On similar lines I had written Arduino programs to control using Yaesu FT2000 protocol which is used by all modern Yaesu rigs. The library was announced in this forum in May 2020 and is available from

Wonderful. A new direction for many of us. Great Job. 73 VU2SPF SP Bhatnagar

It is our pleasure to announce availability of the new improved version (v5) of our Color TFT/Touch Screen VFO/BFO for uBitx with CAT , emulating Yaesu FT-2000. It has been tested with WSJTX, FLDIGI,

Alan, PTT goes to pin 26. As of now the cw is not included. The external switches are not needed as all the functions are handled by touch. Even frequency can be adjusted by touch only. Encoder has a

Dear All uBitxers, A new version of software for low cost mcufriend TFT with Touchscreen based VFO + BFOs is out now along with an illustrated manual. This version (3.1cU) provides a row at the bottom

Attached please find the announcement from wsjtx group by Joe Taylor. Please find the mention about ubitx connectivity with wsjtx. I think now the Raduino as well as other versions will be able to con

Wonderful work OM Mike. We all appreciate your efforts in real ham spirit. If I find anything interesting I will point it out for you. Thank you for your great work on consolidating knowledge from var

There is a also design of BPF with lower losses. Have a look at http://www.wa0itp.com/bpf_bandpass_filters.html Happy bitxing Bhatnagar VU2SPF

I have put the details of my TFT VFO + BFO on blog and github. It is a design where standard arduino Mega 2560 is used. The 2.4 inch TFT sits right on top and a specially designed board for Si5351 etc

Please have a look at my blog for TFT touch screen based vfo and bfo. The first version of code should be there soon. Blog is at vu2spf.blogspot.com 73 Vu2spf Bhatnagar

I have put preliminary information on my cheap Mcufriend 2.4" TFT based VFO/BFO with touch controls at vu2spf.blogspot.com More pictures and program to follow. Soon I will be uploading its video too.

In case a toroid is broken and there is no substitute of similar type available, one can replace it with air coil. Online calculators like coil32 provide easy calculations of dia and turns. Use any in

Friends of hamdom, I think bitx is a tool for self enjoyment in radio. All bitxers learned a lot from it. We all have clear understanding that if it doesn't work on arrival its perhaps good for us pro

I programmed a si5351and ardu based vfo + bfo where bfo is also adjustable (a real useful feature to use same box on different rigs). Details are on vu2spf.blogspot.in There are two versions choose de
