Re: 20m QCX RF Output Question
#qcx
I installed new caps, removed turns from L1, L2, and L3. I checked the voltages on the IC chip (IC3 I things). Never did figure it out. Based on the other input I¡¯ve received, I¡¯m just leaving

Re: Strange audio issue

Hi Rob Is your QCX in a metal case? If so I may be able to shed some light as I had similar experiences, If it is not in a metal case then I don't have any solution for you! Cheers Ian G4GIR Sent:

Re: Qrp-labs and a Huff and Puff circuit board
No Hans I think you are being quite a realist in your comment about a huff'n'puff kit. Afterall there is a reason that Cumbria Designs no longer sells the X-Lock kit which I now wish to essentially

Now looking for a 20m CW Q on my QCX-17
Plenty of FT8 sigs...even a few JS8 sigs on 20m right now using the QCX-17. The attached screen shot shows my 'app' ;0) and RBN spots of the QCX-80 and QCX-17 under external freq control. BTW, some

Re: QCX 40 Woes
Hi Mike. I get that a lot when my rig, PC etc try to become part of my antenna system, especially when using an external 'amplified speaker'. Could you describe your antenna & feedline...and any audio

Now listening to WWV at 15000 kHz on the QCX-17
Once conditions had faded here on 5000 kHz late this morning, playing with the QCX-80 became less fun so, I unhooked the??Chameleon?interface from the QCX-80 and connected it to the QCX-17. WWV has

Re: Qrp-labs and a Huff and Puff circuit board
Hans and Mike I would encourage Mike to try building his own H&P frequency stabilizer. Initial look at the design may seem a bit overwhelming for such a trivial circuit, but it really is not that
