Re: U3S power out on 630M
Tim/David,
My U3S puts out around 4 watts with the PA Kit measured with a DSO into a
50 ohm dummy load. I did not know about the wsprnet convention of using
EIRP.
Thanks for sharing!
I have an 18

Thanks Mick!
Just what I had in mind...and BTW it printed at actual size just fine on my first test print.
As an aside, I laid it over the top of a QRP-Labs blank case that I have on-hand., and it

U3s first wspr
I finally found some time to play radio today and so tried the U3s that I built recently.
I have it built with a 25 turn inductor, three BS170's fed with 9v for the PA, no heatsinks, with 200mw output

nice work - thanks for sharing pictures!?
actually you may be getting more output power than most of -- 3 watts tends to be normal (per manual) at 13.8 volts.?
Beware - go it practice

yes those snap-in switches!? note the connections are to hold the part on the board (long enough to solder) as well as electrical connection.? it's a feature - a rare part that won't fall off

Re: U3S power out on 630M
Thanks David. I actually sent you an email last night regarding your 472
kHz amp kit/board.
I will most likely put up a Marconi type antenna for this band. My wife

Re: U3S power out on 630M
Thanks Hans. I had read that mod information but it seemed to only show
the power out after the mod. I wanted to make sure I didn't have an issue
with the lpf possibly before doing the mod.
Great

Re: T1 wire gauge and length?
Oops, that should read 28 gauge and not 30 gauge wire supplied in the QRP Labs kits. Sorry!

Thanks guys,
I am finally building up several items I¡¯ve ordered this last year. Didn¡¯t realize it wasn¡¯t square. I built a Progrock and QLG-1 last night. Hope to get the clock done today,

Hello Tom, Eddie
Many thanks for the nice comments - very much appreciated.
Tom - PDF attached.? Please bear in mind various printers do not always print exactly the same dimensions.

Re: Kit building
Hi Seth
The footprint isn't square. You can only comfortably fit the button onto
the PCB in the correct orientation.

I am not familiar with protocol for these micro switches used in basically all the QRP Labs kits, I have to assume them being 4 pin that there is a right and wrong way of installing them?

Re: T1 wire gauge and length?
I built a 40m QCX and my notes from the build were you'll be winding 53 turns essentially and that calculates to 2.56 feet or ~30 inches. I allowed 7 inches for each loop (3.5" out and 3.5" in) and 2

Re: U3S power out on 630M
Hi Tim.
I changed the capacitor from 10n to 100n and I get somewhere between 250 and 300mW on 630m with a 5V supply and a single FET
In reality you will probably need an amplifier as 250mW into an

Re: T1 wire gauge and length?
Hi Keith,
I've just measured the piece of wire from my kit (I'm a few transistors
away from winding the toroids) and it is 208cm long. As this is enough for
L4 as well it should be plenty for T1.
