Isn't that supposed to be one of those warning signs you have bugs eating your house? 73, Willie N1JBJ

Every time I read a post about the Woodpecker, I think of a friend of mine who was awakened every morning at dawn with a woodpecker banging on the side of his house. After more than a week, he had had

😎👌

And to think we thought you single handedly restarted a reactor and the Duna transmitter. I enjoyed the comparison to the Woodpecker. I was a wee lad but remember it well. I got my license right

Re my QCX 20M tcvr: I killed the Woodpecker!! Switched the Schottky (D3) and the 1N4148. Then went back to checking the IC 9 voltages. They were still out of whack. As I mentioned before, when I

Thanks Mike and Dave for the responses. I’ve got a few 78m05s coming from Mouser and will post here once I do the mod and test it. Best regards, Mike AE0IH

Here is a picture of my rev 1 QDX 80meter RF Sweep: 73 Evan AC9TU

Hans Thank you for the new information. I printed out 1.07 before the ref 4 was on the website, I should have waited until I got the kit to print out the manual I can only imagine the nightmare

Hello Larry The design of the switch changed slightly for PCB Rev 4, as you saw. These days it is very difficult to maintain the exact same supply of parts consistently through from one batch to the

My QDX v2 exhibits a similar plot on 80m.

Stephen, Try MultiPSK, it is ugly but way less frustrating than fldigi. I'm not sure it has proper cat control though, maybe you need to combine it with flrig.

Here's the promised photo of the substitution in the Rev 1 Mini. Difficult to see exactly what is happening, but no sign of any scraping! Unfortunately my memory of last year's actions is hazy at best

Yes, any sharp blade can scrape away the solder resist from a small 78m05 sized area. Dave

Mike I successfully used Chip Quick to remove the AMS1117 from my Rev 1 QCX mini. I don't recall any need to scrape away anything - think I just used flying leads. If I get a moment I'll open up the

Thank You Ron That made perfect sense. Now I'm going to call it a day. Larry NA0F

Dave and Ohwenzelph, Thank you for the photos of your mods. Ryan - sorry about the 1117 failure. Looking forward to your next video as you resurrect your QDX! I'm currently halfway through the

Larry, your switch obviously doesn’t have the same markings as the one in the picture in the manual. So … push it “in” for on and the correct orientation in the circuit board is when the upper

These are the instructions "The On/Off switch has to be orientated the correct way, so that pushing the button in is “ON” and the button out position is “OFF”. Correct orientation is when the

Alan, many hours later, an update and happy ending! With the information you pointed me to I was able to successfully update the firmware on the clock without destroying something! I came close

Alan, in scanning the document I see references to " locks and fuses, etc."! Does Hans always use the same "locks and fuses" on all his products that uses an ATmega328? Or should I ask Hans what the
