Optima display
To be honest: I don't like responding to this sort of thing on a forum.
Technically the radio is not broken because I think I am correct in saying the display returns to normal after the radio is turned on and off.
If the radio display remains in the state in the photograph...
Thanks Sean, Things are taking their own sweet time.
Suggest you try something else in the meantime if you need a new radio.
it is a work in progress...hopefully while we still have good sunspot conditions!
cheers,

cre8900 program
Docroc, likewize..I was trying to program 10m frequencies and 27mhz into the radio and I just could not get it to upload. maybe there is a work around but it seems you have hit the same wall I came up against. I did not go much further after I removed all sections above 28.305...
cree8900
It seems that if you try to load and frequencies above 28305 which in the expanded mode the program hits a snag.
Try to install only 27mhz frequencies and see what happens.
Take a copy of what is on the radio so you can always reinstall it if required.
Save your programming before...
Antron PSU's
Oddly enough I have a couple of antron 70A supply's that get shut down by a Texas star DX500 running in SSB at about 550w Pep. they can not handle it. Yet 2 of the 70A supplies paralleled have no problem keeping up with a dx1600 at up to 1300Wpep from time to time.
I don't know...
I have a problem with the cre 8900 when I try to program in frequencies above 28.305 while in the 11m mode it won't accept them and the radio reverts to 10m mode and std channels and when I switch back to 11m mode it has also reverted to std and all my frequencies I had programmed in gone back...
send an email to anytone with the serial number of your radio and they should be able to help out. I think the cables are all standard but would not bet on it.
display
One of mine does that too...sometimes it can stay on for 24 hours and nothing and other times after 3-4 hours it will do that. Turn off and on to be normal again. Not quite sure what is doing it but it does not affect the working of the radio as far as I can see..just the display...
balun
The main purpose of a balun is to assist in the matching of an unbalanced (coax) system to a balanced antenna (dipole, quad) or feedline. It allows the power to flow equally into both halves of the system which it may not do if the unbalanced coax (source) is connected to the balanced...
We are working on the Huracan for the hard core freebanders and hams.
That will have DDS for the VFO and whatever else we can do for it, big meter and will basically use a similar board.
But the project will take time as the production models get tried and tested and returned and rebuilt.
