[aprssig] Waveform (signal) on MX614 RXIN pin?

[James Washer]

Thanks for you help... found the problem.. I'd made a last minute change to my schematic, but not to my source code, so RXD was connected to an output pin on the MCU...

As Homer Simpson would say... "Doh!"

THANKS for all your help

My belief is that the chip is (attempting to) scale the signal on pin 6 by feeding back a signal 180 out of phase. The resistor between 5/6 sets the bias, the cap controls the amplitude.. but I want to make sure this is the case.
