Re: QCX tuning
Never a truer word said in jest, transistors being the fastest fuses on three legs..... Q1-3 & Q6 blown while protected by a F1A fuse, It does put things in perspective what a task it appears to be?

No, a more robust device will reequire a stronger driver device and likely a? revised DC feed.? ?The class E has fairly narrow bounds before it gets to a bad state.?? To protect it use a

Re: QCX tuning
So, in the midst of this discussion, if my finals blow is there a ¡°drop in¡± replacement with similar characteristics but that will withstand considerably more abuse? 72, Charles - NK8O

That might confirm the saying that semiconductors blow fast in order to protect fuses from blowing... 73 Alan G4ZFQ

Re: QCX tuning
The T1 is reported to tune with as little as 0.5 watts, and 2-5 watts recommended. Mine will tune even with repeated dashes. I haven¡¯t run into problems with the QCX-20, but I am using an antenna

Re: QCX tuning
Interesting! With a 3db attenuator installed in a rig that is putting out less than 5w, the power output drops 50%. And that is enough power to trigger an auto-tuner? Sent: Saturday, September 1, 2018

Re: QCX tuning
Hi Matthias, When tuning, the T1 auto-ATU may present an impedance to the QCX that causes excessive current to flow through the PA FETs or causes an excessive voltage across them? One solution is to

Hi Matthias, Sad to hear of the failure, 1/.??? out of interest what supply voltage and fuse value & was it (fast blow or time lag type) did you have? It's strange the number of QSX PA failures,

But as the qrp-guys antenna is also a kit better check that one too ;) Have an antenna analyzer so that would be easy to do. John
