TS-430 Control Board: IC-4 Waveforms

 

TS-430 Control Board: IC-4 Waveforms

Filed in TS-430 on Dec.08, 2018

IC-4 is an 8-Channel Data Selector switch that is used to read the status of various switches or buttons from the front of the rig, as well as the microphone.

The Processor (IC-1) chooses which data input line to read by setting an address on pins 11-13, and setting the Disable pin low. IC-4 then passes the state of the selected input line to the processor on pin 14.

    Issue with TS 430S.

    A CW key will not start the transmitter. Tried a key & pedal sw neither will fire the xmitter. The manual indicates 9v is required.

    Can u confirm this or do I know what the problem is?

    Hi John. 9 volts in not required to key the rig. That is the voltage that the radio presents across the key jack. When that 9 volts is grounded (shorted to ground), that is what keys the transmitter. So all you need is a 2-conductor 3.5mm (or 1/8″) mono (not stereo) connector connected to your key. When the key is depressed, it shorts across this connector and signals the radio to transmit.

    You should hear a sidetone when the key is depressed. The rig must be in CW mode to actually send RF out when the key is pressed.
    Good luck and 73…

Building the W8NX Short Trap Dipole

  Building the W8NX Short Trap Dipole Filed in Antennas on May.31, 2021 For the past five years, I have been operating the lower bands (30, 40 and 80 meters) with a trap dipole that was modeled after a web article written by John DeGood NU3E. [1] While the antenna performed well, a monsoon storm last summer beat it up enough that the antenna wire broke at the center balun. So I climbed the tower and lowered the remains of the antenna to the ground for repairs. On closer examination, I discovered that the relentless Arizona sun had taken its toll on the traps. The insulation on the exposed ends of the coax had rotted away. They were still working, but would need to be rebuilt and weatherized to insure good operation many years into the future. Since I was going to have to rebuild the antenna, I started thinking about whether this antenna met my current needs and wishes. I had been wanting to get on 160 meters at this QTH for some time, but my small back yard would

Yaesu G-450XL Rotator Repair

  Yaesu G-450XL Rotator Repair Filed in Antennas on Dec.30, 2007 In December of 2007, the rope support for the center element of my Cushcraft A3 broke, requiring me to climb the tower and bring the beam down for maintenance.  At the same time, at had been noticing that the rotator control was not indicating correctly, it was very erratic.  So I brought the rotator down for maintenance, as well. The first step was to mark the side of the case, where the top and bottom of the clam shells connected together.  This would allow me to assemble it in the correct alignment when the time came.   Marked Case of Rotator Next, I took the top cover off.  All of the bearings between the clam shells in the depression on the outside were safely stored.   Top Removed A little inspection revealed what the problem was.  The center gear had broken away from the shaft it was pressed onto.  I tried re-pressing it back onto the shaft, but it was too worn out.  I found the phone number for p

JuncTek Battery Monitor MQTT Controller

 I recently installed some 48 volt Lithium Iron Phosphate battery packs at the Ranch to replace the 9 year old Lead-Acid batteries that had started to fail.   eg4-lifepower4-battery-48v-100ah   These are rack-mount battery packs that are intended for powering computer servers.  They are reported to work very well in an off-grid power system.  The Problem I had a problem to solve before the upgrade, in that the old 48 volt inverter I had been using in our solar power system required a programming interface to change its operating parameters to match the new battery specifications.  Unfortunately, the manufacturer wants over $400 for the required interface to make these changes.  I am unwilling to pay this extortion money for a simple device that should cost less than $100. The communications protocol and interface is proprietary, so it would take a considerable effort to hack the interface. There are two sets of parameters in dealing with the inverter/battery connections: 1. The chargin
