Re: Arduino For Idiots?
Larry Smith
YouTube has a lot of videos. I started out with: He has a series of lessons that I think are good. Usually the right side of YouTube for this subject shows what's next. Also other sources of info. I purchased from Ebay a kit of experiments from China that included a UNO powered from 9v. battery plus various sensors etc.. Kits like this run about $35-$45 or more depending on what you may want to explore down the road. The Arduino web site has the instruction set defined. With a 9v. battery and < two square feet of table top you can start to learn. These devices can get addictive 😀 HiHi Keeping good notes in a dedicated notebook as I found helps! 73 Larry WA9DOH

just put up the monster - 80M OCFD into the trees - 30 deg F and 6" fresh snow- perfect antenna wx! - will be listening 7.277 to 7.278 unless someone wants to try another band. Should be on all day now.

I was on for the last 40 mins, made several CQ calls with
nothing heard. The band seems kind of dead with lots of QRN hear in the
Chattanooga area. I'll try again at 7PM

I just wanted to add that I have a special spot for what I consider the proper use of trinary's like what you have done.
Nothing more to add, keep on keeping on! 73 Rob AG5OV

Re: Arduino For Idiots?

I like the sound of the word "kid" and wish I was there (veteran at 79, call sign KF3E). Just recovering from heart surgery and gave up an IC706MK2 G in the process. Just ordered moments ago my very own uBITX. Very impressed with the web and hub stuff, very good validation of the gear. Looking forward to a long and prosperous build and a lot of time on 20m and PSK31 among other qso. Thx for allowing me to come aboard. 73 Ron Hawks KF3E Hixson, TN

Any plans Ian to add local oscillator
setup values to μBITX Manager, so that we can align the two IFs. Measured mine and found 56,994986 USB / 32,994993 LSB. 73 Nikos SV1IYF

Re: Arduino For Idiots?
Steven Read
From the sound of things it appears there are at least 3 of us in this conversation about the same age. I am the “kid” at only 66 years of age. I have been looking at getting a BITX20 (or possibly the 40M variant for some time.) I am going to have to start soon because my hands are getting less steady & my eyes less sharp. From my experience with my wife’s robot my first suggestion is to make careful notes (both in the form of a notebook & comments in the files you create) & create some sort of scheme that works for you to allow you to easily compare your current work with what you did last week (Windows 10 has a file history feature you can turn on or if you want something else you can do something like creating folders with a suffix of yy-mm-dd — the date you are working on a particular idea.)

Re: Icom HM-103 mic with uBITX
R. E. Klaus <reklaus@...>
I do not own a HM-103, but looking at the wiring diagram for it, it should work well. The bias voltage for the mic element is supplied through the coax to the mic element. I would make an adapter to plug the RJ-45 style connector that is on the mic into with 1/8" phone plugs on 2 pigtails rather than cut it off.

Thanks for posting the link - I did not know about this site. My uBITX arrives next week so the timing of your post is perfect!

If "Skunk Works" proves unusable, how about "Termite Terrace"?

Many companies and people use the term to illustrate a type of behavior and not to refer to Lockheed. Just as it would be interesting to see if the Google trademark would hold up as they have let it become a verb. Trademarks must be defended or they can fall. Also, I believe, in the US first in commerce and not first to register establishes trademark. Yes, one can have two of the same names if they exist in two separate industries, especially if the individuals are not in the others’ industry. Of course, what do I know.
