Re: Oscillations on high bands
Hold the press! I was not checking the high bands. I see the oscillation on the 10m band. Back to investigating...

Re: Oscillations on high bands
Hmm. I have now restored my radio to the point where it's working (mostly; sometimes display freezes get me) and I don't see the oscillation when transmitting in SSB mode. I am running commit

Re: Oscillations on high bands
Compiling now. I did find the calls in setupSWR() that would have messed with the BPF and comment them out. Just tried it. It oscillates :(. - Jerry

Re: Oscillations on high bands
Jerry, please try the latest commit I just pushed to GitHub. I removed a call to setupSWR() that I am concerned might have messed with the registers: https://github.com/KI3P/SDTVer066-9

Re: Oscillations on high bands
I think this is the commit of a version that has no oscillation if you want to do some git diff'ing: 22385bc73b1046f1b095800e5b5009398fb4d57f My screen freezes seem to be happening less often for some

*** That's mostly a hardware thing. When you read the register, do you get what you wrote or the current non-driven state of the pins? - Jerry, KF6VB

Re: Oscillations on high bands
Looking at Ver66-09, I have changed the calls to setBPFPath() so they are the same regardless of CW/SSB mode. No difference, still oscillates :(. Of course, it's still possible for code somewhere else

Re: LPF-Control PCB TX Logic at U3 & U7
No problem¡ Jerry just confirmed it¡¯s a software bug that got in between version 50.0 and 66.9. I¡¯ll let the software gurus figger out where the bug is. There are plenty of ya here in the forum

Oscillations on high bands
I just downgraded to V50.0. No oscillation. So it is a software problem. "Ver 063-1-beta" - oscillates. "Ver 066-7-SWR" from 3/5/2025 - oscillates "Ver 065" from 2/20/2025 - oscillates "Ver053" - does

Re: LPF-Control PCB TX Logic at U3 & U7
My testing indicates this is the problem area. I removed C18 and the problem went away. Obviously, as Bill indicated, this is not a fix. I think that the state of the switches (U1, U8, U3, U7) in SSB

Re: LPF-Control PCB TX Logic at U3 & U7
Its not a hardware problem. The radio has been working fine until recently when some software mods were made. Use some sound deductive reasoning here. This problem did not exist a month ago with any

Re: LPF-Control PCB TX Logic at U3 & U7
So I think what you are saying is that either: 1. TX_BFP_SEL is on (=1) and RX_BPF_SEL is off (=0) for TX ¡OR 2. TX_BFP_SEL is off (=0) and RX_BPF_SEL is on (=1) for RX. I wonder how/why that got

Oliver, I was having some kind of feedback/oscillation problems a couple of weeks ago and traced it back to the T/R switch also. The relays and associated parts all checked out but, when I removed the
