Never mind my questions. I figured out how the 4017 works. In mine I think I will use a 74HC595. It uses three lines from the Arduino but can have multiple output lines high and I was thinking of switching the "other" LPF's with it as well. Again, I'm learning a whole lot by following along in all these discussions. A whole lot!! And I think that's a good thing. I really like that you're bring the Arduino and the ham world together in this project. 73 Dan -- KB9JLO https://sites.google.com/site/on30ng/ On Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 10:59 AM, Dan Reynolds <on30ng@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > When will the radiono code have the bandswitching for this design in it? > I'm not pushing just more curious about what the code will look like. > Are you still using the original bandswitching code & hardware for the (2) > receiver LPF's?
