Foxview3 short review by Benoit

21/09/2010 Foxdigi reception enhancement mods Here
I Just received Friday the 27 of august 2010 my Foxview3
from FoxDelta
opening the Box Received from Dinesh VU2FD http://www.vu2fd.com/ :
Really nice PCB, each set of component
labelled which make assembly of the kit quite easy.
Notice the high quality double side PCB
2 hours Later:
It is done after checking Ground and VCC for
all main Chip.
Easy welding due to high quality PCB.
Let's start the Foxview3 With the LCD screen :
Lets connect Foxview3 to hyperterminal at 4800,8, n,1
and start config FoxDigi:
( Pic 16F88 firmware from wb8wga )
After connexion to a radio foxdigi is perfectly working
sending and receiving beacon, Digipeater mode also working fine !
After this i wanted to test Foxview3 Aprs viewer but was
not able to view any Beacon ...
As my mx614 came from argentdata i was wondering if it was faulty
.... BUT after checking the differents schematic
i notice that in Foxview3 part list a 10 K Ohms R22 was used
instead of a 100 K Ohm used in other item and in Foxview
( R6 100 K in Foxview part list ) in acordance with mx614 datasheet
bettween pin 5 ( RXin of MX614 ) and audio in.
So i just changed this R22 from 10K to 100K and my Foxview3
is
now alive perfectly working with my argentdata mx614 displaying incoming and
outgoing
Beacon
