Re: Newbee Q: Are there 'designated builders' for QRPLabs kits?


 

A good portion of that assembly time will be spent winding toroids, checking the turns count, checking the tap is correctly located, double checking and triple checking, then correcting turns count errors.?

I have been amazed at the dearth of complaints about toroid cores breaking. I worked in a couple of shops were wound inductors using toroids and the new guys took a few days to learn to wind an inductor without breaking a core in half. You always knew who the new guy was by the expletive laden tirades following a couple of hours successive core breaks.

Just a quick note. Please, consider that building the QMX kit takes time. Before receiving it, I thought it would take me a couple of hours of work. It ended up taking me about.. 6-8 hours. I'm not a kit builder expert but I'm also not bad a it. Just take that into account when you ask some builder for the price of putting the QMX together... it takes time!
