Re: QCX 40m IC2 soldered directly to board #qcx
Hi Sean I know its not the topic, but which method are you using to learn CW,? There are so many sites proposing the best way that I dont know which one to start with. 73! Daniel

Re: Keyer issue. #problem
I did have to readjust all the spark gaps and spring tension when I replaced my HAMKEY keyer with the QCX, but all fine now! Good luck. 73, Tony N0BPA Sent: Monday, September 3, 2018 3:28 PM To:

Re: My first time QCX build - fail.
Take heart, Jim. I had a problem with my first QCX. I did just that - set it aside - and then built another. After that I traced down the problem in the first build without any sophisticated test

Re: My first time QCX build - fail.
Thanks for your confidence. I'm going to put it aside for awhile and think about it.? I may order another kit and try again.

Tony: ? ?I'm not using the MFJ keyer, just the Key. In fact if I set the QCX to straight key and use my nanokeyer it works 100% of the time. So I'm kind of stymied.? ? ?73, Donald L. Gover

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. #problem
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. #problem
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

Re: LM7805 Replacement #qcx #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 #qcx #parts
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

Re: LM7805 Replacement #qcx #parts
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
