Yes but it's not nice to make someone feel he can have a QSO and then nothing. For me, TEST is for contests, so it's another thing.

I've never heard of adding BEACON, but I think I have heard of adding TEST. At any rate, even if someone responds to your CQ you don't have to have a qso with them. -- 73, Reid K8JLW

Hello, I'm quite new to CW and still learning, even though I've already assembled a QCX+. I tested yesterday Reverse Beacon by sending my call with that message (stored as a message in the QCX+). CQ

Can you disconnect the secondary of T1 to check that 2.5V bias voltage? I don't know if the IC it feeds is passing that bias voltage to the circuitry to its right (on the schematic) but I suspect

Dear Dave, Great to hear from you, and great that you have the equipment, and extensive knowledge of the QCX and QCX+! I did not realize you had built so many of these kits! I am in Vail, Arizona,

Outstanding! So glad to hear you found the source of your problem, and you now have a functional radio! Nice collection of test equipment! Sounds like ]out have all the necessary tools and experience,

Hello Ronald, Thank you for your answer. Anyway, as I've the well measured voltage in the menu 9 (alignement), I guess that the divider is OK. For me, the battery level displayed is taking this value

First version ! It's a bit too tight to install in the box. I've modified it and I print it again today. I'll let you know when the design will be OK.

Dear Shane, Thanks for the offer but I have just about the same stuff in my shop to attack a defenseless 4" circuit board and a bunch of parts. I think I will be able to handle it as soon as I

busy on fire calls so a bit late getting back to you. I am a retired electrician (31 years) prior to that 10 years in the navy. Im a computer technician, welding instructor, tv and radio repair, and

Adrien, maybe you should check your solder connections in the area of R56 and R57. These resistors make up the voltage divider in order to provide the correct level into the microcontroller. Check for

Hello, I've just finished my QCX+ and I am struggling with battery display indicator. I use a lithium battery I can see on the QCX it is 11.98V (on 12.6V max). So I've well jumpered the DVM and +12V

Allison- That's just TOO FUNNY! 😁😁😁

Steve, Glad to hear you had a good cwt experience! I'm looking forward to this evening's test. Cheers, Shane

Many thanks Hans. Recently, Win 10 took me from 1909 to 2004 and I needed to update the Adafruit drivers before proceeding. Otherwise the firmware update went smoothly. I think I'll wait a couple of

Dave, Good stuff! That voltage divider is worrisome. I am in Vail AZ, about 5 hours West of you on I10. I'd be happy to come out your way and bring my test equipment scope, dvm, LCR meter, spectrum

Nice, Giuseppe, Thanks!

I for one, would be interested to know how your modifications progress.
