Re: Output transistors BS170 replacement
available in VK from Element14 (Farnell) for about 15c.? Problem is, if you only order under $45 you get hit with $12 shipping glenn vk3pe

Re: Output transistors BS170 replacement
Possibly they aren¡¯t readily available in VK, but if you have Amazon, they sell them for a very small price. One listing shows them at about $15 for 100 of them, and they are supposedly Fairchild

Re: Progrock + QLG1 GPS as 10 MHz Reference?
Hi Bob, all I see several people have answered this already. This is my take on it all... What type of precision are you looking for when you say "lab grade"? The ProgRock when it is properly set up

Re: Output transistors BS170 replacement
Thank you Hans, I did indeed manage to find a shop selling them!

Re: Output transistors BS170 replacement
2N7000 has an opposite pinout to the BS170... so the transistors have to be inserted into the board with the flats "the other way" around. Also the 2N7000 does not have such a high dissipation rating

Output transistors BS170 replacement
My antenna broke and high SWR caused my QCX to cook and smell and at least one BS170 is visibly blown. Seems cannot find these locally, is 2N7000 as good? What alternatives can be used that will not

Re: OCX Display
"A row of blocks appears on the top row" Hi Simon have you read section 6.3 of the manual (international A4) on page 124? That might be your problem. Sometimes I do get these blocks on power up but

Hi Vin.. Should hear you from this QTH? Hi HI. Great little rigs aren't they... Trust you're keeping well Phil G4JVF

Re: Progrock + QLG1 GPS as 10 MHz Reference?
Ahh, Ok, Thanks! Can you guys recommend some commercial ones? PN's, source. I'm just learning the details of this high accuracy freq control. Just had a good weekend at the hamfest so have some $$

Re: QCX AGC
Take a look at this simple design by VU2ESE for the BITX40:? http://bitxhacks.blogspot.nl/2016/11/agc-for-bitx.html?m=1 ( http://bitxhacks.blogspot.nl/2016/11/agc-for-bitx.html?m=1 ) Still waiting

Re: QCX AGC
Hi John, The opto coupler,if it uses a LED and photo-diode/transistor, may not work as required. I have designed/used many circuits with cds LDRs. They work, because the resistance change is pretty

Re: integrated battery for QCX
Hi Patrick, I run 3 18650 lithium cells in series. The cells are wired to a controller built into the battery stack. This is used purely to shut down the stack if any cell voltage drops below 2.1

Re: Progrock + QLG1 GPS as 10 MHz Reference?
Bob, I meant a commercial 10MHz OCXO, the QRP Labs one might be able to be setup as good but I am thinking of probably a around $30 with the advantage of no GPS. (If you think that is an advantage.)

Re: Progrock + QLG1 GPS as 10 MHz Reference?
Hi Bob, Like some of the others posting here, I'm disappointed in the ProgRock and QLG1 GPS as a 10 MHz reference. I'm using the recommended Fox TCXO which is just excellent. And for cheap. But the

Hi Bob and all, I¡¯m following this thread closely because I have built a 10Mhz Reference from a Progrock and a UBox M-6 module. It works, but is not as accurate as thought it would be. I think it

Re: Progrock + QLG1 GPS as 10 MHz Reference?
Ok, Thanks guys. So if I understand it, using the OCXO/Si5351A with the Progrock instead of the standard non-OCXO 5351A version would be an improvement? That makes sense. All of the GPS discipline
