EMGO Weather RX alternative firmware

  • uses Atmel AT90S2313/ATtiny2313 (pin compatible with original AT89C2051 microcontroller)
  • control: channe mode, manual frequency mode, scan, computer control (RX2/EMGO compatible)
  • features Rig RX2 scan function via RS232
  • Center button mode cycling:

    - Channel mode/UART control (default) - blinking left arrow
    - Scan mode - label "SCAN..." and blinking star symbol, if
        squelch is open - blinking exclamation symbol and channel name label
    - Manual frequency mode - 10 kHz step, label "MANUAL" instead of channel name

    Up/Down buttons work in all circumstances.

    3137.400OKE/SICOKEAN-0/SICH M-1 sporadic
    4137.500NOAA-17Off (stalled scan motor), sporadic carrier from Tiros-N, NOAA-6 and NOAA-9

    The converter channels are not scanned in scan mode and can not be selected by RS-232 remote control.

    Changelog:

    The software is released under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2.
    Just flash it to a AT90S2313 (a ATtiny2313 should also work - could not test it) and replace the original AT89C2051 chip.
