If your logging software is N1MM+, you may have better results using the "KENWOOD-SLOW" setting. - Bruce K1FFX

Could be a simple issue. Make sure you did not install the know too far on the shaft ( close to the case) or it will not have sufficient travel to activate the switch.

To all Skeeters and Skeeter Hunters, You are ALL chmapions in my book! Thank you all for participating - without you, this event is a big ZERO. You folks make it what it is. And while you're tops,

Phil the 5 watt outside is specified for higher voltage than 13.8 volts. okay a few claim more, but I trust the designer's data. your rigs are working wonderfully 3 watts to 5 watts is a small

John let's not conclude anything yet - but suffice it to say WSPR can be rough on this rig - the original QCX without any heat sinking on the bs170 finals. I can't speak to the qcx+ on WSPR, but the

Not exactly the direction I was looking to turn, but this seems to have some merit, https://www.rtl-sdr.com/rpitx-v2-released-easily-record-and-replay-with-rtl-sdr-and-a-raspberry-pi/ -Justin N2TOH

Tu Ron. At 83 my mind is getting a little rusty. Tu agn. Don...w2xb

Page 138 in the manual... Kenwood TS-480 4.28 CAT Control commands (PC remote operation) The CAT command system is intended to allow the QCX+ to be used with logging software (general and contest)

Need a liitle help. What rig do you select in logging software to use the "cat' on the qcx+? I see the port in my Device manager, but from there I am lost. Don...w2xb (using aclog by n3jfp)

Most of the "12V" power supplies sold to hams are really 13.8V supplies out of the box. (Many of them can be adjusted with an internal trimmer.) A lot of ham gear is designed to operate best at that

Finals are ok !

Hi all This problem has always come up at intervals on this group. It used to be that we could blame suspect capacitors for being lossy since several were found on occasion. Not any more! All

Define kaput, and what item? Likely fried the finals in the morning and during the day repeated tries finished the job. THe PS I can only guess about. Allison ------------------------------- Please

Apart from soldering issues, this must be the most confounding disincentive for faint-hearted wonnabe QSX+ers ... There must surely be a concise winding-checklist for genuine

just been playing with the 25mhz tcxo for q"C"x+ in a U3s. QRSS is good to 2 meters! a little drift to start due to other components, BS170's ect, then it settles down nicely! Much better than the fox

In addition to Allison's comments, the filters are designed to work with 50 ohms input impedance and 50 ohms output impedance. If either of those impedances are not 50 ohms the filter cutoff

All working well on WSPR for weeks This morning the display is acting weird and the buttons are sometimes not responsive This afternoon the display stats flashing on and off with smell of burins from

Also PCB conductor size and spacing are a factor as well. For example 100W is 1.4A into 50 ohms so heavier and larger relays become a factor. 20W is easy 50W takes care, more is significant

Phil, THe AL used for winding of toroids has a variation of 10-15% so depending on how tightly wound plus individual batches you get variation. The Iron powder material is really like many high
