Re: RA8875 display problems with T4.x - a visual study

The noise floor for the current V12 radio is better than -100 db as measured without the driver chip¡­ My V11 with the buffer chip is nominally -78 db.? That is ok for a test platform (toy level) but intolerable for a modern radio¡­ The new display driver board does not change that -100 db figure because it was designed specifically to buffer SPI signals (in that frequency range with softer on-off switching).

I've been happy with my 4SQRP T41, but I don't have much experience with this.? What's considered an "intolerable" noise level for that radio?

Currently, my partially built v12 has a receiver noise floor 48 dB above my 4SQRP unit.? I have enough experience to know something is wrong with my v12 build.
