Re: Should I be disappointed?
Peter,
Yes, 2dB will make a contact that is just missed without it.
Add 2dB and then an extra 2dB will make a contact that is just missed without it.
And so on until you have more dB than anyone

Dear Teropet,
No, don’t worry. Be Happy! You can fiddle with the toroids and mess up a great radio or be satisfied with those power output readings…. Anything over 3 watts is excellent and the

The best investment I ever made is the Donegan Optical Loupe. I had two from my medical practice. They are worth the money (the Donegan brand) but like everything else the Chinese

Re: Should I be disappointed?
No because qrplabs reaches the specifications Hans writes.
But I disagree that 2 db difference is not a lot. Just think about the efforts people do to have 2 db more gain with antennas...

I use fldigi on occasion - with flrig to control the QMX.

Re: Should I be disappointed?
The difference between 3W and 5W is -2 dB, or 1/3 of an S-Unit. In the real world, there's no perceptible difference between 3W and 5W under normal conditions.

Re: Soldering Station Recommendations
Any temperature controlled station from Hakko, Weller or Metcal will be more that adequate for ham use.
For a kit with new parts, you could use a leaded solder (60/40 or 63/37) with a no clean flux.
