ChipSwitch code
Has anyone the 15 mtr ChipSwitch code?

Re: ChipSwitch code
Rogerbird might know the password
prob wont do you much good iirc and we talking 20 years ago below 24.7? the display would still go lower but was rx and tx over 25mhz
and the designers couldnt get rid of bad spurs so they locked it out the cpu and they were way smarter than me so i never bothered

Re: ChipSwitch code
Sorry, I do not have the code. It was a 'calculated ' code based on the Chipswitch serial number.
The makers of the Chipswitch technology had a program that would compute the password.
Last time I checked with Bill, he does not have it. Unfortunately the program has been erased and is no longer available.

Re: ChipSwitch code
Add to that - the Lincoln starts going really deaf below 26MHz, so by the time to got to 21MHz it would be a bit pointless.

Re: ChipSwitch code
I found if you repeak the RX it does have a lot more range, at the factory they didnt tune below 26.

Re: ChipSwitch code
I have tried that with a Spectrum analyser / tracking generator / high impedance probe, and couldn't get anything with a remotely flat response if I tried to tune lower - even just for 25MHz. In fact, when I thought I had a better response for 25MHz I found the front end transistor had gone into oscillation.

Re: ChipSwitch code
Anything below 28.000 megs in rx still has that 50? nano watt spur(spurious emission), i thought that was the reason why the chip switch was discontinued , even their engineers couldnt solve the 50? nan spur,

Re: ChipSwitch code
What 50nW spur? In Rx mode ? If it was in Rx it wouldn't be a show stopper.

Re: ChipSwitch code
I thought the Spur was in 15m TX, which was why it was pass-coded by the Chipswitch programming.

Do you have the original programming code for the chips?Rogerbird1 wrote: ↑27 Aug 2021, 17:23The Chipswitch was never 'Discontinued' the Microprocessor blank supply dried up.

Would be super easy to use an arduino in place of the obsolete chips. Would just need the original code.
I'm going to attempt an arduino mod in the near future, it's just another thing in my giant pile of projects to get to.

Re: ChipSwitch code
I think you'd need the source code rather than the programming file. The original device is a Hitachi 4-bit microcontroller which is programmed on an EPROM programmer.ve7xpo wrote: ↑31 Jan 2022, 17:07 Do you have the original programming code for the chips?

Re: ChipSwitch code
And if you didnt know, I have NEW Authentic Chipswitches now. Original program in New Chips. Recently programmed.
