Re: T41 V66.4 with Code Revisions
You can check the software to ensure that it didn't get messed up somehow. In BPF_Control.h, make sure that the definitions of the control words for those bands are OK: #define BPF_BAND_10M ? ?0x0002 #define BPF_BAND_17M ? ?0x4000 Then, in BPF_Control.cpp, make sure that setBPFBand applies those control words: ? ? case BAND_17M: ? ? ? BPF_GPAB_state = BPF_BAND_17M; ? ? ? break; ? ? ... ? ? case BAND_10M: ? ? ? BPF_GPAB_state = BPF_BAND_10M;????? break; Finally, check that your definition of the bands structure in the ino file hasn't got messed up. Look for the bit that starts with this line: struct band bands[NUMBER_OF_BANDS] = If all those are correct, then the problem is in hardware. I'd look for a solder short somewhere in this part of the board: The anode of D1 should go high when the 17m band is selected -- all other diode anodes should be low. The anode of D4 should go high when the 10m band is selected.

Re: T41 partially thawed
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýJerry, I plan on building a new Main board with the regulators
and heatsinks on the rear of the board so any heat from them
doesn't go directly to the Teensy. I may try the switchers. My
temp - ~42C in an air-conditioned room, would like more margin if
used outdoors. On 3/17/2025 1:38 PM, jerry-KF6VB via

Re: T41 partially thawed
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýKees, thanks for the input. I have a 40mm Noctua fan for the Teensy and a 30mm fan mounted on the heatsinks. Temp runs 41.9C to 42.5C. I noticed that you're running at 46.4C. I'm not sure that temperature is a major factor since I could previously run all versions up to 66.7. Now most versions only run at 600MHz. I think I still have a library problem so I'll probably do a clean (delete) rebuild of the IDE and libraries.On 3/17/2025 12:25 PM, Kees Mos via

Re: T41 partially thawed
I've had Covid three times now and the second one I used Palovid and it was wonderful. I should have had a prescription for this last round, but for some reason I didn't. Big mistake. Jack, W8TEE

Jack, thanks for the help. I'm still trying to figure out what has changed. All of the SDT Versions were working until I changed the position of the Temp display and compiled. There was a popup message about some libraries had updates and I made the mistake of clicking ok. Every version freezes now. The only exception is Ver50.2 when compiled with Faster and not Faster with LTO.? I reinstalled the IDE and all of the libraries, but they were probably the latest versions, so if it's a new library version, I have no idea which one. I did some more tests Ver50.2 : Version 66.1: It appears that system runs at 600MHz
and freezes at 528MHz. On
