Forget Leesa Juice and Glue Stick PTO's. This is like wearing Big Boy Pants!

This is real homebrew radio, and no kits involved here. You have to know stuff to pull this off! A huge tip of the cap to JF3HZB for a piece of superb engineering. This circular analog dial display has been around since 2019 (maybe earlier), but I am just getting to it!


This somewhat adds a bit of soothing ointment to the sting of the MHST.


This has got to be as Slick as Grace Slick! Sure, dresses up a homebrew radio. The display is an ILI9341. 

In the software nulled out is the "LSB" which I changed and luckily it was written for 40M. I also limited the LO range, so it only tunes from 6.995 to 7.305 MHz, as this prevents out of band operation. I added my call sign to the front panel display. 

Caveat Emptor -- not for 1st time Arduino users!




Search for the software as it is on a Github and ESP Version 2.05 for the Board Manager

Check You Tube for JF3HZB and other implementations of the dial.

Them that know can make it go.

A rookie mistake is to say, "I made no mistakes!" Check your 401K and square that statement.
