Re: 49er transceiver build by W0MNA

Re: 49er transceiver build by W0MNA
Gary: Yes, the new AA will be completely portable, but will allow you to save scans to an SD card, which can then be sent to a PC via a USB connection. Since it's stored as a CSV file, it can be input

Re: 49er transceiver build by W0MNA
Interesting on the two calls. Never thought to look them up. I was lucky and ended up with a call ending in MNA when I started but have over the years modified it a bit with WN0, AB0, WB0 and now

Re: 49er transceiver build by W0MNA
Norbert, I found the case at a hamfest for $3.00. It had something else in it at one time but was empty when I bought it. I was able to use the former front panel as the back panel since it has an LED

Hi! Excellent build, looks very Pro. Where did you get the case ? I see that it has a volume knob and the filter capability sounds like a pretty cool feature. Thanks for sharing the pics. 73s Norbert

I'm not sure where you got the LCD display, but it does look like some of the characters are being displayed correctly. If you bought the display from Yourduino.com, I would suggest loading a sample
