Re: QCX20M #585 Transmitter Inoperative
Hi Dave
Have you checked for a short from IC3C pins 4, 10 to Ground?
I agree, testing Clk2 when it is unconnected would be a good idea.

Re: Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I killed my QCX receiver!
Hi Dean
It sounds to me that you probably fried IC4, the FST3253, which is the
mixer (Quadrature Sampling Detector, a.k.a. Tayloe Detector). If that is
blown, the op-amps would be just amplifying

Re: QCX 80 Transceiver - Connection for a Straight Key
Hi
Yes, I can add that to the next firmware version - to only key in straight
mode using the tip connection; then if a mono plug shorts the ring to
ground, it would not cause a problem. I can add

Re: Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I killed my QCX receiver!
Hello Dean,
If you think thats stupid. Try checking the frequency of CLK0 with the 12 volt pin on the three pin header. Instead of the freq. pin next to the clock.
I would start with the mixer. And

Re: QCX 80 Transceiver - Connection for a Straight Key
Actually, I am thinking this can be resolved in firmware:
If you are running is straight key mode (Menu 4.1 Keyer mode: Straight), then the QCX must just ignore the ring or "Dah" input...
Only when

Re: QCX20M #585 Transmitter Inoperative
It might be interesting if someone would write a set of test programs that
supported
individual function testing. In this case the code would activate only
CLK-2 on the

Re: QCX 80 Transceiver - Connection for a Straight Key
Hi Robin.
I have experienced this with other setups as well. A mono plug in a stereo socket will cause the ring and ground of the socket to short, thus keying a "dah".
Its simple to a stereo

Ian,
I did some measurements on my U3S with OCXO tonight. Calibrated a warm

Thanks for the encouragement. I started with the

I think I'll wind the toroids for the 40M version
