When first turned on, the software name and version number is displayed on line 1 and 2
of the LCD.
During power-up the PIC checks to see which DDS board is fitted.
The last digit of the version number indicates the DDS chip type found i.e.
version x.x0
If no DDS is found.
version x.x1
If an AD9851 is found.
version x.x2
If an AD9954 is found.
version x.x3
If an AD9958 is found. (note:- disabled in this version until fully
tested with the AD9958)
If no DDS board is connected to the PIC board, or the DDS chip type does not match the
calibration
settings saved in the PIC's EEPROM you will be taken to the DDS CALIBRATION screens. See
below.
After 2.5 second the VFO or memory screen is displayed.
The memory or frequency displayed is the same as that displayed before the power was
turned off.
Any changes are saved to EEPROM 3.3 seconds after the rotary encoder stops moving.
More descriptions to be added here. VFO's, DDS ranges, Bootloader, HRD control, etc

Button functions.
A
A/B
A quick press changes from the active VFO to the non-active VFO. ie, VFO-A to
VFO-B,
or VFO-B to VFO-A.
A long press, copies the active VFO to the non-active VFO. ie, VFO-A to VFO-B,
or VFO-B to VFO-A.
B
RIT / SPLIT
A quick press turns the RIT function on or off.
A long press, turns the split VFO function on or off.
C
RPT
A quick press turns on the -RPT function, the next press turns on the +RPT
function, the next
press turns off the RPT function.
Holding the RPT button down, allows you to adjust the RPT offset for the
current VFO.
Each of the 30 VFO's has its own RPT offset.
The default RPT offset for the 10M VFO's is 100KHz.
The default RPT offset for all other VFO's is 0.0KHz.
D
MEM
A quick press turns the MEM function on, use the encoder to select a used
memory.
You can use any of the MEMORY mode keypad functions.
See "Button functions while in MEMORY mode" below.
Another quick press turns the MEM function off.
A long press, saves the current VFO to a memory, use the encoder to select a
memory to save to.
