Re: QDX transmit troubleshooting advice¡
Ryuji,
I can not answer your question.? I am using a standard model for a?1N5369B 56-volt Zener.? That is not what I used to modify my QDX.? That was a 1n4756a a 47-volt device.? I do not have a

Re: QDX transmit troubleshooting advice¡
Awesome, thank you Evan. When you run simulation with Zeners, how much capacitance does your Zener model put on the circuit? (obviously, this is voltage-dependent)

Hi Stewart
It does appear that your telemetry is being transmitted on minute 8

Re: QDX transmit troubleshooting advice¡
Ryuji,
The advantage of simulation is that it is easy to do what-if analysis.? Here are the results you requested:
RL14p=OPEN
PW=3.75 watts
VDp=202 volts
RL14p=100 ohms
PW=3.6 watts
VDp=39

Re: QDX - protection of BS17O PA
Your point of limitation coming from quantization is correct in theory, but the limitation is a non-issue for the question of simulating a tough load to the FET.
No practical continuous variable

Re: QDX - protection of BS17O PA
Ryuji,
Neither the tunable LC nor the ATU have any resistive component other than losses so the SWR they create is around the outside of the Smith chart at near infinity SWR. Using the ATU with some

Re: Newbee Q: Are there 'designated builders' for QRPLabs kits?
Thanks Hans.
Hans - The endeavor to build a "bit of kit" has me excited.
To see you and 100's of hams actively tweaking out the QMX ...
waaaaayyyy tooooo cooool.
Thanks for doing what you do and glad

Re: Newbee Q: Are there 'designated builders' for QRPLabs kits?
Thanks Karl.? I knew a few things - like scraping off the enamel first. But scooting the turns over 1st - b4 soldering the torroids in place ... good one!
And yes, maybe a couple more test gizmos

Hello Milos
Thanks for that, yes it sounds like a good way around it.
It will save me having to set up 30+ new Message Rules in my OE Classic e-mail App.

Oops, yes, 500mW, not mA, for the stock 5.6V zener and 5 Watts, not 5 Amps for the replacement 5.6V zener.
It's good to know I should not be concerned with shutdown sequence. My shack 12V 30 Amp
