Re: WSPR Receive Frequency on QCX Mini With TCXO
The QCX-mini has a very sharp CW-filter with center at 700 Hz. Try tuning your QCX-mini at *14.0964* MHz. Then you can hear(!) WSPR. At oder versions of WSPR-software you can change the pitch so you

WSPR Receive Frequency on QCX Mini With TCXO
Hi,
Can someone please advise?? I want to use my 20M QCX Mini with TCXO to listen to WSPR using WSJTx. Do I set my receive frequency to 14.0956 MHz, or 14.0971MHz?
My PC time is spot on, but I

S meter works well.
With the LPF sweep I suspect that the chosen output power is too much for the LPF test as it is obvious that half of the sweep goes into the filtered zone.

At the moment yes that's the design. The IQ mode abandons all subsequent
audio processing after sending the audio to the PC. Including AGC. And yes

Well, after some sweating, I managed to talk to it after rebooting the PC as well as the QMX.
I am back on version 16. I don't know whether I will ever have the nerve to try 17 again!

Re: QDX - No transmit on 80M

OK! Glad that worked!
A word of caution, though. Your power supply is pretty high for running a
12V QDX. You might want to bring it down a couple of volts, or perhaps two
silicon diode drops in

That did the trick! I looked closely at the joints for L1 and L2 and noticed that one of L2's? pads (nearest IC3) wasn't fully flowed around the wire. It passed the continuity check when I assembled

The usual culprit causing no output on one band is a bad solder joint at
