Al, I don't know if the case is designed that way or not, but the case for the QCX+ is the same way and it does not have any holes punched in it that would cause what you are observing. Personally, I

After seeing the problems others have mentioned regarding broken SMD components I got out my jewelers loop and gave the PCB a once over. Everything looks to be in reasonable condition and close to whe

Agree with Don, sure looks like the enamel was not scrapped from the winding where terminated on inside of toroid. I would check the continuity of that winding, or all of them. W0DF

Fred, My QCX mini came through Sedalia. It was postmarked on Dec 8th and arrived in St. Charles, MO, less than 200 miles from Sedalia, on Dec 17th. Be patient, it will eventually get to you. Dave, Wl0

And regarding your just warming up..... I hope you don't overheat with all of the pressure you have been getting. Take a couple of days off and try to not think about 1000 minis all simultaneously goi

I ordered another 40 meter kit. I have 40 and 20 originals in the Bamatech cases, a QCX plus in the QRP-Labs enclosure on 20 meters, and now the 40 with the enclosure. I will either sell the originals

Wait until the next Dayton/Xenia Hamfest and see all the QRP-Lab groupies walking around with virtual reality like helmets mounted with QCX minis and Elecraft antennas and keys/paddles strapped to the

Hans, Will you be able to combine two (or more) kits in one package for a reduced shipping charge> Dave, W0DF

I meant to say that my K3 is on radio nr. 1 on comports 2 and 3. QCX+ is on comport 5 as radio nr. 2.

Can anyone that is using CAT control of a QCX+ with N1MM+ tell me what the configuration control page on N1MM+ (latest version) has for the entry fields. I am able to get the frequency on the QCX+ to

Allison, When you heard the local dumbo calling CQ on 14.480 did you check to see if he was actually transmitting on 7.240. I once heard a guy out of band on 20 mtrs, but then checked and found him on

Been Hamming for 58 years, four years as a manual Morse intercept operator in the US Navy and have almost always seen it as VA, but I really don't care which one you use, so I'll leave it to the softw

Hans, The drilling of the spacers used on the LCD PCB would definitely make it easier to assemble. I did that on mine after trying to assemble it per the instructions. That took the pain out of assemb

Has anyone heard whether Hans has started shipping any of the 200 QCX+ kits that he had LCDs available for from other kits, and for those that didn't need an LCD in the kit? Dave, W0DF

Kent, Here is the answer to your soldering problems. SnPbAg 62/36/2 Silver-Bearing Rosin-Core Solder, 0.015" Diameter - 1.0 oz. This is the best solder I have ever used for small projects. It is great

True Blue you have combined excepts from my post with someone else’s but credited both to me. My comment was not pointed at Hans, but at those that keep asking for this change or that change or a diff

Hey QCX groupies, Quit dreaming up all kinds of new versions of the QCX and let Hans concentrate on the QSX, now approaching 2 years overdue. Still patiently waiting.... Dave, W0DF

Jim, what did you do for the USN at Kamiseya, CT perhaps? Spent a lot of 2-2-2-80s at Sabana Seca, PR 1968-1971. Dave, W0DF

I am looking for info on how to order the TCXO and Development board for the QCX+ that I have on order. I don't see them listed on the web page. Does anyone have the info available before I bug Hans a
