... Pin 7 looks like it can be different things in different radios depending on how the radio is jumpered. Blender's site shows pin 7 as Securenet ...
Hi Skip, I used Pin 19 (P401) of the Common Circuit board. It is labeled as Channel activity. I buffered it thru a transistor. Problem is that while it...

I don't see any reason why it should quit. Channel activity looks like the same signal as Squelch tail, except without the delay closure on weak signals. I...
Hi Skip, I got to work on it again for a couple of hours today. The problem is not with the pin that I was using. The radio is not receiving! Found out that...
Sounds like your receive VCO might be on the hairy edge of locking. You might want to watch the VCO unlock LED and find out where you lose lock. Also make...
... Wow, are you sure you don't want to start with one or do you have one already? I think we have that many left, but I'll give the others a chance to...
Folks, I know XCAT can't do this, but thought the best place to ask. Is anyone aware of progress on controlling the Syntor X9K? There are lots of these on...
Hello all, I wanted to say hello and to ask if the Xcat boards were currently available and if so how much and what comes with them? Thanks, Alan N9QKZ...

Another bullet point for the release notes! HELL YES! I haven't tested full duplex much yet since I've primarily been using it on Echolink, but that's the...

Hi, I looked through the files and messages, but can't find a description of "how" the eprom module replacement portion of the xcat works. Is this information...
