Re: Panadaptor
Trystan No, SDRs are direct conversion. Many do not avoid this situation although it is suppressed to varying degrees. The exact centre is best avoided in many SDRs Note that the actual local

Re: British electrical plugs
Technically, the fuse in the plug is required to protect the *cable* between the plug and the appliance. Protecting the appliance itself is another matter. 73, Stay Safe, Robin, G8DQX (about to brew

Re: A remote QDX....
My QDX is confirmed, after a couple of overloads on the order page. Even got a TNT email saying it was on the way and then another saying it was delivered to Germany. Apparently TNT re-use their

Re: Panadaptor
Would a panadaptor be pretty useless with a direct conversion receiver though, because you'd see a whacking great big signal at the frequency of the QCX?

Re: British electrical plugs
"Volts jolts, mills kills." In a domestic home, here in Blighty, you would only encounter one type of plug and socket. The 13 Amp type. Its fed by a 30 Amp ring main. Also in every domestic home here

Re: QCX PC board spots and mini holes
I presume that everybody knows this already - or not? Never fill up vias with solder! For RF to travel from one layer to the other it needs to travel via the surface. Filling vias with solder moves

Re: QDX new firmware 1_01
Hi Ryan The Si5351A 90-degree quadrature mode will only work down to 2.93 MHz. That is therefore the lower limit. If the QDX receives a CAT command to operate outside the range 3.4 to 14.5 MHz, its

Re: British electrical plugs
The breaker in the consumer unit protects the wiring to the household sockets, the fuse in the plug protects the item being powered. If the wiring was overloaded by a ring main for example there could

Re: QCX Challenge - October 2021
Ken, there are some parameters in menu 5 that you can adjust (see Firmware manual http://qrp-labs.com/images/qcxp/firmware/1.07/OpMan107.pdf ), but my decoder works fine with the default settings. Try

Re: QCX PC board spots and mini holes
Hi Dave Yes, they are vias. QRP Labs kits use 2 layer boards. The vias are necessary to connect the bottom and top layers of a signal trace as it is routed around the board and sometimes it has to

Re: How do the big companies make radios?
in the niche market of point to point microwave transport, filters are hand tuned as each filter has different band pass/band reject characteristics depending upon the type of radio being produced.

Re: How do the big companies make radios?
HF is particularly difficult because it covers many octaves. And in many cases can only be done by hand. Many physically big part filters need to be used to cover 2-30 MHz because filters work by
