Re: QCX Rev 4 Build
Hi Al That doesn't look like any of the other resistors in the QCX kit. It that arrived in the kit bag then it's just something that fell in by mistake somewhere along the line... you can safely

The answer is, of course...Yes ! The stock QCX-17 hears very well on the ten meter band too !
The stock QCX-17 is tuned to 28075.1 kHz for this little event. Quite by chance and, once again, it is five-miles-away KN4MKX doing the honors ! I love this radio ! 72 / 73, Bill, N4QA

Re: FT8 for U3?
Hi Alan, The Racal rig is a PRM4031 and the fault was a Tant cap going s/c and then taking out the TIP32A series 9v regulator all on the analogue transceiver board. The manual on the VMARS group is

Re: DX-ing with QRP - possible?
Jim / KJ7AOO, QRP as a means to doing DX, the basic answer is of course.? There have been many who have done DX-CC using QRP so can it be done has been answered. Will the dipole MFJ1774B do that

Re: FT8 for U3?
Hi John, FT8 / JS8 built into a QCX is an interesting challenge. More so depending if your development aims to maintain backward CW Transceive capability or new Digimode Transmit only? As it stands on

Re: Will the VFO/Signal Generator + 12M LPF be suitable as LO for QO-100 LNB use?
I kept out of this as I don't have a requirement, revolutionary ideas I had in the past result in I wake in the middle of the night realising that wont work.... I think sometimes we get to wrapped up

Re: Will the VFO/Signal Generator + 12M LPF be suitable as LO for QO-100 LNB use?
Hi Frank If you're going to multiply it by 390 I don't think the QRP Labs synth products are going to be stable enough, low noise enough, nor accurate enough for your wishes. I didn't design them with

Re: a new QCX 20 begins
Hi, David In essence, the 2 windings that drive the Tayloe detector have to be wound identically. The other 2 are less important. The easiest way to be sure of this is to wind all 4 the same way,

Re: Will the VFO/Signal Generator + 12M LPF be suitable as LO for QO-100 LNB use?
Frank, I was forgetting, I use TCXOs with my Synth modules so at 27MHz there is practically never any +/- 1Hz variation so the VFO would still be moderately stable when multiplied up. Of course that

Re: a new QCX 20 begins
Are you saying that the enclosed photo is incorrect? It looks like the phase of the three small windings is reversed from the large one. David J. Wilcox K8WPE¡¯s iPad

Re: Will the VFO/Signal Generator + 12M LPF be suitable as LO for QO-100 LNB use?
Hello Hans, Alan & others, Common satellite LNB's use 9750 MHz. (& 10600 MHz.) as IF frequency to get the normal satellite frequency down to the satellite receivers frequencies. For the new

Stock QCX-17 just scored its very first 12m reception !
So, I thought to myself, "Self, where, within the 12m band ( or almost *any* band, for that matter ), are we most likely to find a readable signal or two on the stock QCX-17 ?". "Within the FT8

Re: QCX 20 T1 WOE
First get some q tips and 90+% alcohol and clean the crud up so you can see what¡¯s what. Firm but gentle. You will not be able to get rid of all the black but should be able to make it much easier

Thanks! I was picturing little drop down feet in the back like Mountain Toppers from LNR have. I'm not sure about the color either, that was just what filament I had on the printer that day. The box
