Re: Input voltage for HT-1A?
manual states 14V max, happiest at 12V... that said, i run my Xiegu G1M QRP
rig off four 18650s...i think you'll find you'll only have ~15V out from
your pack... if you're worried, use a charger that

Input voltage for HT-1A?
I just picked up several 4 cell holders for making a battery pack with
18650's, and a supply of used cells. But fully charged cells make for
an initial voltage of 16.7 or so volts.
Do I dare connect

Re: D4D TX power
The mods are good enough. Now you have the flexibility to pursue better IMD
if you inject audio just above VOX trigger point, or higher RF output if
you increase audio.

Re: D4D TX power
Thanks for the fast response Adam!
I did KD1JV diode mod (the left one on your photo below), and replacing C5

Is there any other recommended mod? With the mods I made,

Re: D4D TX power
Congratulations! 600mV is the threshold to trigger the VOX. However, about 50mV is the point to overdrive NE602 per KD1JV. That's why I recommend a modification to improve IMD. Rule of thumb for

D4D TX power
Hi!
I finally assembled my kit in a couple of hours, and I'm very happy with it.
Related to TX power, I read on the manual that needs to be set just at the

Re: HT-1A magic modification
Press and hold a secret key and power on. Check the splash screen for HT-1a instead of HT-1A and now you are good to transmit on 10MHz band before power off.
The spur and sensitivity of 10MHz is not
