Re: Taking another stab at getting my 80m QCX up and running
Michael Maybe distributed capacitance? Not sure how the meter works but the actual inductance is not usually measured, just the apparent inductance. As far as resistance goes how do you get anything

Re: Taking another stab at getting my 80m QCX up and running
I counted turns as I took them off of T1 P1, S1, and S2 - 5 turns S3 - 59 turns. I removed 10 turns from the Toroid to bring C1 into range so I apparently over wound it by 1 turn.? Unfortunately I

I have not received my QCX yet but when I read the procedure for winding T1 my thought was why not wind each one separately?? I have built a lot of kits and wound a lot of toroids and that seems to

Taking another stab at getting my 80m QCX up and running
After much "wailing and gnashing of teeth" I decided to remove the transformer (T-1) and re-wind it. It seems like T-1 is the logical culprit for low receive gain and the inability to adjust C1 for a

It's definitely? a trial in self restraint, LOL. The hand drawn diagram is great and lays it out very well but one does need to be quite dexterous and patient. Hold the coffee until you are done!
