Re: QDX arrived
Also with fldigi, be sure to check the TX level attenuator in the lower right corner. Mine was set to -3 dB, had to set it to 0 to get it to work.

Re: QDX arrived
Hi Phil The default "rising edge threshold" setting in the QDX configuration screen is set to 80%. That's why it only seems to work when the WSJT-X slider is set to maximum. I believe the WSJT-X

Re: QDX arrived
Hi all, Just finished mine between 3.7 and 4.5 W with 12 V depending on band. FWIW, I¡¯m running Windows 10, and WSJTX 2.4.0. I set the Rig to Kenwood TS440S as recommended, but was having trouble

QDX - notes after day 1
My QDX has been on the air for a day, so far on 40m only. Receiver performance has exceeded my expectations. I have built it for 12V operation and am running with 11V at the moment - lots of QSOs with

Toroid Winding

Perhaps this is a silly question.? Why does the image of the transformer toroid in the QCX+ assembly manual show 5/5/5/37 windings when the manual indicates it should be 5/5/5/38? Am I

QRPp with the QDX
#20m

I added a 20 dB, 5 W attenuator in series with the antenna line and have been running 17 dBm = 50 mW on 20m and 40m WSPR. Quite amazing how well the receiver works, even with the attenuation and also

Re: QDX - rig control error
Ken, Bob Thank you for your thoughts.? I will try to find some time later today to try them out.? Mine doesn't pass the CAT test - the errors come up when the button is clicked and I'm pretty sure

Re: QDX firmware minor release 1_01b

Matt, I have never checked but there should be no reason for it to get hot. Have you checked the voltages on IC5? Someone has reported damage to IC5 after a similar BS170 failure. (Does your magnetic

Re: QDX firmware minor release 1_01b

hi Hans, I burned two of the BS170 without making any action in the Software. I run about 25 QSOs on 40m an 30m . Than I changed to 20m using a Magnetic Loop Antenna. Before transmitting I tuned that

Re: QDX , Lost my TX power
Hi Skip, may I ask you a question ? What do you mean with B+ ? Unfortunately the voltage is not the same on all BS170 . I think thats not good. The IC5 is very very warm even during receiving ! IC5

Re: Elecraft KXUSB with QCX Mini
It clearly uses 0/5V levels but it looks inverted compared to "normal" serial signalling at logic level. The first (leftmost) +5V pulse is the start bit which is always a logic zero, normally 0V. It

Re: qdx l12 inductance
Dennis, Section 6.6 of the manual says it is for the BPF. It also shows a "bad" result that Hans dismisses. Obviously a low LPF will also affect it. A low LPF would show by low power output on an
