Larry hit the nail on the head! 73 Hans G0UPL

Hans does have a major advantage over other firmware developers. He's the developer, the project manager, and the marketing department. I always had marketing breathing down my neck, and they

Dave, He has help. The big issue with SDR is that your not just a programmer as the programming interacts with hardware, sometimes more so than one would be aware of. It has to be the best example

Another way to reduce current is change R48, that determines the backlight brightness Increasing it lower the brightness and the current. The stock 270 ohm is 37ma, increasing to 1000 ohms lowers it

Hi, I am using a battery of 12 cells in series giving 12 x 1.2 V = 14.4 V. The QCX needs 14.4 V for the analog circuitry and for the PA to provide an output of 4 W. The digital circuitry and the LCD

Hi, Reduce the battery pack to 10 cells and the current will be reduced as well as the voltage. Your output power will be reduced but not enough to make any practical performance changes beyond

Good news! My yellow LED definitely pulses the whole time. But since you get the green 1pps pulses you are definitely locked on. I agree, the GPS is very sensitive. It works very well! Happy

Thanks Michael and Gregg for the responses. I should know better than to work on projects at 1:00 AM (or later!!) This morning I connected an old 5V "wall wart" supply. Although I did not see the

Yep. If a code block is never reused in the program, it might be best to do the code "in line". However, I am guilty of writing functions in a program that only uses that code block once. In that

Hi Jack Yes all agreed... though a novice programmer will find the first version easier to read and understand and change than the second "better" version ;-) Use of memset will probably slightly

Hi Hans: Alas, I've probably forgotten any assembler skills I used to have. I spend some of my time now trying to find ways to use standard C more efficiently. Indeed, in my Beginning C book, I spend

FOR THE RECORD Hi, Alan and company That loud BAAAAAA you heard across the pond was a very sheepish Jim. I went in my toy room, removed the NAS carcass from the top of the Elenco XK-500 "trainer"

Thanks Gregg, Found it, did a factory reset (menu 7.8), selected 40M, performed the alignment successfully. 73, August

Hi Fred Ah yes OK. Then Ralf is right, it IS twisted by any reasonable definition of twisted. Apologies. My typo. Even on re-reading it I could see my own error! FR Receive VFO FT Transmit VFO 73

Hans, I suspect that Ralf is referring to - FR: Get/set Transmit VFO Mode: 0 = VFO A; 1 = VFO B; (2 = Split only for Set) FT: Get/set Receive VFO Mode: 0 = VFO A; 1 = VFO B; (2 = Split only for

On mine, the yellow LED starts pulsing. This will continue to pulse, and the green LED will kick in once you get a lock on several satellites. I would try the full 5v. 4v probably isn't enough. 73,

Depending on the firmware version, the factory reset is menu 7.8 or 7.9. Anyway, it is under the 'Other' menu and the prompt will make it pretty clear. 73, Gregg

Hi Ralf It depends on your definition of correct, and your definition of twisted. The description is correct. The TS-480 probably does not quite function the same as the QCX so some changes were

Sounds like 'another job' for Hans... Software Project Manager. 'twice the work in half the time.'
