Re: QCX capacitor C30 - 40m version
Use the 56pF cap as shown in the table in chapter 3.15 of the instructions. I think the C30 cap value given in the parts list used 30pF since it's used on most bands. It may have been clearer to have

Re: QCX80 T1, S3 value?
I am using awg 32 for T1.? It will fit fine on the T50-2, but it is extremely hard to keep count with my ancient eyes.? I own a couple of L/C meters, so I am OK with measuring the inductance.? I

QCX capacitor C30 - 40m version
Hello, Can anyone please tell me capacitor should I use for C30? I am a little bit confused as on page 7 of the manual rev 1.10 a 30pF is listed but the chapter 3.14 mentiones 56pF. Thanks for your

T1 voltage reading
HI after assembling my QCX 20 I have done the calibration as described in the manual. I easily found the PBF peak with the number at the top of LCD showing 9. I have participated in the IOTA contest

Re: Are these LPF capacitors out of spec? #qcx #lpf #parts
Alan, Take no notice of Chinese claims. I had one that quoted 1%, it was about -20% for normal values. I have one that did not quote any accuracy, it IS around 1%. The only way to be sure is to have

Re: QCX80 T1, S3 value?
One handy trick to count the number of turns on a toroidal core is to take a picture of it and print it. Then you can tick them off with a pencil. I¡¯m usually ok to count 30 or so turns without a

The LC 100-A from china claims 1% accuracy for L and C over the important part of its measuring range. Priced at just under ?10 it's not a big risk; I have one on order, but it has not arrived yet.

Re: Are these LPF capacitors out of spec? #qcx #lpf #parts
Hi Halden, I don't believe that measuring the capacitance value helps in this case. My 30m QCX was low on power and replacing the two blue capacitors C25 and C26 was a big improvement. Before I

Re: QCX80 T1, S3 value?
You can use a smaller diameter wire for T1 for your QCX80 or just scramble wind the toroid as the manual indicates. I had a real hassle winding the coil for the QCX40. ?It just fit with the provided

Re: Are these LPF capacitors out of spec? #qcx #lpf #parts
Your capacitors are most likely as marked.? An LCR meter will show different readings depending on the frequency used by the meter.? If your meter would use a lower frequency, the capacitance shown

Re: Now, questions about Relay Kit; Re: Problems with Relay Kit;
One of the problems, I think, is Relay 0 and the jumpers are not shown in the U3S instruction manual's schematic. The switched relay board's schematic only shows the 5 relays that it controls. But,
