Menu oddities
Each time I press the enter/select button to select a menu setting the tuning fine increment changes. This only happens when exiting the menu. Just pressing select when not in a menu has no effect.

Re: Freq Calibration
¡°The math under the hood in the frequency calibration routine doesn't account for the fine tune frequency offset.¡± I didn¡¯t catch that either¡ any reason for that. Seems a bit quirky¡ Dr.

Re: Freq Calibration
OK, the direct freq entry was the key.? Freq error on 30M and 20M around 4Hz, Which I think is fine. Thanks Oliver Mark KU3O

Re: Freq Calibration
Are you saying that if you tune to 10 MHz and select SAM demodulation, you measure a frequency offset of 190 Hz? A gotcha with the frequency calibration is that it matters how you tune to 10 MHz --

Re: RA8875 display problems with T4.x - a visual study
Yes the T41 radio was designed as a prototype(e-ing) platform. If you make the base radio better for your desires with your changes, that¡¯s excellent. That¡¯s what it¡¯s about. Dr. William J.

Re: RA8875 display problems with T4.x - a visual study
Ok so it¡¯s not really a V11 radio. Did you measure sensitivity the same way I did? The trouble with this measurement is that we need a standard to compare against. Dr. William J. Schmidt - K9HZ
