Re: QDX Build Videos Thread

Re: QCX PC board spots and mini holes
I think those are probably stitching via's / ground plane stitches, I suspect you'll see that there's a ground plane fill on the other side right under them too, and these 'stitch' the two sides

Re: removing SM ICs
Hans, Yes, I guess that most start like I did. Driven to the point that a piece of gear was simply scrap unless something was attempted I looked at various descriptions of how SMD work can be done
