Re: progrock on power up
Alan,
I though of taking a video and slowing it down but...that just takes time away from building more radios. :)
I'll check the synth on my home receiver tonight. So long as it works

Re: progrock on power up
Just a silly aside. Aldis Lamp signalling ( morse by light flashing ) maximum
speed is supposedly a mere 14wpm. I'm not going to calculate the duration of a
dit at that speed, but the Progrock is

Re: QCX Troubleshooting - Please can you help?
I've checked menu 4.9, it's set to 700hz as it should be. Now I'm thinking that the 20Mhz clock might be the problem - if there's no 20Mhz, perhaps that stops the sidetone from being generated? And

Re: progrock on power up
Chris,
I've never really bothered, I had a counter on it and that confirmed it worked.
But I've just tried counting, blowed if I see more than 3 but they are just short flashes.

Re: QCX WSPR

You also need to have the exact time set and wait for the frame to start.
It should transmit on a even minute. Don't know how this is indicated on

Re: Low Power fix on QCX 80 and a sugestion for a possible addition to QCX test gear to measure inductance.
Robin,
Although I do not have a QCX it looks possible just to remove one end of an inductor, unwind one turn and resolder to the top of the board. The unwound length will have only a very small

Re: progrock on power up
Hi Alan,
I've taken your suggestion and done the factory reset but still the same issue. On power up, does the LED come on first then flash four times? Perhaps I'm just missing a flash.
Hopefully the

Re: QCX freq/display calibration
In the alignment menus look at 8.5 that tells you how to align the frequency without a GPS.

Re: Low Power fix on QCX 80 and a sugestion for a possible addition to QCX test gear to measure inductance.
Hi Robin,
Sadly I dont think I can help on this one. When I trimmed the number of turns on the inductors (L1, L2, L3 and L4) I decided through lack of time to avoid the cut-n-try approach in favour

Re: progrock on power up
Chris, If it really is a D then I've not seen it.
Try a reset as in section 4.2
All I see is rapid flashes, so fast I'm never sure I've seen 4. But then I'm probably just slow..
The FOX will be

Re: QCX freq/display calibration
You need the PPS signal to calibrate the crystal frequencies. The serial
data is for time and info only. The calibration takes a few seconds and you
should see a new value that most probably don't end
