“the rest is just software”
Maybe to you, but I’m not a software nor an Arduino guy, nor am I interested in becoming one. At my age, I have desires to do more things than I’ll ever

Re: What are you QRP guys using to measure power?

Should be easy to do. Just a well designed Stockton bridge to sample
both SWR and PWR, then use an Arduino ADC input to read volts and
convert that to show amperes FWD, amperes REV, watts FWD,

Re: Battery recommendations for portable ops?
I use battery packs made from 3x18650s. However, take a look at this study by Gwen, NG3P. This will be my next experiment.

Re: What are you QRP guys using to measure power?
Hi,
When I get serious I use an RF probe and DC voltmeter with a 50 ohm load. I also transfer that to my SWR bridge and note where it reads for the power I just read across the 50 ohm load with that

Re: Low Voltage in QCX
Allison,
R1 and R2 are each 9.97K. In circuit, C43, c44, c45, c46, and C6 show no continuity. I will reconnect everything and test the voltage one connection at a time.
Thank you,
Kevin

Re: QCX Plus 50 Watt PA Combo
I actually would prefer it as is so I don't need to add a cutout for an LCD.
Any other holes I can plug. If I don't use the LCD slot I will put a screen behind it.

Me too. The QRPoMeter ( I have two) is accurate, fun to build and worth every penny.

I'm using the QRP guys 12w dummy load hooked to a resistive voltmeter. V squared divided by 100=watts

Re: What are you QRP guys using to measure power?
Interesting. Mine is off at least 50% compared to measuring with a scope. Build has been validated; something is afoot at the Circle K.

Re: QCX-SSB Help what do I do now?

Frank, if you’re talking about the QCX+, go to the qrp lab web site. Look under kits. If you’re talking about the QSX, look under coming soon.

Re: What are you QRP guys using to measure power?
For low power, I use a Marconi TF1152/A. 1960's vintage it uses a thermocouple so the calibration can be checked at DC and it's good to VHF and low UHF. Two ranges of 10 Watts and 25 Watts. No good
