Re: QDX power supply
You may want to consider using a variable regulator for the PA supply, on long duty cycle modes

Re: QDX Build Videos Thread
This reminds me of one of our students who was building himself a computer (this was about 1970). He was based in London and had a season ticket to the Promenade Concerts at the Royal Albert Hall. He

Re: QDX Build Videos Thread
As for winding toroids, just take a couple and the wire and start winding while watching TV or some other activity. Forget counting. Just wind. After a few or a dozen take a photo with your smart

QDX - 80m LPF; power supply
I've recently been playing with different designs of plug-in LPF for a QRP 80m tx project so I built up the QDX LPF to try alongside my collection.? My nanoVNA showed a curve and numbers much like

Re: QRP rig - and my tuner tunes "even a wet spaghetti"
A good explanation, Wolfgang. It makes absolute sense. We were taught this during our training classes for the license. When operating QRP portable (SOTA etc.) I much prefer to do away with feedline

Re: Programming the Atmega238P
Hello Phil. I replied to your message but guess the moderator has not released my message yet. If you are just looking to upload a sketch (what the usual source files are called for the Arduino IDE)

Re: Programming the Atmega238P
Phil, As has been suggested there are a ton of youtube videos and other web pages telling you how to program an AVR (the ATMega328P computer chip sold by Atmel/MicroChip used on Arduino boards) . This

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: Battery power for the QDX? #power
The?BA00JC5WT is variable..? (full disclosure I know just enough to be dangerous) if I read this data sheet correctly a veriable resister(s) could be used at pin 4 and 5? I would love to learn more

Re: QDX
Jason, depends where you live on this planet ? You did not reveal that. 2.1 x 5.5? or sometimes '5.5x2.1' is a de facto standard, zillions are around ;-) Either you grab 'any' cheap power supply with

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

Re: QDX Build Videos Thread
Here's where I'm at with it as of midnight on 10/30. Having the inductors pre-wound sure was handy! The next things will be installing the LED, connectors, the electrolytic to stabilize the 5v voltage

Re: removing SM ICs
Hi Fred I'm sure you are right and that I should get proper SMD tools. My point was... Lack of the ideal tool doesn't have to mean you can't do something. I have a long and questionable history of

Re: New QDX complete - no work.
Note also that QDX must have a working 25MHz clock (the TCXO module). If this is not the case then the microcontroller chip would use its own internal 8MHz oscillator. The microcontroller would

Re: How does PTT work in QCX mini?
Hi Mike This is not a change with QCX-mini Rev 3. All QCX-mini PCB revisions have the same PTT output jack connections with the positive-going PTT signal on the "ring". This is the same as on the 50W

Re: New QDX complete - no work.
The QDX is a composite USB device that contains two USB devices: a USB serial virtual port for CAT control, and an audio interface for the digital mode data. All of those should appear in their
