For all those people having trouble with the wiring on the encoder, if you are using the info downloaded from the ARRL In-Depth website I suggest you stop trying to use that info.
Go to the Zia website mentioned in the March 2016 QST article and download both the building info and Nano software from that site.? There were corrections sent to the ARRL but I found they were not being updated in a timely manner and it caused me problem.? Also, you can use the software from this reflector for showing the input voltage on the display as it works very well.
When I switched to the info from the Zia website and followed it the unit I built came up flying and worked exactly as described.? Caused me a lot of frustration with the same issues I've been reading about but the Zia website had the corrections and the rig is working just great.
Mine puts out 3.5 watts and I also added the Hi-Per-Mite CW filter from the 4SQRP group plus the AA0ZZ keyer version 2.
Turned out really nice and I have pictures of it in the photos section.
