QCX Firmware Update - High SWR
I think I'm missing something. This behavior is so bizarre: Purchased 1.09a chip from Hans and inserted into 40m mini. 5 watts out with 1.0:1 SWR into a dummy load. All good! Then tested on my dipole

Re: QDX FLrig JS8Call Pi4
Hi Guys A reminder... Some of you are making it more complicated than it needs to be. Some others are going where no man has gone before. Which is fine too. But it's worth remembering that how to use

John, It's only in the alpha builds. www.w1hkj.conm/alpha/flrig <http://www.w1hkj.conm/alpha/flrig>. You'll have to compile it yourself. To do that for any of the flxxx apps go here and follow the

Re: Multiple U4Bs to Track
Hi Joe How many balloons do you intend to launch at the same time with the same call sign.? Technically it is possible with the QRP-LABS tracking website, as long as the channel number is different,

Re: QDX FLrig JS8Call Pi4
I think I found the way out. I went back to FLrig and selected QCH+. It activated. I then went to JS8Call and there is a QCX/QDX radio type. AND CAT IS GREEN! Now I need to read the book. All is well.

Re: QDX FLrig JS8Call Pi4
I have fallen down the rabbit hole. I installed HAMlib and I do indeed see a QCX/QDX radio type, but to install that radio selection I need to use pphAdmin. To install this utility I need to install a

Re: Bifilar - Trifler transformer function in Amplification

Timo, It all depends on how the tri-filar is connected. It's just three parallel windings on a toroid. You could connect all three is series, tap one of the common points and get 9:1 or, you could tie

Thank you, Muhsin. I had wondered what I was missing. This gives me something to look at and consider. Always interested in learning, though I'd be apprehensive about not having the LPF's. I may be

Condensed Mods for Rev 3 QDX and Rev 1
Is there somewhere I can find the mods, and fixes for rev 3 in one place? or at least a list of them that I can research.. I'll also need same for some rev 1's thanks 73 Vince N2AIE

Re: Bifilar - Trifler transformer function in Amplification

Thx Ron, Makes sense and is what I expected.? So if bifilar provides a 1:4 impedance step, what would trifilar in the same configuration provide as a impedance step? 73 Timo zr6tm

Re: QDX build option- hybrid lo & hi version?

Hi Stu QDX has 4 BPFs in the front end (selection of the toroid here might be tricky, 37-2 or 37-6) 3 LPFs after the PA output please study the manual for normal and hi-band you'll figure out I did

Re: Bifilar - Trifler transformer function in Amplification

Hi Tim. In this case it is providing a 1:4 impedance step up from the 12.5 ohm FET Drain to 50 ohms at the input of the low pass filter. Ron

Re: Bifilar - Trifler transformer function in Amplification

Thx Dave and Paul, Looking at the snip I agree that the bifilar winding 1 connects the 12v supply to the drain of the mosfet.? Winding 1 then connects to Winding 2 to provide the PA output.? Sorry

I presume, because your question is not sufficiently clear, that you are talking about a push pull amplifier, where a bifilar or two winding transformer is connected between the FET Drains and the

Re: Bifilar - Trifler transformer function in Amplification

IMHO, the reason for trifilar is for /tight coupling/ and /balance/ between the windings. For when "close" _isn't_ good enough! ;-) Paul
