Re: QDX Extremely Low Receive Volume

Karl,
I found this link when searching for PuTTY on Mac:
https://www.ssh.com/academy/ssh/putty/mac
Note that there is a terminal built into the Mac OS, so you do not really need to download PuTTY.?

Re: A couple QDX questions: 60 meters? & 9v vs 12v
Just like with any other regulator design you want to use low ESR
capacitors. MLCCs usually are, tantalums usually are, and disk ceramics
usually are. Verify before whipping something together out

Re: QDX - rig control error
I don't know exactly why, but when I've had issues getting rig control to work on MacOS or Linux I've found that FLRIG is more forgiving.
Try setting up FLRIG to control it and then set WSJT-X to work

Re: A couple QDX questions: 60 meters? & 9v vs 12v
Hi Bill,
I just used the typical 78xx schematic and MLCC capacitors that I had on
hand. E.g. Mouser 581-SA115E334ZAA or similar. I don't think the component
choice is terribly critical, but MLCC is

Karl,
You need to use a terminal program.
Is there something on a MAC or a version of Putty?
Look at the manual, the audio level needs adjusting.

Re: A couple QDX questions: 60 meters? & 9v vs 12v
I am building mine for 9V for the same reason, to use with batteries. I
have a couple of different switching converters and can always do a linear
regulator for home use.
I also think that 9V will

Re: A couple QDX questions: 60 meters? & 9v vs 12v
I liked the idea of building my QDX for 9v as I thought the occasional use
off a lower voltage battery and still maintain 5W would be nice. Plus 'more
efficient' sounded good to me, too, and I also
