Re: QSX radio + 630m :)
Hi Tim, I completely agree with everything you said. We are in dire need of affordable, well performing kits for both bands! Some are not trying these bands due to the build from scratch and/or high

Re: QCX 40 meter low power out
Tom, Unusual report for a QCX40. Did the RX alignment go as per the book, and have good performance? Perhaps double check soldering / component placement, especially around the LPF Check the

Re: #qlg #qcx Is there a Troubleshooting Guide for GLQ ERROR messages?

Bill, Take a look at page 93 in the QCX manual. You set the wspr power in menu 6.8. If you set the value to something other than the values listed in the manual, you will get that error. Mike M Ku4qo

Re: QSX radio + 630m :)
Hi Paul, Agree with all your sentiments here, but linear amplification is nice to have and we do have some SSB activity on 630m here in VK. Not much, but some, and generally by agreement of the wider

Re: Replacement for schottky diode
Having worked with mosfets as rectifiers. As a parallel diode: Don't.? The part needs some amount of voltage from gate to source to turn it on hard. By then your stuff is fried. A good robust diode

Replacement for schottky diode
Has anyone used a MOSFET circuit instead of the schottky diode for power supply reverse polarity protection??? If so, whatwas the result in power output, and do you have a circuit to share??

QRO for your QCX transceiver
There are times when I like to give my QRP QCX 20m transceiver a bit more power (QRO), and I do that with my small amplifier that I built from a kit from HFprojects. ? This amplifier is now offered

Re: QSX radio + 630m :)
There are pros and cons both ways. If a transceiver doesn't have a separate receive antenna input then you have to do the antenna switching between RX and TX. This is easy if the transceiver provides

QCX 40M - GPS Calibration shifter VCO?
Hi, I recently built a QCX 40M. I also built a QLG1 GPS unit. Prior to calibrating with thew GPS, I would set the QCX to 7.117.00 but on my IC-7300 I would pick it up on 7117.35 (+/- a few Hz). After
