The ham radio battle occurs tonight at 6:45pm Central time here: https://youtu.be/GyxShsBwJH0 The goal of the sprint is to make as many contacts as possible and watch your position closely on a live

Would it be possible / feasible to use a piezo type speaker? They are ultra-flat and might even squeeze into a Mini. Karl

Thanks, Julian!!! As usual, " you da man!!". Forty-eight and sunny here today and headed for a high of 73. Think Spring! Cheers, K

A surplus cellphone speaker might be just the thing.. Some are quite tiny and yet sound decent. A simple drilled hole may suffice to pass the audio through the case. If audio level is low you might

Do you mean the QRPlabs metallic case for the QCX+ would have enough room for all the add-ons?

Julian et al, Are there any changes for the 40m windings for the QCX+? Like Keith, I'd like to have things right from the start :-) Regards, Charles Johnson KF4AYT

Hi there, It fits in with the topic that recently in Germany a customs invoice comes after receipt of the shipment. I had received firmware IC's QCX1.08. The shipping time was approx. 14 days. The

Hi, Julian. Sorry for the delay in response. The unit is as is configured from the shop, set up for 17m. Nothing has been adjusted. If I knew how to tag you in a post, I would, as I just posted

Hans et al. Having operated the QCX-mini 45 days or so (at the correct txco ref. freq., eliminating that variable - thanks, Hans) I have surely discovered what all the fuss is about with this little

well mine just shows "collecting" 02.03.2022. next step would be collected but they also mentin delivery today 03.03.2022 before 18:00 Thats pretty sure unrealistic. Thats TNT tracking. Martin DK3UW

I have one of the Coloud portable speakers that Steve mentioned as well. Compact but with good power and frequency response. 73! Mark K9TR

Yeah, that's top end, really, for the Mini, in my opinion. The other advice given above is excellent: I encourage you to do those tests. See if you can feel anything else warming up (during Rx) while

Keith, L3, two turns less than spec for 20m, so 14 turns instead of 16. You should quite readily notice a peak in power as you adjust the turns from fully spread out around the toroid to tightly

I need to phrase my answers better... One fact is that L11 smoked, and power was needed from somewhere to make that happen. Another fact is that the unit was operating unmolested for a number of hours

After it goes to US customs it is reliable. Until then it’s pretty sketchy. Larry NA0F

Hi George I'm interested to hear what the problems are with FedEx tracking? TNT and FedEx are the same company since 2016, but the corporate merger is still ongoing. Gradual progress. For American

I can't seem to find what I'm looking for, so I'll ask. I'm about to begin my new QCX+20 and seem to recall that many builders find that removing several turns off a specific toroid/coil is eventually

The new tracking numbers are going to Fedex, but the information provided is not reliable. Is this also the case in the States?

Sure could be... I had inferred from "after a series of key down" that it took more time that would be typical of a soft power supply; maybe that was an incorrect assumption. -- Julian, N4JO.
