Re: U3s was working with one BS170
Oh thank you so much. I was wondering what else to check. My problems are now confounded after reflowing solder joints and now only getting error si5351a. I am so frustrated.

Re: QCX - Physical size of C47
Hi Brian
The physical specification of the 470uF capacitor in the subsequent batches
of kits is 6mm diameter, 7mm height.

QCX videos
Hi all
There's a new video published today by Kevin KB9RLW reviewing and

QCX - Physical size of C47
This is a trivial question but the answer would be useful. Message #17075 advises that electrolytic capacitor C47 should be mounted horizontally in the first batch of QCX kits as it is slightly too

Re: QRP LABS enclosure for QCX
Thanks Greg
I have started a new web page http://qrp-labs.com/qcx/qcxgallery.html for
builders' photos, to give people ideas about how to enclose their QCX

Re: Clock kit - has anyone had any luck making it scroll through the data?
Hi Michael
I assume you have built your clock using a 4-line display, not the supplied
2-line display?
To alternate between different displays on a line, you should enter the

Re: DC green connector -- how does it open?
Oho!!!! I installed it back the front!!! It protrudes much off the board when installed correctly. You cannot poke wires in the back of it LOL

Re: DC green connector -- how does it open?
Hopefully the metal inside hasn¡¯t been damaged.
When I inserted the wires, I just poked them in until they stopped and then tightened the screws. It¡¯s a compression fit.
Is the block installed

HI, thanks Mike and Marc, but even with screws fully loosened, nothing gives way. The silver metal inside does not move, even when pushed down or in with a toothpick, screw driver, test lead end...

Re: DC green connector -- how does it open?
It's not a silly question at all. Phoenix or Phoenix like contact blocks sometimes stick. As you are turning the screw to the left (looking down from the top), watch the 1/8"- ish (about 1mm) thick

DC green connector -- how does it open?
Sorry for this silly question, but with poor eyesight and even with magnifying glass, I cannot figure out how to power up my completed QCX!
The green DC connector has 2 screws on the top, loosening

Re: QCX encoder part number?
Hi Ken
This rotary encoder doesn't correspond to one from Mouser, Digikey etc.
Which dimensions do you need? It would be best for me (or someone else) to
just measure one.

Re: U3s was working with one BS170
I suggest you check continuity of the surrounding circuitry to each of the BS170's legs and not just at their pads. That would be Common/Ground to Source, C1 and R6 to Gate and T1 to Drain. I'm just

So you checked for continuity from each of the LCD pins to the IC2 pins
