Re: QDX v3 Lost transmit on 20/30/40 #troubleshooting #qdx
Thank you Evan. I only have one to measure and wasn¡¯t sure. -- Colin Kaminski - K6JTH https://www.qsl.net/k6jth/

Re: QDX v3 Lost transmit on 20/30/40 #troubleshooting #qdx
Marc, The current you are reading on receive is too high.? I would recommend pulling and checking the BS170 MOSFETS.? I suspect that one or more have turned into resistors instead of being MOSFETs.

Re: QDX v3 Lost transmit on 20/30/40 #troubleshooting #qdx
The current draw is the total from the power supply.? The amount depends on the voltage.? Most rev 3 builds the same receive current: 140 to 160ma.? Rev 1 builds are lower, around 110 to 120ma.?

Re: PCB BOARD too long #pcbversion #qcx
I found it a very tight fit to get all 3 boards to align perfectly. Plus, I did not do a perfect job in aligning the 3.5mm jacks.So, I spent some time with a file taking a few thousands off of here

Re: 50W PA considerations #qdx
Stefan : I own one of the Chinese-made MX-P50M amps and I like it. I have not yet used it with a QDX as the only QDX I have built at the moment is a REV1 with no external PTT connection. I have

Re: #qdx Fall threshold won't stay set #qdx
I still have to run the configuration and change the fall threshold from 255 to 60 every time I power up the QDX, a real nuisance. I tried entering 60, saving EEPROM.qdx to disc and then writing it

Re: 50W PA considerations #qdx
My hesitation would be inadequate lowpass filtering. Do the Amps have proof they comply with the FCC requirements? If not I would not purchase one. This is important because your harmonics are spotted

Re: QDX v3 Lost transmit on 20/30/40 #troubleshooting #qdx
Thanks for the clarification, measured the current at the output of the buck converter. ?.19 mA, which at 9V gives me 170mW on receive. ?I hope that means I¡¯m not pulling transitors? -- Marc N8LO

Re: PCB BOARD too long #pcbversion #qcx
Yep, noticed it. Put a few more score marks in the groove with an exacto blade and they popped right off. Thanks for your response though.

Re: PCB BOARD too long #pcbversion #qcx
It¡¯s just a PCB finishing error from the factory. There should be a groove cut into the PCB, you just snap it off using even pressure. If there is not a groove then you may have a bigger issue.

Re: QRP Labs VFO/Signal generator and Kenwood TS-520 VFO
Yes, you need at least: C1, R6, R5, Q1, C4, T1, C5, to come with the signal to the LPF. Yes PA B+ connect to +5V. you have W1-W0 and W2-W3 connected instead of a relay. I would in your case try a

50W PA considerations #qdx
Hi guys, ... I've read a lot on the list lately about Hans' 50W PA ... but as it is only single band, I ask myself whether anyone of you guys has tried out the chinese multiband PAs for QRP radios,

Re: QDX: Receiving great but needs more audio output gain in order to xmit for more than 250 milliseconds.

Bojan, I connected W1-W0, W2-W3 and jumper at R3. No power. On page 11, in the Assembly manual,? I see C5 C8 C4 R6 pot Are all these required and also PA + AND 5 volts jumper? Charles Brown

Re: QDX v3 Lost transmit on 20/30/40 #troubleshooting #qdx
Evan, you are getting this to a very concise set of steps. It is really helpful. What is the transmit current draw expected at the power supply on the QDX? -- Colin Kaminski - K6JTH
