Re: QDX: Easy output power adjustment (simple external add-on)

Re: QDX: Easy output power adjustment (simple external add-on)
I forgot to mention: If you build this, leave the diode leads long to help with cooling. Also consider using a capacitor at the output of the switch (as large a value as will fit in the enclosure, at

QDX: Easy output power adjustment (simple external add-on)
My problem was keeping the QDX output power low during antenna tuning.. I didn't want to expose either the external amplifier (when connected) or the QDX PA transistors (when "barefoot") to ridiculous

Re: QDX batch #2 availability, Friday 17-Dec-2021 1800Z
Hi all
I don't have a technical way to enforce one per customer. Checking each order to make sure they hadn't ordered in batch 1, and contacting them if they had to ask why, would be an excessively

Re: QDX batch #2 availability, Friday 17-Dec-2021 1800Z
I think it would be a good idea to limit ordering to one per customer with this small batch.? It would be nice if those who did receive one of the first batch QDX's would hold off ordering from this

I'd recommend a dipole. If you have 65-70 ft of that 18 gauge wire, you can use that.
Dacron cord will do fine for support line. Electric fence insulators will probably be able to be used as end

Re: QDX batch #2 availability, Friday 17-Dec-2021 1800Z
