It all works fine for me now, so I am happy. ant,1 makes total sense.
-
I woke up this morning and both my Kiwis are on v1.674, but the DX label switching isn't working now. Otherwise, the Ant Switch is working. EDIT; I have just seen your other post about v1.674 and you have changed the syntax from ant_switch,3 or a…

The syntax works. However; the first time in a browser session it works, but after changing the antenna and then clicking on the DX label it doesn't switch to the appropriate antenna, you have to refresh the browser. I may have to video this behav…

Okay, I can confirm all works perfectly in v1.673. Quick question, is it possible to choose a specific antenna in the DX Label? I can select the extension, but can I also specify which antenna?

No it was away from the header pins. I told you, it was a through board connection, which would've been flow soldered. These sort of connections are prone to bad joints on any multi layered PCBs. Having the BBG in the V1 for comparison readings made…

I have reassembled it all now. When I dismantle it to connect the Antenna switch I will take a photo then. But there really won't be anything to see as it wasn't visible to the naked eye, only to my bench test equipment. There was a through board c…

Okay issue corrected. There was a high resistance through board solder connection on the Beaglebone board on one of the 5v rails. I don't foresee any further issues now it has been corrected, unless Beaglebones are prone to bad assembly issues. Are …

No, not using a relay board with the V2. I don't beleive you can't access the 5V/5VE pins without full disassembly of the V2. The PSUs (there are two one for each of the V1 and the V2) are professionally custom built linear 3.5 amp with toroidal tra…

Problem resolved.

I'm using the Beagle GPIOs and a switch board with opto isolators from Amazon. It draws very little current (trigger current 5ma) and and can be set to active high or low on input. It needs no extra components other than some BNCs. I boxed it up in …

I have to build the new switch, so will see who gets there first.

Notified of Shipping on the 4th, estimated delivery on the 12th. It arrived today the 8th at 10 am. Connected up, configured and updated without a hitch. Online and first 'customer' within the hour. Was just about to install the ant_switch extension…

Oh right, okay. Also just to let you know my UK bank refused to process the transaction twice before I convinced them it was a legitimate transaction.
-
Bit the bullet and ordered the full kit today, order #1231. Didn't see anywhere that mentioned callsign, don't recall being asked that with V1 either. Is it important? Others seem to make mention of it. I presume this will be in the first run?
-
Okay, thanks I guess. Question, why doesn't the forum search return that?
-
Yes agreed that would be ideal.
-
I found unsticking the fan from the PCB and sticking it instead to the side and bottom of the case stopped all the noise. Only slight air movement noise now.
-
Okay I have reduced the noise level. The instructions for the enclosure tell you to remove the foam tape from one edge of the fan otherwise it will be too tall to fit between the Kiwi board and the enclosure base. But this allows the fan to vibrate …
-
I notice the fan is 5 volt but is supplied by the 3V3 supply. I take it that isn't an error? Barney
