Re: How much heat is "a lot"
The BNC jack I was prepared for -- I've built two antenna kits with BNCs and those jacks just suck down SO MUCH HEAT. The DC jack, I probably should have been prepared for :-D I never doubted Hans, I

Re: QMX doesn't receive on 20-15 #qmx
I had the same problem, I replaced IC402 and everything became normal. I think if you use PA50, then IC402 will definitely burn out again. I use PA50 with 15 volts

Re: How much heat is "a lot"

Re: How much heat is "a lot"
Desolder all but one terminal completely. Then heat the last soldered terminal while pressing the part to the board with your finger. As the solder melts, you can position the part with your finger

Re: How much heat is "a lot"
OK, change in question: I managed to get the components soldered...but sure enough, the audio jacks are neither of them quite flat to the board. :-( What's my best strategy for rework? Desolder them

How much heat is "a lot"
I've got to the point where I'm trying to install the rear-panel connectors on my QMX+, and here is where my novice status as a solderer shows the most: Just how much heat and time is "a lot".

Just built my Rev 4 QDX HB (12V) after it has sat in the box for a couple years or more. Am doing initial testing. My RF filter sweeps look pretty good for all bands except 20m... there is actually a

Dear Tisha AA4HA There is a bubble wrapped envelope on the way to you first class mail with two 180 pf capacitors. I had two different styles so I sent you one of each.?? I think this will solve you

Re: QMX+ Kit - Capacitor Marking
K indicates +/-10% tolerance. J indicates +/-5% tolerance . Nudging the turns on L404 one way or another should accommodate any variations in the cap value. However since you have already measured

Re: QRP Labs Turkey Workshop?
Hans, Alas I’m off to Budapest and Rome for October. But I’d be happy to arrange something later or earlier next year. I wonder if I could tempt Jan and Alan as well. 73s Steve

Re: QRP Labs Turkey Workshop?
Hans, why must you tempt us, so?! :-D Sadly, I think I'd need a lot more lead time to plan a trip like that from Minnesota! But that doesn't mean I didn't at least peek at flights... /m

Re: Still no output on QMX
I am not a power supply expert, but from what I have seen, the efficiency seems to be more related to load current, with a broad peak and a shallow falloff, and fairly insensitive to input/output
