Small gotcha that needs a software update.If you have completed the build and test it and you get no sound, you probably have not made a mistake.The wrong pin was defined for sound output in the last code build I didDave G8PGO

G0IJM/G8VQM - 21/05/2019 - 14:44

Hi Phil.for your info IO92KN is wigston, blaby,countesthorpe ,foston ect

m0vse - 21/05/2019 - 00:20

Is IO92KN Jack's old locator?

m0vse - 21/05/2019 - 00:17

That's correct Chris. For many years we used the "wrong" locator as the boundary of IO92JP and IO92KP is around the pub area. and I suppose we didn't have very accurate maps back then?

G0WBC - 20/05/2019 - 17:25

I've just put the club area into a Maidenhead locator web site and it comes up with IO92JP.

g8fcq - 18/05/2019 - 19:06
