Schematic and Board Layout

There are two chains of low-pass filtering. (One for TX, one for RX) These filters are a 3 pole filter with a "knee" of approximately 4kHz. There is a 25 turn potentiometers for fine Receive and Transmit Audio level adjustment. and a DB-9 connection to the host repeater. RSSI support built on-board, as well as 'clip' circuit to help with RX level adjustment.

SWD - Serial Wire Debug

ARM's Serial Wire Debug (SWD) replaces the traditional 5-pin JTAG debug interface by introducing a 2-pin interface with a clock (SWDCLK) and a single bi-directional data pin (SWDIO), providing all the normal JTAG debug and test functionality, anyhow dayisy-chaining devices as via JTAG is not possible. SWDIO and SWCLK are overlaid on the TMS and TCK pins, allowing to use the same connector for JTAG and SWD. In order to communicate with a device via SWD, data is send on SWDIO, synchronous to the SWCLK. With every rising edge of SWCLK, one bit of data is transmitted or received on the SWDIO pin.

Jumper J3 has six pin for the Serial Wire Debug connector

Installing an oled Display

There are two variants of the SSD1306 display, one running on SPI bus and the other on I2C. f5uii discrible how to install the i2c variant.

Installing a Nextion dispay

Probably the easiest way t do the is using a USB to Serial Converter. See link below.
