for TX? ¡­OR
  2. TX_BFP_SEL is off (=0) and RX_BPF_SEL is on (=1) for RX.

?

I wonder how/why that got changed.? There are probably change notes in the program header.? I do know from feedback in this thread that the TX select switches but the RX does not switch¡­

The situation I think we might have is that both TX_BPF_SEL and RX_BPF_SEL are HIGH during SSB transmit. This lets a little bit of the transmitted signal leak through the TR switch back into the amplifier input through the BPF selection stage, like this:

?

These two lines are controller by GPIO register bank A:

This register is set by the function call ; the code there looks correct and unchanged. Scanning the code, it all appears to be correct. Some judiciously placed statements like this will confirm:

Debug("Set LPF GPA state: "+String(LPF_GPA_state,DEC));

?

The fix that I implemented (major change to radio layout) to cure the short that caused the burning smell has created a display freeze issue, so I'm not able to test this myself right now.
