Thank you Mike, I was not aware of that. John Myers, WG8X

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 #qdx
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 #qdx
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 #qdx
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

QDX arrived
And it¡¯s the perfect size!! Nearly identical to a RaspberryPi. This os going to be fun. Don W6CZ DM07bk

Re: Tuning Rate Cusor
One other thought before sleep.....it could be that heat in a bad connection is causing the flickering. But I have found it it's a bad connection with heat it will cause other issues. As I go through

Re: On the TX signal, 5V tolerant I/Os and Pull-up resistors
Evan/ Fred: very interesting. My problems ended up being the same thing. I moved the QDX over to my Mac and it is performing normally. I have a USB cable with ferrites on order so am currently using

Re: Tuning Rate Cusor
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

Re: Roots of Hans's supply chain issues
A cutting edge chip fab can cost more than $8 billion. Stockpiling inventory doesn't always make sense if your product is subject to frequent changes. Ports are jammed because of at least a half dozen

Re: Elecraft KXUSB with QCX Mini
Thanks folks, I found an adapter?on Mr Bezos¡¯ store. It uses the?FTDI chip set and?has the ability to change TTL level to 3.3v. I¡¯ll wire up a cable and report back. Also sound like the TS480

Now you've just sent five hundred anxious QCX owners leaping to their units looking to see if theirs is doing the same... -- Julian, N4JO.
