This sketch implement s basic SSB radio control panel with the following features: Dual VFO A/B Rotary encoder for tuning, push button to change tuning increment SI5351 Clock generator for the LO and BFO CAT Control (emulates an ICOM IC-746) Split mode support (Split from CAT, manual split requres Nextion touch screen) Settings memory (last frequency and mode are saved) Optional S-Meter

   Controls
     * Rotary encoder to change frequence
     * Rotary encode button changes tuning increment
     * VFO A/B Select toggle
     * Mode select USB/LSB toggle
     * Tune button (emits 10 second pulsed tone at 800Hz for tuning)
     * MOX toggle - puts rig in to Tx/Rx
     * Optional dual-band support 20/40

   Modules for different display types
     * 20x4 LCD
     * 320x240 TFT color display
     * 2.8" Nextion Touch Screen

   Display features
     * Dual VFOS
     * Mode indicator  SSB/LSB
     * Tx/Rx ndicator
     * TuningStep Inidicator
     * Optional S Meter
     * Banner including callsign

   Additional controls with the Nextion display
     * Continuous scanning
     * Split mode

Version 1.4 March 9 2021 Rstored LCD Display Option Compile time selection of S-Meter and Dual Band mods Refactoring of encoder handling

Version 1.3 Jan 25, 2021 Changed CAT module to IC-746

Version 1.2 Dec 14, 2020 Dual Band 20/40 Support S-Meter

Version 1.1 Dec 13. 2020 Ported to Nano Every for more sweet SRAM

•    * Updated interrupt handling in Encoder.cpp to work with Nano Every (as well as UNO/Nano)
  

•    * Replaced SoftwareSerial connections to Nextion with Hardware Serial - Serial1
  

  Version 1.0 Aug 13, 2020 Adapted from SimpleSSB Sketch by N6QW, Pete Juliano and others

  NOTE TO BUILDERS This is a reference implementation of an SSB radio control program for a homebrew SSB transceiver. It is a fully functioning SSB radio control program. While it has been built for my particular hardware configuration every attempt has been made to make it modular in design so that the builder can swap out modules at will. It should be fairly straight forward to adapt to the builder's hardware selection of switches, buttons and knobs or even alternate displays.
