Re: RF board and BOM differences
Correct. ?That was due to an update. ? Oliver has unlocked the method of locating the old files for you¡ the ¡°Old files¡± directory in each of the BOM, schematic, gerber, etc directories. ?

Re: Help: Audio is pumping on bands 17 and 15.
I've not tried testing this particular configuration, so I'm speculating here. If you don't have any receive circuitry populated then the only signal present to be digitized is the self-induced noise on the main board, which comes primarily from the display. Does the noise get lower if you move your main board further away from the display?
I don't think this is necessarily a problem, it just reflects an incomplete radio build.

The yellow LED next to the reset button on the Teensy board lights up brightly and dimly. And the audio is pumping most strongly on bands 17 and 15 at the same time. What's the problem?
Only the main-board and the RF-board (equipped with a TX only) are connected.

John - A signal generator has many uses.? I use one often.? But if you're goal is just finishing the T41, I would focus on the , mainly the Transmit IQ Calibration where some external equipment is needed.

Thanks Terrance. When you say (see below) that the two-tone signals are created internally now with the V66-9 cal routine, does that mean I don't need the audio generator?
V66-9 can already create the two-tone signals internally from the two-tone calibration routine.?

I have created a file for it that turns it into a two-tone oscillator for testing SSB transmitters.
You can import signal files into Digilent instruments as well.? You can also create custom functions directly in the tool.? Here's my first attempt at creating quadrature two-tone signals.?
?

I still have a lot to learn with this little thing!
?
I've just started playing with two-tone signals with the T41.? V66-9 can already create the two-tone signals internally from the two-tone calibration routine.? I want to see if I can create some useful screens using the receiver side (with the CAL relay on).? The receiver would need to be calibrated first for it to be of much use on the transmission side.? Probably a crazy idea, but things like that interest me.
