OK, that makes sense. Can you report on the other questions I asked? They do have a bearing on the issue. It would be a good idea to check DC resistance - with power off - of C43, C44, C45 & C46 to gr

OK, so this has pulled me out of my self-imposed sabbatical (i.e. working for the man who pays me)... If you have an errant voltage on C44, but good voltages (around 2.5V) on C43, C45 and C46) then a

I enthusiastically second that. I know it sounds unthinkable, but sometimes there are things that loved ones inform us are more important than Ham Radio. I'm mystified by this ruling, but apparently I

Can't please 'em all, can ya?! Thanks, Pat... I'm just trying to stay in communication, and not leave good patient folk hanging out to dry with no news. I know people are excited about QRP Labs kits,

I have a couple of outstanding repair/build project for my friends here, so rather than address each one individually, and in the interests of transparency, here's a general status note: I've just ret

Yup, I can tell that nothing has changed. Back when I spent a bit of time actually listening to the odd conversation that found its way up to the frozen northern Midwest ('cos not much does, it seems,

Package went out to #2 on the list today - Rich, KQ9L. USPS tracking # (because we are all closet OCD...) 9505 5156 0971 2120 0527 35

Morse code is difficult enough without that "interpretive artisanship", thank you... What's next? Sending emojis? ;-)

Agreed. I bring out the big gun (digital/USB microscope) when I need to, but my head mounted magnifier is now my primary tool... if only I could make it stay where I put it and not keep creeping down

Definitely. You can power the QLG from the QCX, which takes care of it automatically.

To add to Ron's spot-on advice... C18 is part of the CW filter, and while its loss affects the cut-off at the upper end of the CW audio passband, it is unlikely to cause any of the problems you're see

Well it's always possible that after down-time of six months one or more f the caps went leaky, or something like that. I've had them leak then recover with the heat of desoldering. Maybe wet/leaky co

Always a wise move! That's usually the time when we carry on, tired, do something silly, and break something. Sounds like you've got it, though. It would be interesting to know if there was anything b

Order going in tonight, Sam, and you're welcome. I'll let you know when I have something to ship to you.

Hi Ryan, The values you have listed would make sense in transmit mode, but not in receive mode. Please check them again. In transmit mode, RX (pins 12 & 13) should be low, so TX (pin 11) should be hig

Some kind, generous soul from this, our friendly QRP-Labs forum community just sent me a wonderful gift - a Haako 808 desoldering kit. It has been used, but is in excellent condition with new consumab

I use BitBurner on Win 10; I've posted a question to their forum to see if it is/will be supported on Win 11. The latest version is quite old, so I don't know if it's even in active maintenance; utili

Sam, Hans, I'm just about to order a case and some spare parts from Hans, so if you wish we could ask Hans to include a couple of caps for my spares bin, and I can send one on to you...

Yup, exactly right :-) For my original QLG I bought a six foot audio cable, snipped in half, and soldered the free ends into the appropriate holes on the board. Then I just got lazy, and put a bit of

That should help :-)
