Trouble with CH5 Code AB1ZK on 11/11/17
Zack,

Thanks for the info. I tried the "work around" for programming and the problem is solved.

If possible, a "cleaner" solution with a permanent fix to the hardware (FET) would be best.

Trouble with CH5 Code AB1ZK on 10/11/17
I have had the PIC programming for beginners for awhile (2010).
While I have used the book to learn, I have not built any projects till now.

I can not get ch5 code to work. The lights do not blink. The message gives a code 202. I am just using the code off the CD.

Any idea's ? I have checked the circuit and the 5 volts is to the chip, but not action from the leds. The leds do light if the 470 ohm is connected to the 5 volt source.

I worked out the information myself, as I received no replies.

Length of spokes on Capacitor Hat :

80 Meter 48 inches
40 Meter 38 inches
30 Meter 23.5 inches
20 Meter 10 inches

Group,

I have been having trouble tuning the 20 Meter and other bands on the AV-680 Hygain antenna.

My "guess" is that the tuning lengths in the AV-640 manual for the capacitance hat are the same for the AV-680.

Has anyone tried the tuning step ? The initial length for 20 Meters is 14.5 inches as shown on the diagram and the length in the AV-640 is about 10 inches.
