QRPp with the QDX
#20m
#antenna
I added a 20 dB, 5 W attenuator in series with the antenna line and have been running 17 dBm = 50 mW on 20m and 40m WSPR. Quite amazing how well the receiver works, even with the attenuation and also

Re: QDX - rig control error
Ken, Bob Thank you for your thoughts.? I will try to find some time later today to try them out.? Mine doesn't pass the CAT test - the errors come up when the button is clicked and I'm pretty sure

Re: QDX firmware minor release 1_01b

Matt, I have never checked but there should be no reason for it to get hot. Have you checked the voltages on IC5? Someone has reported damage to IC5 after a similar BS170 failure. (Does your magnetic

Re: QDX firmware minor release 1_01b

hi Hans, I burned two of the BS170 without making any action in the Software. I run about 25 QSOs on 40m an 30m . Than I changed to 20m using a Magnetic Loop Antenna. Before transmitting I tuned that

Re: QDX , Lost my TX power
Hi Skip, may I ask you a question ? What do you mean with B+ ? Unfortunately the voltage is not the same on all BS170 . I think thats not good. The IC5 is very very warm even during receiving ! IC5

Re: Elecraft KXUSB with QCX Mini
It clearly uses 0/5V levels but it looks inverted compared to "normal" serial signalling at logic level. The first (leftmost) +5V pulse is the start bit which is always a logic zero, normally 0V. It

Re: qdx l12 inductance
Just out of curiosity and as I did not like the looks of it, I re-did the T2 trifiliar :) Numbers grew a little bit on the Y axis of the graph but almost no change at all on the filter shape I see on

Re: QDX has no power out

Hard work,? I noticed, that IC5 is very warm almost hot, also during receiving. is that normal ? The voltage is not the Same, testing the four BS170. Could the IC5 be damaged in addition to the BS170

Re: qdx l12 inductance
Dennis, Section 6.6 of the manual says it is for the BPF. It also shows a "bad" result that Hans dismisses. Obviously a low LPF will also affect it. A low LPF would show by low power output on an

Re: Elecraft KXUSB with QCX Mini
Hello Rich, I happened to hook up my KXUSB to my oscilloscope a while back. It went between 0v and 5v with it at 0v when idle. I am not sure what the QCX Mini is expecting, but it may be expecting 5v

Re: QDX arrived
Mine arrived today also. I estimate that it took me about 4 hours to build. I'm happy to report that it is working great so far. I built mine for 9v power and am getting 4-5 watts on all bands tested

Julian, I do try to be the "trend setter" once and a while. I am in the middle of seeing if my QCX mini is doing it also. If they're doing it alternately, perhaps they're trying to converse with one
