QRP Labs is running a Hamvention special for US customers to hopefully reduce shipping costs, if FDIM or Hamvention delivery, or USPS from Ohio during Hamvention, works for you. This includes anything in their store, including radios (assembled or kit), parts, and the Morserino M32 Pocket. (Obligatory disclaimer: I'm just a customer, no stake in this...)

#HamRadio #QRPLabs

My #qrplabs #qmxplus and #morserino shipment is scheduled to arrive today. When did kit radios develop such an open source vibe? Maybe the Norcal projects of the nineties? It's a strange overlap with #linux and #hamradio.
Made a start on my #QRPLabs #QMX #AmateurRadio Transceiver today. Glad I have an #Optivisor, as it’s very compact! #QRP #HamRadio #AmateurFunk

Jeff W1NC has already fixed my #QRPLabs QMX+ and it's on the way home again!

#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.

Yesterday I was able to do a QRP POTA activation at US-4160, a new park for me. I made 28 FT8/FT4 contacts, well 27 because one was a dupe. I used the QDX but need to get the QMX+ out in the field next. I am excited that one of the contacts was from Gibraltar! #qrp #qrplabs #pota #HamRadio
Just participeted in a group-order for the #QRPLabs QMX+ being very excited what to expect... Delivery somewhere march/April.
Wound for 12v PA, running 12v in and seeing ~3w out on the High Bands up to almost 6 on 160m. I get about 3-4 on the 40-20m bands. Looks good. Picking up some RF so far so good. @qrplabs QMX+ #qrp #qrplabs #HamRadio
First POTA of 2026 - Whiskey 9 Bravo Lima November

So my first attempt to take out the QDX on its first POTA ended up in failure because I forgot the power cord on Tuesday Jan 6th.  I was kind...
