After a year on 20m,? I have decided to convert my Mini up to 40m.?
This looks very straight forward as the toroid cores are the same, just a question of rewinding them all appropriately.
On the caps, I think I might just just snip and break the ones that need to be replaced, then solder the new caps onto the old legs. The hope is this will save the PCB pads and this would also allow a much easier band change in the future, if I ever go there.
I briefly considered using PCB pins for both the caps and toroids, but it is probably now both perilous to the PCB and complete overkill. I might have considered it on the initial build.?
Has anyone else converted bands on their QCX?
