You know this will sound totally dumb but these are on of my favorite things in ham DIY in the world. Don't get me wrong - I love microcontrollers and all the neat stuff we have (I am a computer geek

I'm still waiting on the buildathon kit but here you go: https://www.qrpme.com/?p=product&id=F20 Look through that. He had it working and so did someone that was helping him. There were a couple of di

There are options for HV power supplies with the chinese boards. There are a few that can generate HV from low DC... Especially at these current levels.

I have one. Kit - never opened. Got it as a door prize one year. I'll never use it.

Love it. Made me smile.

That's pretty interesting - have you had good luck with it? And yes, I would have to tune it with an analyzer - LOL. No way I'd want to be close enough to touch those knobs with real RF going through

Yeah, I knew you guys were joking. And I have spoken with the MFR. The major "danger" is not that it will fail but more that the electrical "interference" will screw up the programming. I'm on my 2nd

I have access to some hardline and I'm thinking about making a transmitting loop. I know there was a design out there that used an Arudino to tune the loop at frequency changes... Anybody have some de

I thought I heard something on 40 but it was faint here in central IL... I tried.

I've never found anything. Seems mostly QRP & SSB are not good partners. But I've had a lot of fun with it. When things were better I would prowl around contests and pick up some DX. Seems everybody h

I met him once at Dayton, he was at the GQRP booth. I emailed him a time or two. Yes, he always would respond.

For Sale: first run uBITX. Never powered up. Including lots and lots of extras: USB extension cable to have a socket on the outside of your case. 3D printed knobs - pot & encoder and LCD bezel (all in

I posted a lot of information on the #SSB side. There is a lot of good information and there is a lot of misinformation and confusion. It's not hard and it's not expensive. I got into DMR for < $100.

I would be very interested in this.

Rob, I recently purchased one of those YiHua 936 (actually a Hakko clone and will take their tips). My favorite soldering iron power supply shot craps and wanted a backup. I think it's pretty good esp

3985 has a net, going to try below there if there's a hole.

Jim, probably a dumb question - but does your circuit allow for/include the resistor required for the Raduino?
