Below you can find a free, fully-functional, firmware for ATtiny2313: it is the starting point for building an IK1ZYW keypad for FT-817(ND). Please download and read through the User's Manual, that contains important hints for both builders and users.

The free firmware does:

  • Direct dial
  • VFO A/B toggle
  • Power level cycle (5, 2.5, 1, 0.5W)
  • Meter mode cycle (SWR, MOD, ALC, PWR)
  • VOX on/off toggle
  • Mode change
  • 15 onboard memories (NEW!! Sept. 2010!!)

A PCB artwork is available (free) on request.
