I bought some 6x power reading glasses off Amazon, they were a game changer for me. Thanks, Dan — . Same errors, more misspelings.

I purchased my replacement parts at Digikey. I bought a bunch of them. Somebody goofed and put a 30pf Capacitor (C30) in the kit instead the required 56pf Cap. Fudge !!! I just ordered the parts. I sh

To those who might be looking for a replacement volume control, I just replaced the volume control on one of my QCXs with a Philco PC83 5K audio taper potentiometer from MarVac Electronics via Ebay. I

Hi Jim No part number really needed. It is a 5K pot with a 20mm shaft. Check Jameco, Mouser, or Digi-Key. I tried to find out same when I had to replace one as well. Was just easier to get the part by

Mike You are very correct about the threshold. After looking at circuit, with the RF 'filter' cap at the gate of Q5 and the fact that the gate is being driven by the ATMega328 voltages (5V) as a Read/

Ferrite cores and iron dust cores are not the same material. Ferrite cores are not normally coated with a colour, iron dust are coated with a colour to show the mix.

Syd, your first point of contact should be Hans. You'll find him very helpful.

By the way, replacing 16V capacitors with 25V parts is acceptable and common as long as the remaining specs (size, tolerance, temp range, ESR) are still met. 73, Paul K2AYZ

Hi all I do hear of broken potentiometers sometimes. The exposed tabs made from SRPB material are probably not exactly easily broken, but certainly more easy than the other components in the kit. I do

Hi all, Been away from this thread, the QCX and amateur radio for a few months due to some personal issues which have cleared up a bit now thank goodness. Glad to see this thread is still going on and

I just thought you might look through some of them to see if you could find what you needed, like eBay #152215440586, which might work. Jack, W8TEE

Thanks very much to All! I'll be chewing on this for a while. Thanks, Bill K0WHW

Gilles, I think you will need to make the BPFs very broad. 1-30MHz is a lot to cover with only 5(?) BPFs. Any soundcard will do if you use the polyphase output, it is amplified and only low frequency.

I am in the process of soldering my QCX, trying to keep solder bridges from forming, no smoke yet. But I noticed both of them should get 5v, and I wasnt sure if a solder bridge was ok or not. I will c
