Re: Magloop prototype
Hello all, Thought I would give an update. I have finished programming the beta code for my magloop control. It tracks its tuning via SWR using the transmit signal...and the darn thing actually works.

Re: QCX Arrived!!
Reminds me of my ATS-3 I used to own that I put in an Altoids case. I have always regretted that I sold that radio.

Re: QCX Arrived!!
Also, you want to consider any case for the QCX, whether you will want to mount, particularly, the two pots remote from the PCB.? You can later parallel in additional switches and jacks but not two

Re: QCX Arrived!!
Advice? Take your time and follow the instructions carefully. Double check each component before soldering. Don't rush the build. Relax and enjoy it. The qcx is a fantastic little radio that performs

Take it one step further...use 300 ohm twin lead overlapped with a heavier gauge wire.
