Re: Battery
For my QDX and QCXs I use a Power Delivery capable phone charging power pack and a PD trigger set to the voltage I need. The same battery pack will deliver either 8.8 volts for my QDX or 11.7 volts

Re: Battery
That is a starting battery, it is designed to supply a high current for a short period then be quickly recharged and is intolerant of deep discharge; a single deep discharge can do significant

Re: Battery
Hi Paul, Yes, that battery would work, though it would not be optimum as it is not a deep-cycle battery.? Walmart does make a U1-AGM battery that is designed for the type of operation that you

Re: Battery

Re: QDX went "bang", literally, Q10 blown
Don't overdo the sanding - just a slight amount to flatten the concave surface to adhere to a heatsink with some paste!

Re: My QDX went almost deaf (something's wrong with op-amp bias?)
Adam, Good work! Do you still have the caps shorted, C71-C74? IMO, that would have to be a pretty good spike to travel that far through the chain to not messed something else up. Surge suppression

Re: QDX FST4W-300 Transmits only 2 tones? #qdx
And here is the QDX transmitting FST4W-1800: Note that the tone spacing is only *0.089 Hz* , and the QDX is tracking these accurately and cleanly.? Pretty amazing! But there does remain a frequency

Re: QDX now running cooler
Yes, according to my Elecraft W1 wattmeter, there is no change, all bands still report about 5W. BTW, I built the 12V version.
