Hello the TX136/500 builders,
This new unofficial version 1.13 gives the following changes :
- WSJT-X, or other softs generating FSK tones, is now usable to make QSO.
This is possible with an interface derived from the QRPGuys AFP-FSK Digital Transceiver kit and its software based on the excellent work of Kazu Terasaki AG6NS.
This new feature must be earned because the interface must be build by the OM. But don’t worry, the building is very easy, based on an Arduino nano board and a ttl-rs232 converter module
and doesn’t involve any hardware modification on the TX136/500. the principle of operation and the schema are described in the manual.
- Large improvement of script management, modes hopping or power variation cycle are now possible (see the examples in the manual)
- Some bugs fixed (see V1.13 changes file).
Having no TX500 this software has been validated on TX136.
For the ones who will try it, thanks in advance for your feedback.
73, Patrick F4GCB
