Well R6, R10, R13,R15,R17 are 1K on the BOM and 2K2 on the schematics, R12,R14,R16 R18 are 2K on the BOM and 3k3 on the schematics. R18 is listed on the BOM but then on the schematics it says "Not Installed".
I know that for you all experts in electronics this is nothing, but for the less gifted it cna get very confusing.
Same happened with the 409er VFO project in a previous QST.
I understand and appreciate the free time that was put in developing a publishing this projects, but the initial excitement of assembling such a wonderful project (and others) gets bursts pretty quickly when things are not working and the only help (manuals and schematics) are inconsistent.
Again, thank you for the time and knowledge, but if it is published on QST it should follow some minimal quality control. My 2c.

I would also suggest the use a code repository like github or bitbucket to allow contributors to easily post code and manuals updates. We have a great community of amateur radio people, we should make partecipation and contribution to these awesome projects easier, ecourage sharing and make user support each other in a more accessible way,

Cheers

Hello, I have assembled everything, but there is an issue with the SD card reader not being recognized. Anybody having same issue? Any solutions?
Also the BOM and the schematics in the assembly manual have lots of discrepancies (resistors values, device types, etc) Which one should we follow? BOM or Schematics?

Thank you
