External Keypad for Icom and Kenwood transceivers

I designed this PCB for an external keypad for Icom (IC-705, IC-7610) and Kenwood (TS-890, TS-990) transceivers. The PCB quality from PCBWay is excellent, with a sharp, well-aligned silkscreen that clearly labels all components. This makes assembly straightforward for anyone building the project. Combined with the detailed bill of materials and step-by-step instructions I provide, the board is very accessible even for less experienced builders. Pads, vias, and overall finish are clean and precise, and the dimensions match the design perfectly. Delivery was fast and the boards arrived well packaged. Bill of material and building instructions can be found at: https://www.golb.be/keypad-bom-building-instructions/. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I would love to see pictures of your keypad in use.
