Mag-Loop Controller - Part 2

Monday (my day off) was a very productive day.  The controller is mainly complete, with just the SWR bridge (still to be ordered) to add, and three more buttons related to that.

The focus will now move to the stepper motor and the Loop itself.  I bought a very cheap stepper motor from Jaycar to try with my existing QRP loop with its duel gang capacitor.  The motor is 5v so I will need to make allowances for that but worth a try! I may also need to use the end stop option.

Watch this space.

QCX+ 5W CW transceiver kit

Hans G0UPL, has been busy.  I've just noticed that he has PRELIMINARY INFORMATION out on the QCX Plus.

I built the original QCX when it first came out and it was one of the best kits that I've ever constructed, this one will be even better, and complete with an enclosure.

 

QCX+: a feature-packed, high performance, single-band 5W CW transceiver kit, with WSPR beacon and built-in alignment/test equipment. Available for 80, 60, 40, 30, 20 or 17m bands. It has rotary encoder synthesised tuning, VFO A/B/Split, Iambic keyer, CW decoder, and more...

Hans is looking to ship the first batch in June.
