Re: Kit building
Hi Seth
The footprint isn't square. You can only comfortably fit the button onto
the PCB in the correct orientation.

Kit building
I am not familiar with protocol for these micro switches used in basically all the QRP Labs kits, I have to assume them being 4 pin that there is a right and wrong way of installing them?

Re: T1 wire gauge and length?
I built a 40m QCX and my notes from the build were you'll be winding 53 turns essentially and that calculates to 2.56 feet or ~30 inches. I allowed 7 inches for each loop (3.5" out and 3.5" in) and 2

Re: U3S power out on 630M
Hi Tim.
I changed the capacitor from 10n to 100n and I get somewhere between 250 and 300mW on 630m with a 5V supply and a single FET
In reality you will probably need an amplifier as 250mW into an

Re: T1 wire gauge and length?
Hi Keith,
I've just measured the piece of wire from my kit (I'm a few transistors
away from winding the toroids) and it is 208cm long. As this is enough for
L4 as well it should be plenty for T1.

Beautiful Job Mick!
I did a little research on PagePlus at the Serif webpage...it appears that PagePlus will output a standard .pdf file as well as the proprietary .ppp format.
I wonder if I could

Fundamentally the thicker wire may be easier to handle but the actual gauge will have no discernable difference.

T1 wire gauge and length?

QCX 40, still waiting for parts before shipping?
#qcx
Hi,
just wondering if the QCX 40m shipping delay is due to long backlist or if it is still waiting for out of stock parts before shipping??

A reminder: the QCX output stage can drive earphones with 32-ohm impedance such as commonly used on mobile phone (cellphone) headsets. If you connect low impedance e.g. 8-ohm headphones, then

Have you checked the voltages in that area near the filter and PA?
My alignment meters were all but steady before developing the motorboating. Now the meters bounce about 1/4 the bottom line
