Hi Pete,
the problem with a .hex file is that it will contain my callsign, not
yours! You will need to compile your own, however, if that's what
stops you from making a transmitter or a general purpose QRSS3 keyer
like this, I could program a 12F675 pic with your details and send it
to you. Or, if you have a pic programmer, I could compile the code and
produce a .hex with your call. Or, I can just send you the code and
you can modify it to suit your needs :-) Let me know.
It's funny, my 807 transmitter combines "hollow state" technology,
microcontrollers (keyer) and DDS (VFO) :-) Oh, I use an IRF720 to key
the
807 (cathode keying is tricky), I think I could eeeasily get 20 W
out of the IRF720 in class D/E. But that wouldn't be fun!
