K5AHE If you have "bricked" an Arduino or the AVR micro-controller in your QCX it may still be possible to recover and reprogram the chip.

Hello Hans, I am another one who has bricked the 828p memory of two QCX memories in the process of upgrading to T1.01a. Previous T1.00x upgrades were successful. I have on order 2 replacements that

Hi Joe, JS8Call isn't part of the Joe Taylor suite of modes. It was developed by Jordan Sherer KN4CRD, who wanted to see if one of those popular modes could be useful for actual communication :) I'm

I hadn't looked at JS8call before. It now seems like I have to eat my words....pass the salt! Joe

Check out JS8Call. It's a modified form of FT8 mode with same weak-signal properties, but allows any free-text you want. You can send the entire Geneva Bible if you want :). Also has "ping"

Amazing how CW seems to be timeless for weak signal work. Sure these special digital modes are pushing the envelope but not much of a data payload. Joe

 Back in the 1960's I worked with RTTY. We did send real messages. In an emergency I think RTTY is better than SSB, I remember the 1964 Alaskan earthquake. The only way to communicate between

If you like to watch machines talk to each other. Joe

FT8 and similar are good for contesting and for what qqualifies as a DX QSO under poor conditions. Conversation not much takes a long time and you don't get to say much. I can explain it all but

What are they really good for? I have been told they are not good for typical QSO operation. I have several decent SSB receivers but only one SSB transmitter. All other transmitters are CW/AM.

I have a first run QCX 17 that i just updated the software to the latest version. 1.02b. I've been playing with the WSPR feature for a few days, but now want to get out of it. Well I can't. I've tried

They require a SSB radio to put clean single tone signals out. it is possible to do it without SSB but then the software would have to drive a 5351 or DDS directly. There are no standard for that or

I looked at the Joe Taylor mode stuff. The webpage says you need a SSB transceiver? Do you really? These don't seem to be SSB modes. What are they? How do they work? Bob Macklin K5MYJ Seattle, Wa

Hi Arv CAT control has always been part of the QSX spec see http://qrp-labs.com_qsx 73 Hans G0UPL http://qrp-labs.com

Well it's been great all week, zero problems. I read last night that they were trying to get the old database re-atached or something and producing the daily or monthly download files. Looks like it's

Hans I wonder how many of those who wanted CAT really have a QCX to try it on? But it was not wasted effort. Having experience with herding cats you may now be prepared to offer some version of
