Well team,
I find myself so near but yet so far.
I have D5 or pin 11 of the processor connected as per the schematic to
drive the RX LPF switch. I also have another 4K7 resistor from D5 to one
of my 4028 inputs.
When my D5 line goes HIGH (as the tuning passes 15MHz) my RX LPF switch
operates but the voltage on the 4028 is just too low to make that
transition. So I have tried a few alternatives including a PNP
transistor to switch the +5V line but that seems to be suffering the
same problems in that the voltage on the collector isn't doing as I
expect (presumably because I dont understand what I am doing).
Can someone cleverer than I suggest how I can get my RX LPF relay and my
4028 to function on the same digital output (in this case D5) from Ardunio?
Pointers and suggestions very much appreciated before I try the larger
of my hammers....
