I took QRO to mean maybe using Hans' nifty little 50W companion amp for the QCX+ PS I really like mine

Hi Luc, Most hams today see "QRP" as being 5 watts output (or less) from the transmitter. In some operating events whether they are a contest or not 5 Watts is specified. Prior to the present notion o

Hi Arv & all, Don't worry about a technical definition for "QRP" and "QRO" with respect to transmit watts or ERP. As you point out, it's relative - what is QRO to one operator may be QRP to another. T

Just for clarity: On the website http://www.qrp-labs.com/party.html , only the QRP event is mentioned (last monday of the month). That's how it all started. The QRO session was only mentioned by Hans

Bill For some 50 KW would be QRP. For others anything above 50 MW would be QRO. Seems that the difference between QRP and QRO is so poorly defined that it could be almost anything. Is QRP actually ERP

Hi, So the conversation is down to what power level is 'reasonable'. I agree that around about 50 watts seems reasonable. I doubt anybody with a five watt rig feels despoiled just because there are ot

Shane That's the way it is now. 2 days a month, one QRP, one QRO 73 Hans G0UPL http://qrp-labs.com

Just a comment, The pole should include an option for 2 days a month, one day QRP, the other QRO. The solar cycle is on the upswing and qrp will reach further then. 73, Shane KE7TR

Yes lower power level. I have a high power QRO radio when I want it but I enjoy the challenge of working others with 5W or less hence I have several QCX+. With out a reasonable limit ( 50W) it will sp

I have brought this up before, but no one commented or seemed to care. I am either at work or getting ready for bed on the East Coast during the allotted times.

I would participate, but the times are not in my windows of freedom due to job responsibilities.

Hi, In the USA there is already a power limit of 1500 watts. Just saying. I am guessing you have some other, lower power level in mind. I would offer a previous "QRP" level of 100 watts as a starting

Voted, but think we should set a limit for the amp power.

Yes, I can include the pads for SMA too.. 73 Hans G0UPL http://qrp-labs.com

I hope the suggestion for including SMA connector pads on the PCB will still stand, even if SMA is not the "official" connector. (As noted previously, the SMA connector pad layout also permits the mor

Hi Hans, I concede and accept the election results. The. BNC it is and less inventory. Now it will all use a consistent set of jumpers with the amplifier. I enjoyed all your videos including your retr
