Re: QCX-SSB: SSB with your QCX transceiver
Allison, Yup, the si5351 is poorly documented. It takes a little bit of reading between the lines and experimentation to figure out what it really does. On the other hand, it is a $1 part meant mostly

Should we have a QCX QSO Party?
#qcx
With many thousands of QCX transceivers on the air, should we consider a QCX QSO party?? We can have band specific awards, power maximum awards (not all QCX transceivers have the same output), and

40M BPF alignment T1 and C1
#qcx
#alignment
#bpf
I've completed a 40M QCX (built the 20M last year). Doing the BPF alignment, I could only get max signal with C1 nearly fully meshed (at a power of 10), so I removed 5 turns from T1 (which was easier

Re: QCX-SSB: SSB with your QCX transceiver
I'm very curious how well the i2c writes into the si5351 do. Looking forward to your notes on how clean you can get the signal.<< Jerry, All you need to test the signal generation is a raduino.?

5. If I keep pressing the Menu key I go through the rest of the menus until 'Press right button'. So I press the right button and it returns to Step 1 above........ Stop pressing buttons at that point

Re: QCX 40 meter TI inductances
Al, If your inductance meter is accurate wind it for inductance. That should give first-time results but still be prepared to adjust turns, correct operation is what you aim for. 73 Alan G4ZFQ

Re: QCX 40 meter TI inductances
Actually I take that back. L1-L4 I wound based on their inductance value. I wound T1 based on the number of turns.? Curt M.

Re: QCX 40 meter TI inductances
I wound mine based on the specified inductance value and didn¡¯t have any problems. I¡¯m sure more people wound thiers based on the number of turns and everything probably worked out fine for them

Hi Andy, Yes I did try that, to no avail. Now I'm going to give a step by step of events switching on from a cold start. This may be somewhat lengthy but hopefully there will be a clue somewhere. 1.

Re: QCX 40 meter TI inductances
I'd think C1 has enough range to tune the winding it is in parallel with. Otherwise, if anything is critical, it might be the ratios between the various turn counts. So just build it to the specified

QCX 40 meter TI inductances
My reason for asking about the actual inductance for TI is to find out if the number of winds is the priority or is the actual inductance. Is it better add or subtract a winding in order to get a more

QCX 40 meter T1 transformer
Does anyone have the inductances for the T1 transformer? The calculated inductances I have for 40meters , PRI, S1, S2 is 0.10-0.14uH. Is this correct?. The calculated inductance for S3 is 6.9-7.1uH.
