<div><div dir="ltr"><font face="Tahoma">The eeprom stores the level settings and is never necessary but might be desirable if you are using the interface with multiple radios. You would mount the eeprom in the connector of each radio cable and store the settings for that radio. Then when you switched cables the settings would follow along with it. If you are just using one radio you would not need the eeprom and even if you were using more than one radio being without it it would just mean you would have to run through the settings again when you changed radios. Without the eeprom level settings are stored in a configuration file on the computer when you run the level setting utility. For SimpleUSB the file is called 'simpleusb_tune_usb.conf'. and it looks like this -<br>
<br>[usb]<br>; name=usb<br>; devicenum=1<br>devstr=1-1<br>rxmixerset=500<br>txmixaset=500<br>txmixbset=500<br><br>The file is created by 'simpleusb-tune-menu' but you can edit it manually if you like.<br><br>Look at the DMK website under support files and there is a description of this. The eeprom is a common type so if you decide later you want to use it you can buy it from Mouser or elsewhere.<br>
