Re: My first time QCX build - fail.
Jim I strongly suggest not transmitting until the receiver is working. Unplug the key or paddle. On my build I missed on solder connection in the audio section. I found the issue by turning on the

Re: Ideal Power Voltage
Tom I suggest reading what is in the manual. Yes its honestly a 3 watt rig with 13.5 volts input. If you feed a slightly higher voltage only to the PA stage, you can gain a half s-unit at most. I

Re: Keyer issue.

This may sound silly, but are you trying to key the QCX keyer with the signal from your MFJ keyer?. May I suggest that you connect your existing key and paddles directly to the QCX keyer input and set

Re: Keyer issue.

Donald, You could try 1k pullup resistors from the paddle contacts to the +5V power supply. Maybe there is too much resistance to ground somehow. 73 de Frank PA3CNO Op 3 sep. 2018 16:08 schreef Donald

Keyer issue.

I see a number of topics addressing various issues with the Keyer but after trying all the various solutions I can't seem to solve mine. I have a MFJ-564b that seems to work flawlessly on my Elecraft

Re: LM7805 Replacement

#parts
The TLC272 is not a rail-to-rail capable op amp and can only supply 10mA. So it's not a full replacement for the TS922, though it may suffice in this application. The TLV272 is rail-to-rail but can

Re: LM7805 Replacement

I think TLC272 should also do the job, except perhaps for the final headphone stage. It's a similarly specced part, and is available in DIP. Regarding the supply voltage, look at the lowermost right

You are correct: the TS922 is now only available in SMD packages. You would either have to find some NOS DIPs or use an SOIC to DIP adapter. The other alternative is to find another suitable part. So

Re: My first time QCX build - fail.
I've made progress but it still isn't working right. I rewired T1 and reinstalled it. That fixed the loud tone but I caused more problems. I lifted a trace off the board from pin 4 of T1. It appears

There's some great advice in this thread and replacing IC6-9 sounds like a worthwhile mod, but I'm having a bit of trouble sourcing the TS922 in a DIP8 package.? They seem to have been discontinued
