This blog post documents the author's journey building an APRS micromodem for amateur radio applications. Using an open-source design by LY2EN, the author assembled a cost-effective Terminal Node Controller (TNC) with SMD components, an Arduino Nano, and a JDY-31 Bluetooth module. The construction process included PCB fabrication, careful component soldering, microcontroller programming, and Bluetooth configuration. A custom 3D-printed case protected the completed device. Field testing in Romania showed the device functioned with a Baofeng UV-5R radio, though antenna limitations affected performance. The entire project demonstrates an affordable DIY alternative to commercial APRS trackers.

This article describes a DIY RF field strength meter project inspired by VK3YE's "The Squeakie" design. The device, built around a 555 timer IC and a 1N4148 diode, converts RF signal strength into audible tones with proportional pitch. The author enhanced the original design by adding volume control, LED indication, and digital readout capabilities using an Arduino Nano and LCD display. The completed project functions as a versatile RF detection tool, suitable for antenna testing and fox hunting, while offering multiple output methods: audio, visual, and digital measurement display.

The project details the construction of a small, portable **CW decoder** built around an Arduino Nano and an LM567 tone decoder circuit. It integrates an OLED display for output and is powered by a 1200 mAh Li-Po battery. The Arduino Nano is programmed with a modified version of the OST Morse Box firmware, originally based on Budd, WB7FHC's work, provided as a HEX file for flashing. The LM567 output connects to Arduino pin D2, while pins A6 and A7 are grounded due to the absence of potentiometers, simplifying the circuit. Standard I2C connections are used for the OLED: SDA to A4 and SCL to A5. The entire assembly, including the Arduino, OLED, and decoder circuit, is mounted on a perfboard to fit precisely within an old cassette tape box. This design emphasizes portability and compact form factor. Parameters for the decoder can be adjusted using a dedicated Windows Control program, offering flexibility in operation. The resource provides practical insights into adapting existing firmware for specific hardware constraints and achieving a self-contained, battery-powered **Morse code** decoding solution.

Demonstrates an **Arduino-based** solution for the Icom IC-7300 transceiver, specifically addressing the operational inconvenience of switching between a CW paddle and a straight key. The project leverages the IC-7300's **CI-V bus** (Computer Interface 5) to provide instant keyer type selection and two preset power levels, bypassing the rig's menu system which otherwise requires eight button presses. This implementation utilizes the 3.5mm CI-V connector, leaving the USB port free for CAT control and the internal soundcard, a critical design choice for integrated station setups. The system's utility is particularly evident for CW operators who frequently alternate between keying methods during contesting or general operating. The article details the hardware setup, including an Arduino Nano, a 3.5mm jack for CI-V, and pushbuttons for control. An update in 2023 expanded the project to incorporate an 8-button Nintendo controller, enhancing user interface flexibility and demonstrating the adaptability of the initial design for further customization and feature integration.
