A new 40M lid like the 20M lid should be pretty easy for Dave C to create. He has his hands full right now getting ready for some major responsibilities at FDIM. If

I enthusiastically second these remarks! Have a Hilltopper 20 already awaiting time to build but would jump for a 40 version immediately. The transparent cover definitely adds a touch of class IMO

Nice! Sell it without the lid, or just plain PCB. Would not be hard to cut a piece of aluminum either

Thanks. The one thing that perplexes me is why the magloop is quieter and all others noisy on the Cricket. If the environment was that bad, you would expect to be on the loop as well. I know that the

No problem, I understand completely, been there myself many times. 4SQRP is blessed to have very capable leaders and kitters, so on their behalf, thank you for the

Excellent report Jess, and lots of work, thanks. Sounds like the problem isn't with the Cricket. Dunno if you can track down the 60/120 cycle interference or

And also please understand that I am hoping that I am not perceived as a complainer or dis-satisfied. My frustration is purely thatI can’t make it work right, not with the kit. So please all, I love

1. My guess would be 60 HZ. Sounds a bit like transformer hum 2. There is no buzz with the antenna disconnected 3. I have not noticed buzz affected by board orientation 4. No buzz with the crystal

Hi, if still available I will take it. Pay today with PayPall. cu es 72, Bart W0IIT

Steve- I have a Hilltopper-40 up and running. I'm presently in the process of reworking the firmware to add the user's choice of Morse mode A or B. I've had to restructure the code along the way-

Please, please, offer a K1SWL Hilltopper 40

I already have several emails from interested buyers. Thanks Carl WB0CFF

If anybody in the group is interested, I have an unbuilt QRP Labs QCX 30M kit https://qrp-labs.com/qcx.html that I'd like to offer for sale. I purchased it December 2017. The kit parts bags have not

Mine appears to be 60hz and 300hz hum from nearby powerlines. I can also hear stations but it is noisy, I imagine outside a metro area it would be a lot better. Transmit works great at 1w into a

I have tried several ear buds and all about the same from cheapies to pretty hi end ones. Not sure of the exact impedance but all phone/iPad type.

8 DB damn spell check!😜

Goofing around and trying to make some headway on the buzz/oscillations on receive, I hooked the Cricket 30 and tapped out a couple of CQs. Mine produces 1 watt give or take 50 mils. Looked at the

Just a thought - the impedance of the headphones can seriously affect the performance of these little Crickets. Have you tried a variety of them with the radio? 72, Chas - NK8O

I’ve heard from several people including myself that have buzz in the receive audio on the 80 meter Cricket as well as the 30. Jess
