Re: Is there a sign up for the new kit?
Hi Mike
Yes, there is a waiting list. I've added you to it! There are about 30 on it so far!
Steve & I hope to be able to start shipping them in 1-2 weeks.

Re: kit works
Hi Paul,
I'm glad everything is working well!
Having things mounted directly at the centre of a dipole is a great way to not lose any milliwatts in your feed or tuning system! (Provided your dipole

New to the group and didn't get to Dayton. I'm hoping to buy a 30m kit from the next batch.

Re: QRS kit quesion from Newby kitter
Hi Newt,
You say the carrier is keyed up after your call is sent at 12wpm, but then
just hangs. Here are some things to check:
1) If you listen to the carrier on your receiver, do you hear a very

Re: kit works
Paul , let me know when you put it on the air and I will have a look . I think stability could be a problem , especially compared to what we are used to working with on QRSS .
Also we have some

Re: QRS kit quesion from Newby kitter
Newt , not being familiar with building the kit , I wonder if you were using a dummy load or the same load doing all of the tests ?
If it is not something in the way the ID is configured , it could

Re: QRS kit quesion from Newby kitter
Well, I had it working for awhile. I listened on my radio at the beacon working 12 words a minute. Then I think I went too far counter clockwise on R8 whilst adjusting the power out. I added the

Re: QRS kit quesion from Newby kitter
I figured it out with some helpful advice from several of my mates. I now understand why no DC is shown on my meter, as it shouldn't be there! AC is what belongs there, and so it is. The crystal is

Re: QRS kit quesion from Newby kitter
Newt ,
The oscillator signal may not be strong enough for you to hear it . Take an old test lead ( or just a piece of wire ) with a banana plug and put it in the center of your antenna connector and

QRS kit quesion from Newby kitter
Hi All,
I am building the 30M QRSS and one of the interim checks is to see if the circuit is oscillating at 10.140 MHz.
I am using my FT-450 to check for oscillation, cw mode, and I do not detect

Re: K9EW QRSS on 10.140,033
Thanks guys for the winding tips. I was experimenting on the VLF band last night so didn't work on the 30m beacon. I will finish it today and use the 'scope to set the power per Hans

Hi Mike,
Speaking of winding the toroids...
I found that the finished toroid matched the holes in the pc board best when
I wound the toroids like this:

Re: K9EW QRSS on 10.140,033
Hi Mike
Good luck. Don't forget: the wire thickness is a bit too thick and so winding 35 turns on the inductor that is in series with the crystal is a bit difficult. In my build of the kit, I wound

Re: K9EW QRSS on 10.140,033
Ah, that is the reason. I subscribe to a lot of Yahoo Groups but read all of them in my email client rather than online.
BTW, going to wind the toroids for my 30m kit tonight and it'll be done then.
