the 50k ohm pot


 

I followed the detailed instructions on the 49er board and left the pot out but in one of the pictures I see the pot installed.? did something change?


 

Which pot are you referring to?

I am at work now but it is the one that had 3 prongs and we had to pur a jumper in its place. On the instructions its not there but in one pic with the green bci filter it shows up


 

OK, I recall that part, but I can't find the photo you're referring to. Where is that?

Jack, I think he's referring to the image of the unmodified 49'er in the 49'er DDS/VFO manual.. That little square white and blue pot. That is the one that is not installed on the DDS/VFO..

Yeah, I'm pretty sure what he's referring to. but he says:

I cannot find an image with that pot installed. If you have one, can you copy it to me. I cannot find a picture of the original rig that he describes.

Wow...I never noticed it before. That's Farrukh's rig, as he installed the BCI filter you see between the two boards. I'm not aware of any rigs that still use the pot. We need Farrukh to answer this one.

Hi,

My apologies for extended absence from the discussion forum. The blue/white pot on the "Forty-9er" board in the picture being referenced in this thread is indeed NOT to be installed.?

I had initially built an unmodified "Forty-9er" board and then removed some of the components to modify it to work the DDS VFO board. However, instead of removing the 50k pot, I just cut one track and jumpered it on the bottom side of the PCB. That's why it is still there in the picture. Sorry for the confusion.

73,

Farrukh
