Re: QDX delivery - missing 30pF
I scavenged a 30pF from my QMX+ kit to get me through this QDX build until I can get a replacement. I may contact Hans and have him add this to a GPS order... 73, Steve AK0M

Re: Removing flux. Is it necessary? Yes/No
I clear thick areas of flux build up with a careful and gentle scraping with the back edge of the pointy end of a #11 Xacto blade.? Then a very used, old soft toothbrush to brush way the flux

Re: QDX delivery - missing 30pF
I am just finally getting around to assembling my QDX rev 4 to take with me on a KL7 visit this week. Discovered I am missing one of the 30pF capacitors. I have a plain ceramic 50V 30pF that I could

Re: Removing flux. Is it necessary? Yes/No
I've been using no clean flux on my QMX+ and using 91% isopropyl UNSUCCESSFULLY. A friend recommended a product called "flux off" but it costs $30 a can (too much for me). I don't remember my old

Re: What's the Weakest Signal You Can Get a Response From?
I have gotten -26 reports on ft8 and still completed the QSO on my QMX+ 73 -Mike

Re: 50 Watt PA with KX3
This looks like a great method and eliminates the box I was working on to go between the KX3 (ACC2) and the amp. ?Thank you! ?I knew there was a brain-trust out there.

Re: 50 Watt PA with KX3
I added this mod inside my 50W amp to add low-active PTT capability without disturbing the existing high-active PTT.? Then I wired up a PTT cable that connected the KX2's PTT signal to the tip of the

Re: Removing flux. Is it necessary? Yes/No
Long ago (1974, oy), I had a summer job at JPL and was sent to NASA soldering school for a week.? The teacher impressed upon us that "flux is hygroscopic" and could not be allowed to remain on any

Re: #grounding #qmx #grounding #qmx
Get plenty of ferrites on the interconnecting cables and power cable and a good choke on the antenna feedline Also although the QMX is low power try to get the antenna some metres from the shack

Re: What's the Weakest Signal You Can Get a Response From?
I work POTA exclusively 5 watt. Either with my QCX or QMX and I’ve had QSOs from coastal NC into Europe, Alaska, Hawaii, and even into New Zealand. ?Antenna is either a QRPGuys triband vertical or

Re: What's the Weakest Signal You Can Get a Response From?
And to add for the FT-8 for example, the difference in the receiver bandwidth used for the FT-8 is 50 to 2700Hz as compared with the SSB bandwidth. It means that considering the noise alone it

Re: What's the Weakest Signal You Can Get a Response From?
Hi, the precise number for the receiver could be the MDS or the sensitivity. It is measured at the receiver input. MDS - the minimum discernable (or decodable) signal Sensitivity - the signal that is

Re: 180pf (181) Capacitor Needed
Hi all Note that Digikey will sell you an individual resistor or capacitor if you want it. The postage cost via USPS (3 days typical) is $4.99. 73 Hans

Does adding a small ground screw to the QMX case make sense? Every antenna should be perfectly resonate at the frequency being used. SWR is then 1:1 For a vertical antenna, a counterpoise or ground is

Thanks, Tisha. Mouser sold me four of the caps for about 11 dollars total with shipping.

Re: qmx with tiny lcd display
Yes Don you have right, it is planned that the inside of the housing will be completely covered with copper foil. The heat derivation is a big issue.
