Good Day,

Inquiring as I read somewhere in all my reading on here that some of the original QCX classic kits had different cores and where replaced to include "better" maybe cores later on.?

I bought and put together a classic for 40m and it was my first HF radio and my first QSO was on it. I also bought one for? 30m band at the time as an incentive to upgrade from my technician license. Figured i'd build it when i upgraded. Well, in the mean time i have built some QDX's and a couple QMX's but I still have this 30m classic and bama case to put it in. Just upgraded my license two weeks ago and I'm eyballing that 30m classic to build it now.?

Question is:

?

It's a rev3a I believe without checking, do I need to get replacement cores or did it ship with good ones? If i remember correctly it was two different parts sources but my recollection is foggy. My 40m radio seems to work fine so I'm thinking it was an earlier issue but figured I'd ask!

Thanks!

Ryan?
