The #QDX is alive(-ish!)
I finished winding all the toroids today, and tried to get it "on the air" through a dummy load.
It connects to WSJT-X fine, but my cheap USB-A->B cable is sucking up RF like crazy and crashing my interface immediately on transmit. So, I can't actually check transmit power because transmit stops immediately...
Anyone have ideas on how to remedy this?
Finally got around to winding some more of the toroids on my #QDX build...low pass filter toroids finally in ~3 years later (bought this at Dayton 2022...).
I can't find my solder and PCB vise after my move, so I've ordered some more and it should hopefully be coming tomorrow and I can spend my free time finally wrapping up a ton of the soldering projects I've got laying around.
