Re: Support and shipping
Wow! Are there people actually complaining? The kit is a great value, and I for one appreciate what you guys have done. Thank you. --Jeff KK4ETK

Re: WSPR success
Ok.. This is the reply I got from my second enquiery about how they worked their minimum order price :- "If you were to buy two or more Crystals from us in the same order then our `minimum order

Re: WSPR success
I will have a word with the guy who got me the 10.140 crystals to see if he can help out. However I had to order 1,000 of those and wait four months. We did, however, get a very good price. I am not

Re: WSPR success
Thanks for the info Philip. If you can get a bunch of crystals for about twenty quid, I'll buy one off you if it is available. It would be easy to get the beacon onto 20 metres if we had the crystals

Re: WSPR success
Hi Mike... Yes, they're expensive aren't they.. Just asked my lad and he paid ?69 for it on a half price sale... I seem to remember it being 35 Watts... It's a square panel about 14" diagonal.... I

Re: WSPR success
Steve.. Yes, I leave it trickle charging all the time... Not sure if that's the correct thing to do but the panel/battery combo must be over six years old now and still going strong... Anyhoo, you've

Re: WSPR success
Phillip, Thanks for the info. I ordered a few of those voltage regs for some experimental work. At the moment I am taking a break from re-programming the 220 or so AVRs with the latest upgrade.

Re: WSPR success
I've just received a copy of Maplins latest special offers, They have a few Solar Panels on offer in this issue. 12v 60w for ?129 code N23FY ( was ?249 ) 12v 15w for ?34.99 code N70JK ( was ?39

Re: WSPR success
Hi Tony The convertors arrived in about 6 days from ordering which is speedy.. Sure going to save battery power compared with standard regulators... Re the solar panel.. Mine is a Maplin one and

Re: WSPR success
That's a good idea to use the adjustable DC/DC converter and voltage regulator Philip. I just ordered two of those. At the price, why not have a pair of them. I will surely need the spare one at some

Re: WSPR success
Did a 24hour test of my Ultimate QRSS kit yesterday and it ran without fault and very stable... It was seen in Florida which was nice... :) (photo in my G4JVF album....wspr2.jpg) Running on a 10

Re: GPS without 1 pps output for the Multi-mode QRSS Beacon kit
Hi Sverre, Yes, you need version 1.4 of the firmware. Please order your free upgrade from the shop. Then I will ship it to you. Regards, Steve

Re: GPS without 1 pps output for the Multi-mode QRSS Beacon kit
Hi Hans I have ver 1.0 software and have already had to put a jumper between pins 14 and 16 to make it work. I tried to connect the RS232 and 1 PPS pins together when the GPS was on, but it changed

Re: Corrupt LCD displays
: It can happen when people switch off their power supply, as the voltage : decays to zero. OK. I've seen that, but never had, nor heard of a problem with it until now. Kurt

Re: GPS without 1 pps output for the Multi-mode QRSS Beacon kit
Sverre 1) You cannot use a GPS without a 1pps. The kit REQUIRES the 1pps signal. Yes, it is waiting for it (the 1pps signal). 2) the cosmetic bug with the baudrate setting needing to scroll through

Re: Corrupt LCD displays
Kurt It can happen when people switch off their power supply, as the voltage decays to zero. It appears that if the voltage goes down too slowly the firmware could corrupt the EEPROM configuration

Re: Corrupt LCD displays
"seen so far have been due to the supply voltage for the beacon falling below the recommendations that Atmel set for the Mega168. (2.7-5.5 volts)." Who has a power supply that low? Does this happen

Re: GPS without 1 pps output for the Multi-mode QRSS Beacon kit
Now I have tried this without much success. I have verified that the GPS LED indicates a lock, used my scope to see that the GPS outputs data to the serial input, and set the baud rate to 4800. But

Shipping times to the USA
Guys, The post to the USA seems to take a while sometimes. On a good day a package will be with the customer in 5 days, on a bad day 3-4 weeks. May be the pony express has slower horses on some
