After a few days of work I completed my new QRP-Labs Xcvr after having built several years ago a Hi Band QDX.
It was a real pleasure, no surprise due to an excellent manual and the adjustement and alignment were done today without dificulty.
Next step will be to connect it to my Alexloop antenna.
To be sure the 6 aft connectors whould slide nicely into the holes of the back plate I had screwed this plate to the lower enclosure and slid the main PCB each time I added a connector to check its position before finishing to solder it.
The first difficulties I faced were to fit the LCD module and the front panel PCB to the Front panel of the enclosure : I had to cut slightly the nylon nut close to the potentiometer and I could not put in place the other nylon nut close to the encoder, I just left it near the hole in order to keep the good distance between the LCD board and the front PCB.
The Last difficulties happened when I wanted to slid the main PCB inside the enclosure after having put in place the four 12MM spacers which hold the dev kit, the nylon screws below did not slide easily and I had to push quite strongly the PCB inside the enclosure.
WELL I'M HAPPY WITH THIS WONDERFUL KIT AND I'M GRATEFUL TO HANS FOR THIS NICE DESIGN.
