I'm building my third QCX+, this one for 20 meters. Getting close to the point where I wind L3. On my 30 meter unit I had to clip a lead, remove two turns, and re-solder the coil to the board. As Hans

Factory resetting didn't help. What would I be looking for in terms of oscillation in the filter stages? Are we just talking about either a short between the input and output of one of the op-amps/a

Re: QCX mini, typical receive current with AGC and TCXO boards installed
I think the 58 mA without backlight was with the original Mini design using the low current opamps and the original voltage regulator. Some of those parts were changed and the current drain went up.

OK Jake, I think you may have an oscillation in one of the audio filter stages ... IC8A or B or IC9B. But first, since you see the different stuff every time you turn it on, I think it would be a good

IC10 gives 5.8V on all pins except for 0V on pin 4 and 12V on pin 8. The volume is indeed very loud, it is only bearable to wear the earplugs in maybe the lowest 5% of the volume knob travel. Also,

Peter, With the one I tested (and I do not think the QLG2s I now have are different) Galileo worked, my notes give restrictions of combinations. As Hans says, no. I *think* a proper backup battery

Re: QCX mini, typical receive current with AGC and TCXO boards installed
Don, my measurements (with a Fluke 179) are roughly the same as yours on my 40m QCX-mini on a 13.3V supply: about 86mA without backlight, 100mA with. Given that the manual shows draw of a (stock)

Hi Peter Commands aren't remembered in NVRAM. You need to reissue commands after power cycle. I believe you are correct about the timestamp. 73 Hans G0UPL http://qrp-labs.com

Hi Jake. The 5 volts on pin 3 (as well as 1 and 2) of IC9 is correct. The 2,2 volt readings are also close enough. But you didn't mention IC10 unless it was grouped with all but IC9 in the discussion.

Having looked at that English version more carefully, it raises more questions than it answers!? For example, if you look at command 151, it says that Galileo is not supported in this firmware level.

Upon completing the QCX Mini, I set the reference frequency to 25MHz (TCXO); then tried adjusting the bandpass filter. Adjusting C1 changes the audio output amplitude, and a maximum can be reached
