Made a start on my #QRPLabs #QMX #AmateurRadio Transceiver today. Glad I have an #Optivisor, as it’s very compact! #QRP #HamRadio #AmateurFunk

#SSB on the #QRPLabs #QMX+ 5W HF transceiver is just so unnecessarily painful. The built-in microphone doesn't work. Standard microphones don't work.

The very specific microphone capsule required goes for 21 € inc. shipping from Digikey. A finished microphone assembly by G7UFO is 41,85 € inc. shipping. The whole QMX+ kit is only 125 USD, on comparison.

I have revision 4 of the PCB. Really would have expected it to have been fixed to take any microphone by now, or come with the microphone.

After building the #QRPLabs QMX+ transceiver I got a bit into #WSPR, #FT8 and #FT4 to see how far 3 to 5 Watts can get me.

There's not much else in the #hamradio world that puzzles me as much as the lack of support for compund or special callsigns in these modes. On one instance I couldn't make an FT8 call from my station EA8/DC6ST to a Russian ham visiting Belarus because the two compound callsigns did not leave any space for signal reports or even a "73" in the message.

I am irrationally entertained by the GPS status screen in the terminal interface of my #QRPLabs #QMX+ radio.

During this morning's #parksontheair #pota activation I'm throwing this 9v/200mAh #QRPp fishing lure into the ionospheric waters to see what I can reel in. #amateurradio #hamradio CW #morsecode

It took about 6 hours to build, including an embarassing amount of time getting power for my Pinecil solding iron arranged. Not bad. I was worried by all the toroid dread I’d read from others, but really no big deal. Now I’ve got to get an outside antenna sorted out. #qdx #hamradio #ft8 #qrplabs

I built a #QRPGuys 40-10 #Minituner a few years ago but never built a wire for it. Thanks to current #Geomagneticstorm conditions, I built a 40 -15 Meter Linked #EFHW that I can use with my #Youkits #YouKitsHB1B #HB1B and my #QRPlabs #QDX. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio is so much fun!

Based on the hard work of Adam, K6ARK I designed a PCB which does all the work of the connections and designed a case for it.

I think it looks like a Turret from the game Portal, hence its name.

My micro setup for FT8 digital shortwave communications. Battery life is several hours.

Started assembling a QDX transceiver by QRP Labs. Going well so far, one toroid done!
Impressions: The manual is very nice, not just good assembly instructions, but also explaining how the circuit works and why certain design choices were made.

If your #QCX mini (like mine) is suffering from #hf getting back into the rig via the headphone cable when in very close proximity to an unbalanced antenna I suggest you try to solder a 10 nF capacitor across the audio jack on the bottom side of the main board. This solved the problem for me. For more troubleshooting tips see https://qrp-labs.com/qcxmini/moretrouble.html#sF #HamRadio #Amateurfunk #qrp #soldering #qrplabs #qcxmini

Got in some #AmateurRadio #hamradio 20 meter #FT8 during a #POTA #parksontheair activation using the #QRPLabs #qrplabs#QDX with @talentcelltech #TalentCell battery & #panasonic #Toughpad #FZG1 supported by @Tuftelndotnet @[email protected] #Kneeboard @POTAspots

Coming out of the bullpen for tonight's North American QRP CW Club #naqcc #qrp #morsecode Sprint, #qrplabs #qcxmini twins #badabing 40 meters & #badaboom #20 meters along with the #putikeeg MINI #straightkey Batter Up! #amateurradio #hamradio

Anyone in my connections/on "close" servers playing with #QRPLabs #HamRadio kits?

#WSPR? #FT8 and other #DigitalHamRadio modes?

All the smoke stayed in the QDX! If only I had an antenna at home to test it out.

I had to get a little creative for the case. #HamRadio #kitbuilding #qrplabs #QDX #workbench #qrp

Received a QRP-labs QDX kit for Christmas, and sitting down to start on it. So far I've sorted parts and started winding the toroids.

I'm going to build it for 12v, and 80/60/40/30/20 operation. I can always rewind a couple of toroids if I want to change it up later.
