Re: QSX
George, try the Elecraft W1 watt/SWR meter kit.? Very neat design and measures down to about a tenth of a watt.? Also provides a neat light show in operation. Somewhat pricey but a very neat kit.?

Re: QSX - antenna work in the rain
Hi there, same name. Fancy meeting you here. Bill, shouldn't antenna erecting be done while stark naked in a roaring thunderstorm? Better wait until after dark though! 72 / 73, Bill, N4QA

Re: QSX - antenna work in the rain
Hi, I think putting up antennas under severe thunderstorms would give the best results. I am not brave enough (foolish enough?) to try that. It looks like it will rain in a little while. I am waiting

An even simpler method for going "...where no man has gone before"...ok, few men...outside the design band of your QCX
Just read the QCX assembly manual, section 4.9 Frequency Presets. The manual which I have is Rev 1.11, and it's on page 75. Have fun ! 72 / 73, Bill, N4QA ps 'Mr 72' is Oleg Borodin, RX3G ( formerly,

Re: 20m QCX RF Output Question
#qcx
I removed 2 turns on L1 and L3 in QCX 20m. I removed 1 turn on L2. At 13.8V I now have 5.2W at 50ohm load. With the QCX 40m I didn't have to do anything and the result is the same. Zdenek OK2BQN
