Re: Qrp-labs and a Huff and Puff circuit board
Hi Allison All good points, however consider in the context, this is a PTO I am building for my Norcal 2030, a rig which has phenomenal dynamic range and large close in signal handling while sipping

Re: QSX
It is pretty funny picturing those kilowatt capable match boxes on a picnic table beside a diminutive QRP xcvr. But food for thought: The QRO guys build those big clunky (but low loss) boxes and run

Re: LPF 20 Meters
Hi Phil, Yes, all discussed before, and the original design is a bit sharp anyway ;-) The TL;DR? answer is to take 1 or 2 turns off each toroid, or try spreading the coils out a bit. That's all you

LPF 20 Meters
Hello All! I just built and tested a 20 meter low pass filter. My Rigol DSA 815 says that it's down 1.9 db @ 14.000 MHZ. Isn't that a little too soon? I would think that the roll-off should start

Hi George, Several others have offered links to kits. You may have seen them shortly after you sent this message :) The advantage to kits over scratch building is having all the parts in one place at

Re: QSX
Hi R. Tyson, I have a pair of Johnson Matchboxes. Those will handle QRP for sure. I have used them at 5 watts and less many many times. They do not even get warm! <evil grin> I also have the BLT that

Re: QSX - kits and accessory while you wait
I would concur. Specifically on the Z match tuner... the Emtech ZM-2 tuner is one that offers good tuning for coax and twin lead, and has the built-in resistive bridge for finals protection while

OK2BQN, The key in your method is "original microprocessor". Would you not need to have a functioning original uP to get it to give up the code? This thread was about how to handle a non-functioning

It would depend on what you wanted to aspect you were wanting to tune- min SWR or Max signal. If you had a good stable signal source to listen to on the QCX, you might find the S-meter would respond

Is there a way to tune your dipole antenna (cut it to length) with the QCX without any other instruments? I know the QCX has the S-meter. Can this be used for tuning purposes?

Re: QCX Encoder
I received my Bourns encoder today (The one Jack found) and it looks nice. I think there is enough friction in the bushing that the felt may not be needed but the felt sure is a good option and thanks
