Re: QCX 40m - Audio
Hi Curt,
That is an option. I think the damage occurred while using the solder
sucker, I was careful not to overheat with the soldering iron. Those tracks
are so thin (A few tenths of a millimeter)

Re: Band Pass Filters- more bandwidth?
You could also use the AADE Filter Design program (http://w1hue.org/filter.html).

Re: Band Pass Filters- more bandwidth?
You could use the Elsie Filter Design program; the free version can use up to 7 components.

Re: Alignment

Very carefully look at that 4 winding coil that feeds the receiver, make sure each winding matches the picture. Any that are backwards would mess up the phasing. If alo this looks good, well,

Re: Band Pass Filters- more bandwidth?
Ryan-
looking st the manual, that filter should be plenty wide. I'd check the two coupling caps for value and connection. maybe just add 5pf in parallel and see how it sounds

Re: Band Pass Filters- more bandwidth?
Ryan-
Try tuning one(C1 or C6) cap a tad low and the other(C6 or C1) a tad high. For example, peak C1 at 7070 and C6 at 7130. This will stretch out the passband.?
Have fun!

Re: Waiting List.

I remember a couple weeks, and this was before the QCX frenzy. Your time may vary and your order was only a few days again. One day you will be surprised by a small box from Japan in the post.

Band Pass Filters- more bandwidth?
I'm using QRP Labs filters in my bitx40 (it's now and agile!) and while I mostly use digital modes, sometimes I like to use SSB too. The bandwidth on the filter isn't very high, and so currently I can

Re: QCX 40m - Audio

Pause and lets not concede yet. I envision you making those 8 connections somehow, with separate wires. Install the toroid on a piece of perf board, anything to hold it. How the wires run

Hello Nigel,
Nice enclosure, very neatly done, if you don't mind me saying so?

Re: QCX 40m - Audio
I thought there is much talk about T1 let me remove and rewind. That
basically reduced my QCX to a Beacon unit. The tracks are so fine that
damage was inevitable. Not all is lost. The transmitter is

Re: U3s was working with one BS170
I would echo the compliment about Optivisor magnifiers. I got mine, a 2.5X from my father-in-law. Later I picked up a 2nd one that was a bit stronger¡ªabout 3.5X I think. The nice thing about

Re: QCX 40m - Audio
Regarding poor gain, I fixed a friends QCX and the problem was two
resistors swapped, a 1K and a 10K that made the gain very poor. I think
-90dBm was the weakest I could hear with the fault, and

Re: DC green connector -- how does it open?
I had a tough time with seating that T1. Winding it wasn¡¯t bad.
Before removing T1, did you go through the alignment process?
Do you have a decent antenna?
Make sure all the T1 windings are

Waiting List.
Greetings folks -?
I ordered (order no 13768)? a U3S, 600m LPF, QLG1 and enclosure kit on 26th October.
Going by the popularity of these kits I assume that there is a waiting list.

Re: QCX 40m - Audio
Hans you did just great with the audio gain, I'm hard of hearing, and having enough volume is really great.
Eddie I'd definitely double check T1 too.
