Even if you zapped it , you'll get if fixed, no doubt. Hey, I wish I had a nickel for every time I plugged something in backward. You just proved you're human when you did. Welcome to the human league ;-) If I were to make a guess, your audio chip is the thing most likely to have gotten zapped but I could be wrong. 73 de AK4JA

Thanks Bobby, so silly, I thought I had it right, no idea how I did this. Feeling a little defeated. 😁

Re: I was cruel to my cricket 40

Might have. I don't see any reverse polarity protection in the schematic online. I hope that there was a diode added in later models that would have prevented a reverse polarity damage situation. Those that have a better knowledge of the circuit will be able to give you a better answer. 73 and GL AK4JA

I should have specified, my victim was a cricket 40.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! keep it SAFE. Last evening was the first time I've been able to hear the 4S net, on either 40m or 80m. BIG surprise. Johnny's sigs were exceptional here in nw TN. not quite so good on 80m and they were on 40m but still easy copy. 73 de n4mj//glenn “PLEASE REMOVE all email addresses before you send it on and use BCC option when forwarding" Thank you!

Johnny,

That was some rough copy ! Although it was quiet your signal wavered between barely readable to non existent and it threw me a curve. Even so, over a 1,000 miles @ 5w on a piece of wire ? Thanks for hanging in there for me. John

Re: S Meter circuit or power out circuit for the Bayou Jumper
KY6R <KY6R@...>
Thanks Jeff - fantastic idea. I have built field strength meters before - and can use the same circuit again - and keep its antenna as a wire "close" to the tuner. I have the QRPGuys EFHW tuner kit - that would supplement the Bayou Jumper and Souper Upper nicely.
73 and Happy Hoidays! Rich KY6R

Ge All: Happy Thanksgiving! I will call both nets again tonight. 40 meters seems to be long as usual. Listen for me on 7.122 as WQ5RP. Hope to cu all either on 40 or 80 Meters! 72 Johnny AC0BQ

Re: S Meter circuit or power out circuit for the Bayou Jumper
Greetings Rich - KY6R, Might I suggest you look up field strength meter circuit on google. The field strength meters is a simple build and will show you are transmitting during key down. Hope this helps. 72, de Jeff K9JP

S Meter circuit or power out circuit for the Bayou Jumper
KY6R <KY6R@...>
I will be building a Bayou Jumper and Souper Upper soon - and would like to add a meter - either an S meter or a power out meter. I'm guessing power out would be easier - but am not sure. This doesn't have to be perfectly accurate - its for "show" - to have a needle move either for RX or TX.
I guess since its crystal controlled and I will most likely use it to demo on just one or two nearby frequencies - maybe a circuit for the S meter would be best. Even if the circuit is a tap off the audio amp - something to move an old meter - that would be cool. I'm a software guy - and while I have done a lot of maker projects - and kit projects - I have never designed a circuit before - so I would appreciate some help. 73, Rich KY6R
