Thanks Jonas, I have seen them used but never realised the potential:-)

Will do. Thanks Greg. -- Jim VE4BWG

Don't you love it when it's something simple. Have some radio fun often. :) GREG Yahoo Mail: Search, Organize, Conquer

Never underestimate the usefulness of Mark I eyeballs. :) I recently practiced SMD soldering and rework with some cheap practice PCBs I got off Amazon. Unless it's the really, really tiny stuff, I fou

There are a few different failures that could cause the measurements you are seeing, including D109. IC101 should output 3.3-3.6V or so, and you only see 2.17, so either the IC101 circuit is not putti

You press the right encoder button, which copies the currently viewed preset into VFO A. If that doesn't work, you should check the functionality of your right encoder button.

It's entirely possible to have only 1.5 watts out with all finals working. The LPF toroids may just need to be tweeked. Also, depending on other factors, like line imbalance and impedance differences,

Well it turns out that after removing the PCM1804 I still have a low resistance on pin 22 to analog and digital ground. I traced it to one of the plug-in power supply boards (8-pin 4x4 connector). Som

You have one or two options that I am aware of... #1 - Use an external keyer that plugs between your computer and the QCX Mini. #2 - Send CAT commands to the QCX Mini to send the CW. Hans explains the

With the USB audio being independent of the volume control on the radio, you can use digital modes without having audio output to your headphones. I often turn the volume completely down while working

I completed a QMX mid band from Dayton and it functions flawlessly (4-5 watts all bands). But I had 2 major constructions fails. 1. Soldered both push buttons on the bottom of the control board. SOLUT

Thank you everyone for the advice and knowledge. This radio is actually the first kit I've assembled so it's encouraging to know that it seems to be working as intended, moving forward I will buy or a

OK, after cleaning up solder area with alcohol, the issue was solved. I should have cleaned it before power it up, I thought it was very clean, but apparently, not clean enough. feel guilty to suspect

Ouch. If you had sent this before changing out the diodes I would have said just leave them. I too soldered them with the less than desirable orientation. When I starting test fitting the wound toroid

Hello Rob I have fixed problems with the WSPR beacon functionality in the forthcoming 1_00_015 firmware release. 73 Hans G0UPL http://qrp-labs.com https://www.buymeacoffee.com/g0upl

...and yet, some of us find the SWR measurement to be quite accurate, even at lower powers/output. So YMMV.

So it is the TX spectrum or audio input from the PC and not the RX spectrum that gets analyzed?! I think I completely misunderstood what this thing is supposed to do then. 😆 If one reads "Waterfall" a
