Re: Easy lithium battery for QCX
Turnigy makes a good product and I've used a lot of their packs... However read the information its 2.2AH 1.5C? that means the max current is about 3.3A and standard .5C charge rate. For QCX that's

Easy lithium battery for QCX
I found this on Amazon today: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00USRD91W/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_awdb_4muTCbG8JHMRP It's a 3s li-po 2.2Ah pack w/ protection built in for under $25! Seems like a great option for

5 watt PA on 630m
Hi all, I run a couple of the QRP Labs on different bands and have found the output on say 80M and 160m were very good. More than 5 watts. In fact on 80m it will bury the needle on my Oaks Hills set

Re: FT8 for U3?
Almost forgot -- in order to do this APRS stuff you need some JS8 stations set up to forward (via the internet) any received JS8 messages that contain the APRS flag.? I don't know how many JS8

Re: FT8 for U3?
Again, this is an older topic, but with JS8 you can do way more than APRS position reports.? You can send arbitrary telemetry data, not only to the APRS network, but you can use the APRS email and

Re: OCXO drift with U3S #ocxo #u3s
I'm afraid I've tried this. The calibration is now set to Step 01, Time 060, but the step size was larger initially. The frequency has more or less stabilized to 26,998,733 which should be about

Re: OCXO drift with U3S #ocxo #u3s
One other thing, are you using the gps to calibrate the u3s? The OCXO oscillates at a lower frequency, maybe the OCXO is set correctly and it's working it's way to its settled point. I use a big

Re: A somewhat more complete description of my (ab)use of the QCX-17 and QCX-80 transceivers
Love what Andreas, DM5MU did with those plug-in modules ! Very nicely-done six-band QCX rig, Andreas ! Tnx & 72 / 73, Bill, N4QA

Re: OCXO drift with U3S #ocxo #u3s
When I was using the plain old Si5351A synthesiser module (no GPS correction) I was getting drift reports of 0 or 1 - it was very stable. My U3S is in the aluminum case but I have a LM7805 voltage

Re: A somewhat more complete description of my (ab)use of the QCX-17 and QCX-80 transceivers
Bill, There are a couple of reports of multi band builds here on the web / forum, a search should find a few different ideas / implementations. One such build is also shown in the builders gallery

Re: A somewhat more complete description of my (ab)use of the QCX-17 and QCX-80 transceivers
Hello Nigel. Thank you for your kind comments ! Sounds like your QCX-30 will be a very handsome rig ! Looking at the? QCX schematic, I am considering lifting one end each of C27 & C28, and jumpering

Re: OCXO drift with U3S #ocxo #u3s
Hi Andy, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I set up just like you describe. But I am still afraid that I didn't quite hit the sweet spot because of the drift I am seeing.? The fact that I am seeing negative

SOLVED> Re: U3S - xmit frequency is 200 Hz higher than indicated on display
*DOH!* What a dummy. I forgot to change the calibrate step time on this U3S kit - I did go through this on U3S #1 but completely forgot on #2. Now we are calibrating and the reference frequency is

Re: Has anyone ever connected QLG1 to an Arduino Uno?
Exactly. You can always define another instance of the Serial object. FWIW, I would leave pins 2 and 3 open on the Uno/Nano, as those are the only external hardware interrupt pins and I usually avoid
