Re: PCB BOARD too long

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

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,

Hi Marc, As Dan stated, the first step is to connect to a dummy load and verify that the current in receive mode is less than 140ma.? If not, you will need to remove the 4 BS170 MOSFETS and try

Re: QDX PTT to QRP LABS Amp
How would I test this on my two amps. I had made the assumption that because I got the same results on two different amps (20m and 40m version), that the issue had to be with the QDX. I do know that
