Between Computers and Communications radio has become mixing both.
Things like uBitx and QSX are one group and the wild Atlas210X mod another.
The Atlas210X is a fun project taking a second and more messed up 210X and making a modern style radio of it. The unit has no power amp so making one up at the 10W QRPlevel is part of that. The other is the VFO is really bad drifty and has been given the golden screw driver treatment. Lastly it was a parts dog. So cleaning up problems fixing the filters were the start. Atlas used a lot of molded mud caps (X5R) which have terrible Q. Now the item is Arduino display and si5351 NCO are being added.
This is the fun part. Before it was a basic 5 band radio without much in the way of modern features. Using the arduino and all to replace the VFO we can do things like A/B VFO, Rit, Split and even sideband flip along with stable VFO with 1hz resolution. It will be a fun QRP radio suitable for battery operation.
Update when done maybe even a picture.
