It is apparent I will someday down the road want the software upgrades to my four QCX transceivers.? I realize I can always buy new programmed chips from Hans to do this.? I feel much at ease knowing this, and have no problem ever doing this.? However, I must confess I am a super dummy knowing how to do this myself using the suggested programmer to upgrade my software myself.? What I am confessing here is I know absolutely nothing about this.? NOTHING! Yet, I am a pretty good tech at trouble shooting traditional none software defined QRP radios.? I am also in no rush to upgrade my QCX radios.
That said and time is not an issue, is it possible someone on here could write a dissertation for DUMMIES (not dummies but DUMMIES) on how to do this leaving no stone unturned?? I'm talking about minute step bye step instructions on what to buy, how to hook it up, how to download the program, and then how to install and upload it to the QCX.? What I am saying is, leave any step out assuming the user already knows this step would leave me in the dark.? Maybe if a paper like this would be written down the road I may be able to get out of the Dark Ages.? This would not have to be done overnight, but it sure would be a goldmine of information for me.? Maybe there are others like me out there too and the paper would be helpful to many.? I see some of you guys talking about these locally done upgrades and I get lost reading what you are doing bye reaching your second sentence.? I don't have much more then a clue.
I am a member of a few other QRP groups, so please don't tell anyone on those reflectors how ignorant I am to all this programming stuff!? (It took days to get my courage up? to confess this lack of knowledge to my fellow QRPers!)?? A paper like I described might be the best reason for owning a QCX transceiver in my estimation. (Tell me I'm alright, everything is OK, and I'm not alone!) Seriously, I would welcome such input if ever made available.? Every time I started to try and understand this,? the info I was reading would always assume I knew something and this has always got me stopped in pursuit of further knowledge of the subject.
