Nice work on the case! I use a KX Single Lever mini-paddle from the QRPGuys. I rewired the socket for a 3.5mm stereo plug on a few inches of three conductor wire from model train world. Just finished

Not wanting to bother the genius who is hard at work (Hans), has anyone heard an update on the QSX? I am writing a speaking proposal on SOTA for the Rocky Mountain Regional Conference in Utah in Augus

Hello John. No doubt that most folks interested in a multi-mode, multi-band rig have already seen this: http://qrp-labs.com/qsx.html Be sure that they read the entire page. Should be enough to wet eve

Looks brilliant !

Giuseppe, If this is the paddle made by QRP Guys ( https://qrpguys.com/paddles ), it appears it is no longer available. If I have the wrong source, I would like to be corrected as I also would be inte

Hello, congratulations for the photo, beautiful paddle, wanting to buy on the internet on which site I can buy it, and if they send it to Italy. thank you . 73 de iu8eun Joseph

Something I've found is that if you have an EFHW and getting some RF back into the rig the sidetone will be extremely harsh. That could be exasperating the volume issue.

#sota

Very nice, clean look. I congratulate you on a fine job! James

#sota

Is it safe to assume that you have already adjusted the sidetone volume to its lowest level (in the Keyer Menu)? Jody - K3JZD

I bought the American Morse Lowboy (https://www.americanmorse.com/lowboy.htm) to solve the problem of the key moving around, even as a squeezer rather than a slapper. It took a bit of getting used to,

It actually looks like W1JSB is selling those cap kits. I had no idea. $35 each: https://radioset-go.com/prestashop/index.php?id_product=19&controller=product

Richard, usually placing 5-8 meters of coax between transformer and TRX reduces RF. In the field I place at least 4-5mtr of coax on the ground and I do not get RF in the shack. -----------------------

I'm running 15ft of RF174 in addition to a counterpoise and still get a harsh sidetone. :(

Hello Serge TCXO = temperature controlled crystal oscillator OCXO = oven controlled crystal oscillator The QCX+ TCXO module option http://shop.qrp-labs.com/qcxptcxo has a current consumption of 1.25mA

I activated a SOTA summit yesterday with my newly built QCX Mini. For a paddle, I stuck a Ham Radio Guys paddle onto the mini with some double-sided PVC tape. It held well. Paddle worked great and the

Nice rig! I have the same paddles in a box somewhere around here. I think I will go the same route. Thanks!

Thanks Curt. I'm not too worried about the 5 amp current requirement. If you go high enough on the C rating of the battery you should have plenty of headroom. I'm just curious how hard the upper 22V u

#sota

I'm currently building a QCX 50w amp for 20m to match my QCX transceiver. Will a 6S Lipo battery be too much for the amp? The 6s packs are 25.2V fully charged.

#sota

Curt, Checking would be good. 5A at 20V would be 100W and at 70% efficiency minimum thats 70W out. I did that as a does it makes sense number. Typical input is abut 3.5A at 20V or 70-72watts DC and 50
