Re: #qdx Low RX levels, but not totally gone. Not sure where to look. #qdx
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýAny of Hans kits with inductors I build I tend to tin the coil wires before I assemble them on the boards, this makes sure the enamel is gone and mostly eliminates this issue and you don¡¯t risk damaging the PCB due to excessive heat ? Peter M0PWX ? It does sound like Rx isn't doing all it should. I would suggest reflowing the solder joints on L12, a full 10 seconds on each connection. I recently had another issue with another kit that turned out was just that. Joints looked good, but reflowed them and things began working. That enamel coating can be tough to get off. ? 73,

? The dummy load is connected only while running the self-tests. Sorry to be unclear. It's connected to a 20m dipole when trying to actually receive signals - but I was noting that the noise level doesn't appear to change when I connect the dipole when compared to a dummy load (or even nothing) attached. ? ?
