Re: help needed trouble shooing QCX 40-LCD Contrast
Ken, I'm not sure this will prove anything. If the Si5351 is not working it is either faulty OR it has not been initialised by the controller. I've not looked but I'd believe the schematic, thousands

Re: help needed trouble shooing QCX 40-LCD Contrast
Hi Ken There are two test points just to the left of IC1, I think labelled CLK0 and CLK1. These are used to check that the Si5351 is producing a signal from the two outputs. With an oscilloscope you

Re: U3S & OLG1 new version drifting in Altitude
Improving accuracy could be accomplished by establishing your own local DGPS (Differential GPS station) using a second GPS receiver. The DGPS concept involves using a GPS receiver that is located at a

Re: Transmitter Hang-up
My first thought - check your supply. Check for unusual voltage swing when you're keying. The supply usually has to have fairly low internal resistance for finals to work properly.

Re: Wacky voltage readings
Sounds likely, IC4 is a nice large SMD so it¡¯s easy to remove and replace with nothing more than a soldering Iron and care. If you¡¯ve a pin chuck and a sewing needle you can put them to good use
