Re: JS8 QSO Party this weekend
Al, If I see you on, I'll respond. You are a good stretch from my QTH so 20m would be the best chance. 40m seems weak here right now. I have only listened to JS8 so far so there is a good chance I

Re: JS8 QSO Party this weekend
Gregg, Looks like a good variety! I'll add @QRP and @QRPLABS to mine. Don't have the QDX yet, but I do have 4 QCX's and a couple of U3S.' I'm going to try using the RS-HFIQ rig I have that pushes 4W

Greg, I will try turning off the sleep command in Windows.? That would not explain why when then connecting to the Raspberry Pi that I have to restart the QDX multiple times to get the audio to work.

Re: QDX issues: please include info:

Evan, you can use your main rig to trigger the autotuner. Once its found a match on 30 or 80, swap the main rig out for the QDX. It will see a matched antenna at that point. -- John AE5X

Fyi, I tried all orientations of both sides of the case and none of them would fit for me. It appeared that the board cut from the panel had more clearance on one side compared to the other. It ended

I wonder if everyone who is experiencing this is trying the board in both directions using both halves of the clamshell. I find that there is plenty of clearance in 3 of the 4 possibilities, with only

Re: JS8 QSO Party this weekend

Re: QDX shipping update
I use one of these things: It holds the PCB in the spring-loaded clamps and the width is adjusted with a thumb screw on the lower slide bar. I like it because it rotates, so you can put a thru-hole
