Re: Audio level limiting with diodes?
It would be similar to this technique to protect ADC inputs with a couple Schottky diodes: https://www.analog.com/en/technical-articles/protecting-adc-inputs.html

*Hello Bruce and all, I think I will spend my last dime on transmitter and antenna and would not afford GPS. Is there any online clock which will transmit the GPS timing free . And I would not want to

Re: 20m+WSPR+Loop Ant+TX without computer
Hi Mustafa Maybe look at the U3S. That is transmit-only, and with the addition of the QLG2, bullet-proof. Roger 8P6RX ?Get BlueMail for Android ?

Re: 20m+WSPR+Loop Ant+TX without computer
I have a QCX +5W and it runs WSPR 24/7 You can set the clock manually after start up and you can afford to gain or lose a second before reception of your signal is a problem. ?Timing is controlled

*Hello there , I am optimizing everything for my condition. I looked at WSPR sites and found most contacts are for 20 meters band. I will build a 20 meters loop antenna for in room use or on balcony

Audio level limiting with diodes?
I recall at one point folks in the Bitx20 boards were discussing a simple hack to avoid blowing out eardrums on transceivers lacking AGC - They would simply use a couple diodes between the headphone

Re: #qmx QMX and waste heat from the finals #qmx
I strongly recommend using a VERY thin layer of thermal paste between the BS170’s and the PCB. Mechanical surfaces are not perfectly flat - neither the flat of the FET package nor the board. A thin

Re: QDX rev 5 Troubleshooting
Thanks for the advice John and Nick, testing did indeed show that D3 and D6 went to 0 (or as near as dammit!). I swapped L9 with L5 and confirmed continuity with R9 and C11, however the same fault

Re: Non-toxic antenna throw weights
I pick up a rock and either use a girth hitch or a slip-knot (which also happens to be a hitch now that I think about it) to tie the para-cord around it.? I don't wear a helmet... or suspenders.?

Re: #qmx QMX and waste heat from the finals #qmx
Ah yes - makes sense. Mainly I was worried about IC503, which is over the discharge surface and gets very warm.

Re: #qmx QMX and waste heat from the finals #qmx
I've been following this thread and others regarding what takes out the Finals. I've built 2 QDXs and one QMX. Both the QDX rigs blew the finals within a short time of building. I don't know for sure

Re: #qmx QMX and waste heat from the finals #qmx
The flat surface of the BS170 contacts the surface of the PC board.? Being a six layer board this should dissipate heat better than the QDX.? (I do put a little thermal paste on mine to help

Hi Bruce, "Good on ya" for making an extra effort to avoid spreading toxic materials! I use 15 ml eye drop bottles full of heavy material.? They fit nicely inside the 1-inch (nominal) schedule 40 PVC

Re: #qmx QMX and waste heat from the finals #qmx
Frank, No problem here with heat even in a chat mode with key down time of 10 minutes or more. I think the QMX doesn't get as hot as the QDX. 73, Cliff, AE5ZA

#qmx QMX and waste heat from the finals #qmx
Hi all, I'm a little bit afraid to fry the finals when working in digimodes (long txing). So, I wonder if there is any construction possible to dissipate the heat of the finals to bottom cover of
