Re: key short the first dash
Having the same problem no matter what paddle I use. Haven't tried an external keyer since the mono cord from the keyer shorts the rigs jack, unless I'm doing something wrong.

Re: key short the first dash
Hans, is there a solution to my problem?
By Andy V. Borisenko · #21205 ·
success!
I've got 20m QCX S/N 924 working. I was getting the line of blocks, and L5 was showing 20MOhms. I replaced it with a 100uH on hand and fixed the problem. I've aligned it but it's late now. No mods --

Re: AM Broadcast Interference QCX
Thanks Jerry, All great ideas. I will try them. I tend not to ground the filter since I don't always have it in line, I sometimes MW dx. Shack is on the second floor, though I do have a ground line

Re: AM Broadcast Interference QCX
Yes the interference goes away. Looking to eventually case it up, I do have a tin that it fits in, just need to figure a way not to butcher it up. It would make a nice companion to my PFR3 for park

Re: AM Broadcast Interference QCX
They are listed at 50K, but not sure it's that high according to a search on the station. Think they may actually be going off air and selling the transmitter site for developement. Last community

Re: Ultimate3S : huge frequency drift
Thanks all for your answers. These confirm the issue I experience?is not due a technical failure / malfunctioning?but more due to structural reasons, which I'm going to investigate. 73 and thanks

Re: Might be useful for testing etc - The LED-O-METER
Great idea Andy, Build it in a disused clear biro pen. It should get used more often than a screwdriver in the tool kit. regards Alan

Re: Very low RF output power
Howard That's the spirit. We can do it, because we refuse to give up. 8-) Once you have an RF detector probe I think things will be much clearer as to where the RF is, and where it is not. Sometimes

Signal trace for QCX / U3 fault finding, or other projects.
Just been reading about constructors trying to trace RF in their circuits. Here's a neat trick to help fault find, the LED-O-METER. All you need is 2 x 1N4148 or similar diodes (any old diodes will do

Re: Receiver thump
Phil, Are you working on the right capacitor? The 10uF (microfarad) is a black electrolytic capacitor. You have to replace it with 100nF (nanofarad) - otherwise known as 0.1uF (microfarad). 10 and

Oh, and the bs170 may be ok, mine was transmitting into a short and was ok, I've also transmitted with no antenna or dummy load fitted and it was ok. Andy

Re: Very low RF output power
Hi Howard,? OK on the short between rf out and ground, that is the same problem that I had. Try putting the lpf relay board back in and then use only 1 filter, put it in position 1 and see if the
