Hello the TX136/500 builders,
Many thanks to Juha and Matti for the great quality of their kits.
In addition to the hardware efficient design, the open access to the source code is a real temptation.
Also during a wet summer in France, I enjoyed to do modest improvements on the TX136/500 software.
This unofficial version 1.05a changes :
- added QRSS beacon mode 1 to 120s
- added DFCW beacon mode 1 to 120s and dash shift 0.1 to 5 Hz
- display and set frequency with 1 Hz step
- frequency range according to IARU bands (135.7 to 137.8 KHz for TX136 and 472 to 479 KHz to TX500)
- cw up/dow, freq+/- and rf pwr push buttons are disabled during beacon tx.
Of course the beacon operation is unchanged compared with the official version 1.04 and the TX136/500 remains a stand-alone device.
Having no TX500 this software has been validated on TX136.
For the ones who would wish to try it, thanks in advance for your feedback.
73, Patrick F4GCB
