Re: What value did you use for R2 ???
Don, I had a 220k provided with my 49-er kit... and I have to admit that I never considered this as an issue for the audio "problems" that have been popping up. Thanks for bringing it up. What really

Re: What value did you use for R2 ???
FYI, I just received another 49er kit from China and it too has the 220k resistor for 2SK30 bias. It also has on the PCB a space for what they call Ro and is screened on the PCB as a 10K resistor,

What value did you use for R2 ???
I know a few manufacturers pump out these 49'ers in China....My instructions showed the value of R2 being anywhere from 220K to 1M. This resistor biases Q1 the FET that feeds the audio amp LM386. They

Re: New file uploaded to SoftwareControlledHamRadio
Thanks Jack.. With all your help and others, and after fiddling with it I checked it against some known frequencies on my 7600.. Mine is dead on.. However I have a new issue.. I'm going to post about

Re: New file uploaded to SoftwareControlledHamRadio
All: Don't expect the Tuning Constant to be precisely on frequency. The floating point math used in the code only has 15 digits of precision while the TC is carried out to 18 dop. The result will be

Re: New file uploaded to SoftwareControlledHamRadio
I thumbed through the calculations and figure it out.. I got mine dead on frequency.. In my case is needed to enter 34.3602763936801857 to get mine to be right on 7025.00. It had been on tuning null

Re: New file uploaded to SoftwareControlledHamRadio
Hi Marty and Steve ! The tuning constant number that we are looking for should look like 34 dot something. I got 34.35876018265670 (14 digits after the decimal point). This is the same format as the

Thanks Marty, I tried to follow what Jack had as far as calculating this and I think I got the TW, but not the clock number.. It seemed my numbers were coming up wrong.. Close but not like your

Re: New file uploaded to SoftwareControlledHamRadio
I ran this into Excel and got 0.0343587601826567 for the tuning Constant. Copy and past values from the spread sheet changes the precision from the cells. Hope that is what you wanted. 73,Marty WD9GYM

Re: My_Tuning_Constant
Jack, I'm having a bit of a hard time grasping this.. In my case my VFO is showing 7025.200, but I need it to drop by 200 to show 7025.00 and align with my signal generator signal. I did the one

Re: My_Tuning_Constant
Hi! I think I have the tuning constant figured out. I was stuck at the end and reading thru Jack's message I saw that the TW needs to be divided by the VFO display frequency on the LCD. On that last

Re: My version of a VFO controlled Chinese Transceiver
The receive is pretty good except for occasional BCI that seems to be common in these simple transceivers. Because I did not have the correct transistor for the final, output is less than a half watt.
