R204 is a zero ohm (short circuit) installed only if you want the AGC to stay on all the time. Leave it open circuit if you want to control the AGC on/off via the firmware ... 73 ... Ron

Hello, the AGC Module is out of stock and so I would build it on the expansion board or on small stripboard. But I don't know what's the value of resistor R204 for the switching circuit? Can somebody

I have experienced similar situations. The issue comes with trying to break the 'short' by 'nudging'. I find the best solution is to use a solder sucker to remove the solder from the through hole devi

I'd finished my 40m QCX mini and had started wiring the AGC module. Thoughtlessly, I bent the wires on the bottom of the main board at a 30 degree angle, like I would when soldering a component. Bad i
