Re: Oscillations on high bands
Since its a SWAG¡ explain why it happens with V69 of the software but not with V50. Dr. William J. Schmidt - K9HZ J68HZ 8P6HK ZF2HZ PJ4/K9HZ VP5/K9HZ PJ2/K9HZ Owner - Operator Big Signal Ranch ¨C

Re: Oscillations on high bands
So that would be a reason for the isolation to degrade versus increasing frequency. Because the module has common ground inductances on the input and output. Just a SWAG here, it's hard to tell

Hi Oliver, where is the schematic of the TR switch? I would like to see the circuit topology.? A few decades ago(!) I was designing TR switches and I'm curious about this one. -- 73 Greg KF5N

I/O Weirdness
Working with the Version 66.9 T41 software. This particular weirdness affects nobody but me.... I use four unused i/o bits to control my homebrew linear amplifier. They tell the amplifier what band

Re: Oscillations on high bands
I ran some isolation tests today. Below is the first page of my report (attached). I have had an oscillation at ~35MHz in the K9HZ 20-watt power amp in my T41 V12 (SW ver 66.4) when I press PTT in the

*** A main board bolted to the back of the display would get that cable length effectively to zero. We could use the parallel interface. Wonder if it's faster than SPI? OTOH, that would marry us to
