Pic Programming ? Upgrade old radios?

[N1LAF]

We should resurrect this, but maybe at a more technical forum. PICs are dirt cheap, and the DDS chips would make a great pair.

Speaking of... I have a 1011D that needs to be worked on, alignment-wise...

Jerry and Paul had a thread about this, IIRC...

Cool I will look for it.

Yes I like to see a technical thread of microchips and radio combined. There seems to be endless ideas on how to use them in radio hobbies.
I have both the 1011C and D. My plans was to install this and set it to give 500kc steps starting at 28 MHz.
These radios are easy to work on if you can get rid of the drift.

Continuous tuning output from 28.000 Mhz to 29.000 Mhz with fine resolution of 0.2 Hz may be possible.

VFO output 22.5 Mhz to 23.5 Mhz for the 28Mhz to 29 Mhz range.
Auto-detect of LSB/USB/AM selection/offsets
Programmable display offset, so it can be used on other radios as well. The display offset can be stored in the PIC EEPROM user memory.

Aligning that boatanchor can probably be accomplished at your neighbourhood Pep Boys. :rofl:
