Re: Acrylic Case Source
I've been trying to find a suitable case here in the UK. I can ship from the Container Store store in the US but I'd be absolutely crazy to do it. The case would cost me $10.34 (purely because i'm in

Re: Adding a Software Keyer
Chuck; I think that you should write up this keyer mod and submit it to ARRL for possible publication in QST! This 49er/VFO, I would guess, has been a popular build project, and guys like me, would

Re: Forty-9er Transmitter
Thanks a lot, Mark. After work I will scope Q6 and probably swap for a 2N3904 running with 12V tops. I will let you know results. Bob

Re: Forty-9er Transmitter
I think you meant the collector of Q6, not "D6" Marc(?)... Cheers, Jim, ab1br

Re: KY-040 encoder threaded for mounting?
I have quite successfully used these encoders from China and by carefully dismantling have been able to remove a tiny ball bearing to end up with a smoothly turning frequency controller for my SDR (no

Re: Adding a Software Keyer
Hi Chuck: No need to "hide" Glen's work. Indeed, I met him two years ago at the Four Days in May conference that takes place each year in Dayton just before the hamfest. He's an interesting guy. BTW,

Adding a Software Keyer
After I built this fun project, I thought it would be interesting to add a software keyer. I looked around, and found some simple iambic keyer code in that other Arduino for Ham Radio book (published

Re: Forty-9er Transmitter
Bob: I also had the same problem with both of my 49ers. The first one was a blown driver transistor, Q6. It would work for a few minutes and then..... no output. I placed my finger on the transistor

Re: Forty-9er Transmitter
Been reading about the VFO output level, so I took my scope to it. I set it to its lowest level of about 400mv and the rf OUTPUTvoltage level was very low. The heat sink remained cool. Putting it back

Re: Forty-9er Transmitter
Thank you, Jim. Based on your clue, I lowered the signal on pin 6 down to 250 mV PEP, but still have my click. There is still a fly in the ointment. I hate flies. Bob

Re: Forty-9er Transmitter
HI Jim: I wish I could be of more help, but like I said, in lack the knowledge. I will forward this to him. He just started his semester so I know he's busy, plus we're working on a new project, too.

Re: Forty-9er Transmitter
Hi Bob, I've mentioned that the data sheet for the NE612 specifies 200mVpp minimum to 300mVpp maximum for the NE612/602 L.O. input (pin 6). Using the buffered output on the DDS VFO, I was only able to

Re: Forty-9er Transmitter
I programmed the ATTiny85 first with the Blink example and it worked blinking 6 seconds on and 6 off. Then I tried CapSenseKeyer with a board from a friend and no joy. So, I studied the code and

Re: Forty-9er Transmitter
I will test voltages on both sides of L3. After work I will take the rig apart. It would be nice to have a few test point values from a working rig to help isolate the culprit. Bob

Re: Forty-9er Transmitter
OK. I just wanted to be sure you weren't using the code for an Arduino. Let me review things tonight...probably will get back tomorrow. Jack, W8TEE To: SoftwareControlledHamRadio@... Sent:

There's only one file and it appears to be for both. Bob

OK...found it. Are you using the code with the Digispark or the "raw" ATTiny85? Jack, W8TEE To: SoftwareControlledHamRadio@... Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2016 4:02 PM Subject: Re:

Re: Forty-9er Transmitter
In case that was the cause, I replaced the D882 with a BD139 from W8DIZ. Same problem. Bob
