Re: QLG1 build

Good news! My yellow LED definitely pulses the whole time. But since you get the green 1pps pulses you are definitely locked on. I agree, the GPS is very sensitive. It works very well! Happy

Re: QLG1 build

Thanks Michael and Gregg for the responses. I should know better than to work on projects at 1:00 AM (or later!!) This morning I connected an old 5V "wall wart" supply. Although I did not see the

Re: #qcx CAT control #qcx

Yep. If a code block is never reused in the program, it might be best to do the code "in line". However, I am guilty of writing functions in a program that only uses that code block once. In that

Re: #qcx CAT control #qcx

Hi Jack Yes all agreed... though a novice programmer will find the first version easier to read and understand and change than the second "better" version ;-) Use of memset will probably slightly

Re: #qcx CAT control #qcx

Hi Hans: Alas, I've probably forgotten any assembler skills I used to have. I spend some of my time now trying to find ways to use standard C more efficiently. Indeed, in my Beginning C book, I spend

FOR THE RECORD Hi, Alan and company That loud BAAAAAA you heard across the pond was a very sheepish Jim. I went in my toy room, removed the NAS carcass from the top of the Elenco XK-500 "trainer"

Hi Fred Ah yes OK. Then Ralf is right, it IS twisted by any reasonable definition of twisted. Apologies. My typo. Even on re-reading it I could see my own error! FR Receive VFO FT Transmit VFO 73

Hans, I suspect that Ralf is referring to - FR: Get/set Transmit VFO Mode: 0 = VFO A; 1 = VFO B; (2 = Split only for Set) FT: Get/set Receive VFO Mode: 0 = VFO A; 1 = VFO B; (2 = Split only for

Re: QLG1 build

On mine, the yellow LED starts pulsing. This will continue to pulse, and the green LED will kick in once you get a lock on several satellites. I would try the full 5v. 4v probably isn't enough. 73,

Re: Wrong band selected

Depending on the firmware version, the factory reset is menu 7.8 or 7.9. Anyway, it is under the 'Other' menu and the prompt will make it pretty clear. 73, Gregg

Re: #qcx #cat T1.03y beta for CAT control #qcx #cat

Hi Ralf It depends on your definition of correct, and your definition of twisted. The description is correct. The TS-480 probably does not quite function the same as the QCX so some changes were

Re: QLG1 build

As I understand it the QLG1 needs a 5 volt supply, i also managed to fall into this trap with a supply of around 4.5 volts, Hope this helps. Vy 73 Mike

Hello Denis Thanks very much for the testing results on 1.03y. Glad to hear that the keyer problems have gone. Congratulations on the FB DX with TR8CR, I admit to having to look him up on QRZ.com
