QCX 20m - Almost done... can't wait
|
Greetings all; ? ? Well I completed my QCX 20m last evening.? I have had my share of boneheaded mishaps which I take full credit for.? Initially when I was installing the glass diodes I broke one.? I manage to pillage one from a failed QRP project.? Last night when I was installing the volume pot I applied a bit too much pressure on it and cracked the board in the pot.? Net result I have no volume out.? I was able to jumper the leads on the pot to discover I am getting plenty of audio.? I hope to salvage the pot and to get the rig on-line this evening.? I may have to wait until the weekend do get to operate during the day when 20m will do better with propagation.
Hopefully these pictures come through.??
Just want to thank Hans for the continue support as well as providing just a great product.? Other than my missteps it was a great build.? Can't wait to get on the air.
