I was wondering, if there was any way I could mod my 148 GTL (PC-412 board) so I could xmit some CW on it.
Ive got the extra channel mod on it, and that gives me the very bottom of the 10 meter ham band (where CW is done) and Ive also got my ticket, so Im legal to transmit there.
Ive picked up some CW while in side band around those freqs(well, i can sortof here it in AM mode, but the sideband works kinda like a BFO i guess) and would love to give it a try.
Could it just be as simple as making a mike adapter to connect PTT to a CW key and setting the rig to AM mode? would that work? Also, if it did work, would the constant on and off keying screw up the rig?
Thanks for the info
BTW
I also have a simple frequency counter that I made from a kit off of W8DIZ's site. Its very simple, works with the ATtiny2313 chip, and I can currently use it for testing and xmit frequency, Any Idea how I can hook it up for RX freq display? I realize I may have to make some changes to the firmware, but what points in the radio would I connect it to?
