I use a 3-second poll rate and am able to change frequency on my radios (not my QCX – I don’t need CAT control for it) using the mouse. You just have wait for the next polling interval for the radio t

Why not change the poll interval to something like 2 seconds; perhaps that’s enough to prevent the buffer overwrite. Even on my big-boy radios I set the poll to about 3 seconds and it’s just fine. You

Sheldon, Did you say earlier that you’re polling every ¼ to ½ second? Mike WM4B

Bruce, Yes… in terms of installation it makes sense (no pun intended) to wind in a certain direction. You can look in the manual and see how Hans did it in the pictures. Once you have the board it wil

Are you sure the number at the top of the display – as well as the number of bars is the same? If so, pick a your favorite peak (4 or 8 o’clock) and move on. You’ll be fine. 73, Mike WM4B

I’d leave it be if it’s peaking in the correct range – which it is. T1 does not impact TX power; you need to look at L1 – L4 for that; probably just L1 – L3 Mike WM4B

My QCX40 is hardwired to the GPS using these connectors. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14576 They work well, are inexpensive and available from many venders including Amazon and eBay. Mike WM4B

Exactly. I don't think the GPS was intended to be hot-swapped. Use a switch in line with the data and 1PPS line if you must. Mike WM4B

I’m thinking of experimenting with resistance in series with L4, but need to get a round-tuit. Maybe someone has already been down that road and cares to share? Mike WM4B

My GPS is installed inside the case and permanently hardwired to the qcx. I installed a double pole single throw miniature toggle switch on the back panel to take the GPS Data and 1pps out of line whe

I found them very hard to drill; hard to hold on to even in a socket. Soldering iron worked well however. Mike WM4B

Funny… I’ve been thinking about doing some testing like that. Just can’t seem to get a round-tuit. Mike WM4B

Bernie, Maybe he does… I’ve been in and out – might have missed a post! Mike WM4B (Typos are totally the fault of the fat-fingered, farsighted author!)

That won’t work, but if you contact Han’s he’ll send you the .eep file to rewrite the eeprom data. Mike WM4B

That’s been discussed here before. Gotta suck to be a small business right now. Mike WM4B

Seeing it now. Right through my old stomping grounds! Mike WM4B

I’m only seeing one position report. What time did you launch? Mike WM4B

QLG1 GPS - No TXD Greetings all, Working on a QLG1 for another gentleman and would like the opinion of others. Initial symptoms were that the Power, TXD, and PPS LED all remained on at all times. I re
