Hey Ian...what cable is used to connect the PC to the uBITX for digital operation? Maybe I'm not reading closely enough.

ReplyDeleteI know you asked this over a month ago, but don't see any answer. As far as I can tell (and I can easily be wrong) it is the normal USB programming cable from the computer to the arduino.
what other cable could it be???
