My 22g wire arrived today, T1 is rewound and installed. I tested the little riglet on all 4 - no, 5 - bands and had QSO's on all of them. What a great radio - lot's of fun! Here are some numbers you

Re: Hints for successfully building the QDX
It depends on the item with the largest thermal mass. For a grounded pad that's definitely the best way to go, but for a half mmm copper wire you'll be there all week and liberate the pad. In any

Not even slightly.? The filters are resonant, meaning that they both reduce harmonics and boost the fundamental. You could consider that the filters take the energy off the edges off the square wave

Re: ceramic disc caps? #20m #40m
Syd. Can you bypass the filter with a wire link straight to the antenna socket then check the RF output? It should confirm if the problem is in the filter or not. Ian VK2GL

Re: QDX: Sometimes only getting RX after PTT
Hi, yes I saw it many times after switching band when testing the finished QDX. I used the "CAT command test" in terminal mode. I happened to be listening to the audio and watch it on a

Re: ceramic disc caps? #20m #40m
All this is nice and does make a lot of sense. Unfortunately for me, after constructing the kit and then trying to adjust the turns on L1 - L3, I don't get a response to the power output when I

Re: ceramic disc caps? #20m #40m
From Hans's UTube tutorial on aligning the LPF I might make mention to that part of the tutorial where he specifically tells the viewer to add/remove turns to the toroid according to whether one gets

QDX QRV in Virginia USA
This is a wonderful little radio.? Very sensitive and seemingly "bulletproof".? Very good build instructions.? Just a bit over 5 Watts output at 9.5 VDC. Well done Hans. 73, N4TVC, Randy

Re: QDX: Sometimes only getting RX after PTT
I got this when switching from FT8 to WSPR. The fix was simple enough - either change bands and then return to band of choice, or do the same with a mode change. -- John AE5X https://ae5x.blogspot.com

Re: Considering a club project kit
Based on Hans's record with other kits, notably the revisions of the QCX, I expect that all the current known issues with the QDX will be resolved on the Rev 2 board. The inductors will be replaced

Re: Hints for successfully building the QDX
Yup, you're absolutely right, Evan, and I should know better ! I was referring to *Dave* 's (k2lyv) comment: " *Also before soldering the power and USB connectors, insert the leads for the 200uF

Ditto - same here. Using WSJT-X. -- John AE5X https://ae5x.blogspot.com

Re: QDX: Sometimes only getting RX after PTT
I was also able to replicate the behavior on WSJT-X when switching bands. It's intermittent though. -- Ryan Flowers - W7RLF MiscDotGeek - QRP and More (Website) ( http://miscdotgeek.com/ ) *QDX* News,

QDX: Sometimes only getting RX after PTT
Hi all, First off: I Love the QDX. I'm going to do a video review soon. But before I do, I want to know if anyone else experiences this issue: When switching bands, I get spurious input on the

Hi Karl, I am one of the "Mentors" for the NSRC club and have been doing the same research over the past year.? We recommend that first-time builders start with an "I Can Solder" kit that is simple
