Re: WSPR Receive Frequency on QCX Mini With TCXO
Hi Peter,
Thanks very much for the modification information. I'll watch and read up and if I feel it's doable with my modest abilities, I'll probably have a crack at it. I've had several WSPR

Re: QDX High bands question
Hans,
Forgive the resurrection of this thread, but, in beginning to sift through the parts of my QDX kit, I noted the cores designated for L2, L3, L4, L6, L8, and L10 were described as "37-10 toroid

Now I understand that the reason 5MHz band is still on the menu is to enable rx only, but no tx is allowed.? Many thanks!!

Hi Roy
Thanks... I'll fix that. No problem. It's just that pesky AGC sample buffer

Re: WSPR Receive Frequency on QCX Mini With TCXO
Hi Bruce,
I'm getting nothing on 14.0971. However, as per Peter's suggestion, 14.0964 provided a few hits late yesterday evening. Hopefully, there'll be more today when the band wakes up.

This generated a small number of hits late last night. I will try again later this morning when the 20M band is more lively.

The DX contest is proving to be a great way to test the AGC.
And it is working quite nicely.? Thanks, Hans!
Just hopped on 20m and snagged two Spanish stations and a Hawaiian station.
