Re: Balloon over

 

Sounds like a job for our newly created Space Force to have fun with a goal of bringing it down safely? over US territory and give it a good examination.

RESOLVED: Turns out IC4, the FST3253, was the culprit.
Thanks to everyone how responded and helped out.
Its a testament to how awesome this group is.

When you run your own group, then it's your call.

In this case you don't.

John,

Ignore it /g/QRPLabs/message/96809 there never has been any details, it was just for the initial QRP Labs setup.

Nothing new. When Sputnik 1 was laughed [LAUNCHED - thank you dictation software], the Daily Express asked why the RAF didn¡¯t go up to shoot it down.

Re: Corrosion on IC pins (QCX+ build)

 

Thanks, Cliff, for the heads up! This is the plus version but I¡¯ll try to be conservative with the voltage.?

I tweaked the BPF a bit more: took a winding off from both L3 and L2 and this gave me more range for adjustment. Now I get about 4.5 W @ 12 V and closer to 6 W @ 13.8 V. These readings are not from a calibrated meter so take them with a grain of salt.

Ted, I¡¯m also planning to use the radio with a 4S LiPo battery back and a buck converter. About 12v should be enough for a signal in QRP range. Lower voltage also gives the buck converter something to work with.?

Re: Balloon over Canada

 

Maybe after the combined armed forces is able to create a leak in the balloon envelope .... they can tow the descending balloon to Roswell NM which could use a boost after Covid.

Re: LED2 ?

 

As soon as I bring up the card on WSJTX 2.6.0 LED2 is OFF?

LED2 ?

 

I received a new 20-80 Rev 4 QDX some weeks ago and now have time to place it in a case.
It is a built and tested unit direct from QRP-labs. It is a 12v unit that I am running at 9V. Power on -- I see .13 A.
LED1 fast blinks while loading code then constant LED1 and LED2. I am guessing I should not have an LED2.
I am able to use PUTTY to access the settings options.
What should I lookfor before I slide this card into the case?

The big outcry is being made by national security heads who failed to intercept it before it entered our airspace.
