Front Panel and Synth Prototype

A project log for PB121

A project to replace the Uniden PB121, PB112 boards with modern counterparts to revive dead radios and overcome mcu limitations.

Unfortunately, Amazon shipped me the wrong breakout board from Adafruit. Not an uncommon occurrence these days. That said, I will likely spend some time to probe and record signals on each of the connectors coming into PB121. Just to make sure I understand them all and what their ranges are. For example, I need to ensure that all voltages are under about 5.5-6.0 V to avoid damaging anything. Some of the signals to/from PB121 are 8 V as is common in VCO circuits. And then verify that certain signals are control voltages versus digital logic.

I will be first wiring up the front panel connections. Everything that isn't the PLL.
