QCX alignment : what is it, and when do you need to repeat the process ?
Could someone please have a go to try and explain in simple terms what the alignment process on the QCX actually does ? I understand the manual says to do this once construction is complete. But are

Re: QRP Labs xciever with SSB capability
I disagree, as you can clearly sense their agenda. You don?t even need to read between the lines as both make their personal issues with us/me relatively clear. We decided against "jumping through

Re: QRP Labs xciever with SSB capability
I think this is a very interesting read on uSDX/(tr)uSDX, a lot of interesting info here: https://vk2ihl.wordpress.com/ And: https://owenduffy.net/blog/?p=28224 73 Hans G0UPL http://qrp-labs.com

Re: QRP Labs xciever with SSB capability
That?s pretty vague and too anecdotal for a technical person, like you. I can?t really tell what went wrong on your "brassboard" but I assume, you?ve used old QCX SSB Code. Same goes for QCX: QCX

See what emissions you can receive. Newer rigs tend to have a soundcard built-in and connect directly to a PC via USB. Older rigs benefit from a digital interface like signalink that can also connect

I figured out how to run FT8 mostly from reading Hinson's guide. Here is a link, I'm not sure if it's THE link. http://www.g4ifb.com/FT8_Hinson_tips_for_HF_DXers.pdf

Re: QMX Tune rate
To answer my own question, I put my QMX (midband, rev 4, f/w 026) in FT8 on WSJT-X on 14.074. Lots of strong signals all over the sub band. I then changed the band on the QMX (NOT using WSJT-X) to

Re: Firmware 026, Tuning not possible for 60m
Go into system config, selection band limits, and select 'none'. P.51 of the ops manual. That should work. 72 de Russ, va3rr

Firmware 026, Tuning not possible for 60m
Hi after Updating my firmware from 021 to 026, a good new functions like 50 to 600 Hz filters for cw is possible. Good stuff. but now it?s not possible anymore to tune the 60 m band. 5.332, next step

Re: QCX Numbers?
Mark, L4/C30 in QCX forms a parallel resonance circuit as part of the class-E amplifier. In the uSDX this was changed to a series resonant circuit (adding a L in series with C30), making L4 frequency

Re: QCX Numbers?
John...Is that true with the QCX? It uses a class E PA which, as I understand it (admittedly imperfectly), needs a resonant input circuit. In the case of the QCX, L4 has different values depending on
