Re: QDX - No RF output, Tx line stays low
I have much the same experience. CAT is lost. Sometimes around 3 startup attempts before it works again for a while. Several times on startup or during an attempt to recover from lost CAT I have seen

Re: BNC connector position on the QCX mini
Thanks guys! I will try to make sure it¡¯s parallel to the PCB. And maybe use an enclosure to check if it fits nicely. 73, Victor PA8MM

Re: QDX - No RF output, Tx line stays low
Hi Hans, When it does happen, the LED is on solid, with no flashing.? I wait until it is solid before opening WSJT-X.? Then I either get operation as normal or the input bar is either high or low

Re: QDX - No RF output, Tx line stays low
Hi Evan To know where QDX is in firmware update mode or not, you only need to look at the status LED. A slow continuous flash means firmware update mode. In power up in normal operating mode the

Re: QDX - No RF output, Tx line stays low
Hi Hans, I still do not know what the underlying issue is with the two Windows 10 systems that I have tried so far.? I can say that I can now reliably connect and use the QDX on one of them, it may

Re: Wondering ?
I didn't know gas tube lightning protectors before reading here. Does the ground connection need to have a dedicated grounding (hard to achieve from my flat on the second floor of a bulding...) or can

Re: QDX - No RF output, Tx line stays low
Hi Evan I did test on Windows. It takes a while to boot up but if you're patient Win10 does work OK. I find it frustrating but it works. I didn't have any problems connecting or operating QDX from

Re: QDX - No RF output, Tx line stays low
It may seem counterintuitive, but this tool works better if there is plenty of solder on/in/around the hole. The reason is that with more solder, there is more contact with the tip of the desoldering

Re: QDX - No RF output, Tx line stays low
Jay, I have found a tool like this to be the best: https://smile.amazon.com/ECG-J-045-DS-Electric-Soldering-Temperature/dp/B00068IJSG/ Note: This is not the exact tool that I have, as I cannot find

Re: QDX - No RF output, Tx line stays low
Thanks for the advice, Evan. How did you clear the solder from the BS170 holes? I tried wick and was only successful with 2 holes. I didn¡¯t want to be too aggressive as the pads were starting to

Re: L14 question #qdx
Hello Mike, As others have stated, it MAY be OK.? If it were a kit I was building I would strip the wire from the toroid, deburr the toroid, and then rewind.? If you will not be moving the QDX

Re: Qdx smoked - USB #qdx
I too had an issue with sharp edges on T1, even after a quick deburring.? I noted the issue and had to strip out the wire, do an aggressive deburring, and replace it with fresh wire.? Good thing I

Re: QDX issues: Measuring L

Re: QDX - No RF output, Tx line stays low
Hello Jay, FWIW, I had to replace IC5 after determining that it was not working.? I removed the 4 BS170 MOSFET finals and then tested the output of IC5 to the gate pads.? One side had nice square

Hi Ben, Congratulations on finding the problems and the QSO. FYI, I too have the issue of needing to power cycle the QDX a number of times to get a connection.? I have the issue on more than one
