One last suggestion use the external jumper option because if the PA quits you cannot use the QCX barefoot, it does not have a straight through powered off option. So the hardwired version means

P.S. For 50W operation I would keep the heatsinks, and have them bolted on top of the QCX+ enclosure. PPS. Note of course, the other EASIEST option is separate 50W PA unit and QCX+ which also looks

Yes. It is as Allison says. If I was gonna install the 50W PA in the QCX+ I'd drill holes in the top for the IRF510s, the same as is done for the 50W PA enclosure, and bolt the 50W PA in the roof of

How 'bout this, Allison: If you see the tag line "Off topic" and it's from me, don't read it. That way you won't have to waste your time reading it or serving as the Post Police. Jack, W8TEE

A good reference image from the very detailed manual. It give the sandwich of the board, IRF510s and the case plus heatsinks. End view. The manual has a lot of pictures so all of this should be

>>> Can you separate the IRF510 and heatsink from the board with wires? No, lead inductance and inter lead capacitance are really bad juju. Its more than bad to separate them by any distance.

Peter, Where can I get info on the new QCX rig that is coming out probably later this year? Is it possible it is a multi band unit? I am just coming up to speed on my 20 meter QCX, but looking

Hi Ted and Hans, I'm so glad you provided that glimpse of Akihabara (especially the photos), as my post had already grown far too long. Family and friends have diagnosed themselves as suffering from

Hi Serge I use these folding feet on my rig which employs very similar boxes to the one destined for the QCX+ https://www.metcase.co.uk/en/Enclosure-Feet/M6420204.htm Roger I have successfully made

I didn't mean to imply that the HW-16 is my only hollow state electronics - just that it's on the bench. I recreated my '60s novice station with a rare, and weird, Mosley CM-1 receiver, Heathkit

I would prefer a wire bail that folds down, rather than folding feet. I find that folding feet (e.g. like on the Drake R8) tend to be flimsy. Roger G3YTN --- *************************** Roger Hill
