Amplifier build adventures
That is a great idea, Jerry. I fly RC planes and such and use those XT60 all over those batteries. They are good connectors and can't be plugged in backwards, nor shorted (given that they were soldere

Another Successful QCX-Mini Build
Hans, your skill of writing is only super seceded by your ability to created exceptional HAM radio products. I'm not sure whether your writing or your ability to McGyver things is second on your list.

Need a Builder
Howdy Pete, I have built 5 QCX originals, I think. Two for me and at least two for others, maybe three. I'd offer to finish your Ultimate, but if you are in any kind of rush, like before Thanksgiving,

Got my QCX+ today!!!
One of the T37s of mine broke also. Mine is in at least 4 pieces. Can that still be glued together, or would I need a new one?
