Re: Raspberry pi setup for d4d
This happens on 20 when the band is very crowded and calling cq. Replying to others is ok.

Re: Raspberry pi setup for d4d
Hi Ron,
This was my first run with it on a pi zero, worked fb! Not as snappy starting the app from boot etc as the pi 3b+ which also works great. In the field, I believe the performance/ power consumption of the zero will suit me just fine :).
Don't know what Trent is on about, if it doesn't work, explain my screen shot.
73 all
Simon.

Is the antenna a linked dipole or just a cut for single band?

Raspberry pi setup for d4d
while I wait for my d4d kit in the mail, I setup Raspberry pi zero with wsjt-x, and vnc from iPad.
should be a fun addition to my portable setup!
looking forward to receiving my kit :)

Folks,
My shipping agent made a mistake to have swapped the shipment of a HT-1A kit and an assembled kit, one to United States and the other to New Zealand.
Based on the latest review, I see the issue is fixed at US side with smile. One the other hand, in New Zealand, the gentleman forwarded the wrong shipment for me and he was pleased with my new shipment.

| Great little rig!? | Time owned: 0 to 3 months |
|---|
I ordered an assembled HT-1A from CRKITS, but they shipped me the kit instead. Adam was very willing to do what was needed to make things right, but wasn't able to get an assembled unit shipped to me before Field Day. So I opted to take a refund of the difference and build the kit myself. I'm glad I did.
This was the first kit that I've built entirely by myself. But the instructions (you have to download), and Adam's Youtube video for the build, convinced me to give it a try. It took me quite a bit longer than the two hours advertised in which to put this kit together, but I was determined not to make a rookie mistake. I have never had to wind toroids before, so I sought additional instructions on that (thank goodness for the internet). It wasn't too hard for this first-timer, and the radio came to life with the first toggle of the power switch.
I am very impressed with this little radio. I compared it side by side with my Ten-Tec Argonaut V, on a night with poor propagation and heavy QRN. I could not perceive a difference between the two receivers. I enjoy QRP fox hunts, and working split frequencies is no problem with the XIT on this rig.
I ordered the HT-1A to use in the field, but I find it being my go-to QRP rig in the shack. At $150 I would think Adam would have a hard time keeping any in stock. |

Re: New Record: D4D QSO Distance
Folks,
Thanks for letting me know. I had thought you guys all haven't had chance to take a look at the kit yet :-D
Thanks, Adam
Hi Adam ? DSB Tx works perfect!
My first QSO with 1 Watt was HB to Spain (EA) abt 1700km!
Very surprising also with the actual condx. ? 73s Beat/HB9CRE ? ? Bob, It is less than one watt DSB mode for 20m band.

Today he refreshed by a QSO with W4UAT with distance of 11233km. He got report of -19dB! His rig is our D4D 20m and the antenna is an EFHW.

Bryan,
It is not recommended as the DSB signal spectrum is not clear due to Inter-Modulation Distortion. It may cause serious adjacent channel interference if you add a PA. Personally I think 1-watt is more than enough for FT8, especially for 20m. BG7IKK already achieved 2 QSO's over 9000km.
Thanks, Adam

Re: New Record: D4D QSO Distance
Hi Adam,
OK thanks so much.
Nice to hear QRPp is still ok for dx.
New QTH is just steps away from the ocean but just to hot now.
When it cools down I will be back on with an end fed running 5 watts.
73?
