Jack, I suspect it is people are just not trying because the bands don't have much except on contest days. I use DX Lab with DX Atlas to look at the CW/digital activity. There appears to be more

How well does it work as a normal QRP transceiver? Can you use it for RTTY? Because of age I now prefer to use RTTY rather than CW. Bob Macklin K5MYJ Seattle, Wa. "Real Radios Glow In The Dark"

Mine works pretty good. I have made a couple dozen contacts on forty and thirty. A great toy for 50 bucks. Terry w6leo

Bob: It's very true that conditions right now suck compared to the 70's. I had regular sked's for phone patch traffic between our military personnel stationed on Guam and the Marshall Islands and

JIm, It was phasing and also could also do AM synchronous. Allison -- Please reply on the group, no private emails we as a group get to share info that way.

All this is specious to me. If it was a kilowatt kit with the likelihood of hundreds of them operating simultaneously all over each band, then maybe it an issue. It something to experiment with for

Bob, That is totally correct unless you are in the first 100khz. Allison -- Please reply on the group, no private emails we as a group get to share info that way.

Part of the problem with ham radio today is ready built radios are too expensive for a lot of us. 70 years ago we could buy a surplus BC-453 (Q5'er) for $5 and build a converter to put in front of

My memory tell me the NorCal Sierra first converts the incoming signal to about 8MHz then the VFO is used to convert that to the 4.9MHz IF. The crystals used are 8MHz above the band lower edge. Bob

and on a lighter note ..website american radio history" <https://www.americanradiohistory.com> just uploaded about all QST mags up thru 1949 ..read Norgaard's article in July 1948 on a "phasing

I second the notion. Build it, use it and see what it does. I built the kit and put it on the air and worked almost 30 Qs with it. I am not a fan of the mode after the fact. You just point and

That message was mis-sent to the wrong group. Should have been to QCXlabs.io The problem was found via a reply with links to previous messages. Cleaned up some soldering and all is well, really

Bob, The norcal sierra is a single conversion. The uBitx is double conversion with the 45mhz and 12/11.052 second if. the difference is notable. There are many single conversion CW radios and a

Thank you everyone for the responses, and even a couple of private emails! I have some reading/learning to do and I'm going to have to get EMFRD from the Library again. I also want to go with a

BTW: There is no FCC rule about using DSB/SC. It was quite common in the early days of SSB. It was the suppression of the carrier that was desired. It has the same bandwidth as a normal AM

Both are easy, just different. The problem is the one that is least understood will be scarier. The difference is trading critical RF sections for more parts in the audio section. The big feature

How about a double conversion Rx based on the NorCal Sierra design. All the crystals for the HF converter are available from Mouser or DigiKey. They are standard frequencies.You can substitute a LC

LOL at Randy's post. QRPGuys aren't the only ones out there with a DSB FT8 kit. People need to get over all of this. It isn't meant to be a serious radio, it could be very fun to play with like

Sad ... Still when I just looked, this is being sold to be ran under 'computer-control' by the "wsjt-x" program ... Not exactly rag-chew modes ....purchased a similar device (from hans summers)

Adam Rong (BD6CR) wrote this in his manual for his D4D/FT8 kit: "Do we have to worry about the unwanted Lower Side Band (LSB) and Inter-Modulation Distortion (IMD)? Maybe, but for a transmitter of
