Just Tim the capacitor lead and the exposed pin, then solder them together. Keep the warm hot so you don't have to hold the heat on too long. Pick any ground connection. The electricity doesn't know

Good afternoon. Does anyone have technique suggestions for connecting the 47uF capacitor to IC1 pin 15. We have already assembled the circuit boards. should we somehow solder directly to the exposed

I got a nice LiFePO4 battery from Talentcell recently. It's a 12Ah model, chargeable with a standard lead-acid charger because of a built in charge management system. It's going to go into a lovely

I had the opportunity to talk to the fine Bioenno people at Pacificon 2019, and I’m impressed by the quality of their batteries. I had to fly home so carrying a Lithium battery on board an aircraft

Hi Allison, I considered commenting more directly about QRP AM but held off. CBers (legal ones) run about 4 watts of AM and with decent antennas and propagation have cross continent and even

Use this and make a hole in the case with a 3D printed grommet to hold the charging jack in the hole to make it accessible from the outside.

There are several other ceramic water switches sold on eBay, include actual Centralab NOS for reasonable money. But I've bought both large and small diameter cheapo ceramic rotary switches of Chinese

I am curious how that would be implemented given how I have not been able to find a charging board for NiMH cells that will handle simultaneous charging of 8-10 AA cells. It's a similar situation from

Hans, I don't think you will have time for this, but here is a suggestion: I sympathize with the thread discussing the larger size of the QCX+. Given the quality of the QCX, many will want the radio

Did see anyone comment on QRP AM but being a phone op I'e run contacts usign the FT817 at 1.25W, also 25W from the Tentec Eagle. It works. SSB has more punch and some advantage but I've run my Tentec

Hi Scot, Sorry for the delay in replying, I didn’t check here yesterday. I’ve unpackaged everything and the board says QRP Labs 2017 3 in the bottom right corner. 73 Keith. -- QSO365 - My amateur

Use rechargeable batteries. Leave the screws alone! 8-) _._

AM is the most demanding of the HF modes. Only truly dedicated QRPers will attempt QRP AM.

Use rechargeable batteries and build the charger into the case, or provide an external connector for the charger and/or backup batteries for extended use. 73 Evan AC9TU

I built a G7FEK antenna. It's designed to only be used at 25 feet height (more height does nothing) and is compact. It works on 80 through 10 with no tuner needed. Right now I'm not using this because

Does it work ? QRP that is. Proved it to myself many times over the years going back to my using a HW8 around 1982. That worked into the USA with around 1.5 watts on 15 meters and rubbish wire

Any way to put a charger connector on the case? Jack, W8TEE

Question, If you place the batteries inside of the transceiver then presumably you're going to need to remove the case to remove the batteries in order to charge them. It seems like the screws used to

Carl, The short answer is yes you can get a single antenna to work MOST of the bands, provided you have enough length to string it
