Re: First power up of QCX and blank screen.
Have shorted the inductors as sugested but still no luck. Cant see any placement mistakes, and hve gone back over the back with the iron again. Still no change. Could it be a problem with one of the

Re: QCX Build Step 3.47 - NEWBIES be careful
My version of VK5EEE's story has to with surface mount components. I'm getting more familiar with the techniques, but in one case while holding a small SMD resistor with tweezers and getting it

Re: CG3EXP US3 WSPR aboard Polar Prince
Keith. A nice view of the "Polar Prince" in harbour. I've followed the cruise of the vessel at times in between my trips away. It would have been interesting to have been on this restful cruise myself

Re: QCX Build Step 3.47 - NEWBIES be careful
Hi Hans, You seem to be getting a lot of flak at the moment. I¡¯d just like to say that I, probably like many others, really appreciate what you¡¯ve done. Yes I had to wait a short while for my kit.

Re: QCX Build Step 3.47 - NEWBIES be careful
Try SMD kits where you need tweezers to mount the parts. Fun but you lose many parts to the carpet.

Re: QCX Build Step 3.47 - NEWBIES be careful
I'm impressed by your 4 place accuracy in measuring the pin flight distance. I just let mine fly and then vacuum the area once a year whether it needs it or not.

Re: QCX Build Step 3.47 - NEWBIES be careful
Hi Alex The QCX is a very complex system, in terms of all the firmware; and the hardware is not trivial either. I think it is normal that with a new product like this, there are some minor issues

Re: Power on issue solved on my QCX :-)
Mike, Reflashed the chip and it works again!!! Tried progressively lower values for C47 down through 220, 100, 47, 33, 22 until 10uf. ?Only when down to 10uf does it power on first time (and it

Re: QCX layout+component overlay error
I've just carefully removed R19 and R25 and swapped them over. I can now achieve correct minimums for all three of the alignment steps :-) Now to go and see there is anyone on 17m :-) PeterO G0DZB

Re: QCX Build Step 3.47 - NEWBIES be careful
Oh Lou You really are a n00by but you will learn from the experience you are gaining and want to build more. At least you have a smooth floor mate wait until the clipped wire lands in the carpet,

Re: Power on issue solved on my QCX :-)
Thanks Mike. C47 was one my suspects earlier so I replaced it with 220uf (my kit had 470uf). The lower value made no detectable difference. I pulled the chip and put it in an arduino uno and the IDE

QCX Build Step 3.47 - NEWBIES be careful
I'm sure this will be obvious to most, but I'm in spite of my age a real n00b when it comes to building anything electronic, a joy it is too! When you use the wire cutters to cut one pin off, you may

Re: Power on issue solved on my QCX :-)
Hi Simon I am building the 20M version. I had a issue with no display at power on, but it did come on at the second try. For your info my brightness pot is turned fully anticlockwise. I changed L6 to

Re: QCX; Less WSPR plotted and another issues.
Good evening dear Hans, OK I saw your e-mail and I will try to update soon and report you. But the WSPR decoded issue is wondering. Hidehiko.

Hello Hidehiko-san I already replied to you on this group, and by private message. I agree that CW-R does not work, and the beacon frequency appears while a message memory is being sent. I sent a
