Re: A somewhat more complete description of my (ab)use of the QCX-17 and QCX-80 transceivers

Bill,
You have external filtering, you tell your QCX-17 that it's something else, and you go to the frequency you want. Do I have that right, or is there more to it?
How do you keep from cooking your finals? Did you reduce your power a whole bunch, like by dropping your power supply voltage? I thought I had read that Class E was single-band because of the tuned circuit. And off-band (or for sure, high SWR) drops the finals out of Class E, meaning they need to dump more heat... until they can't. I must have something wrong... did you figure it out, or just do it and get away with it?
BTW, you're not far away... I'm in Forest between L'burg and Bedford.
thanks,
Dave N3AC

There's also stuff in firmware that tells each QCX how to act !
?So, I need to add 3) because?I just discovered that, by fibbing to the QCX-17 by telling it that it's a QCX-40, CHU 7850 kHz is now coming in like gangbusters !
therefore...
3) If all else fails, see if by telling your QCX-XX that it's, instead, a QCX-YY, as it were,? it gives you the wanted results !
Works for me !
