Re: How do I power the 49er ?
Hi Dave. Just disconnected the antenna and there's a lot of hiss on the output. Of course, the band is flooded with signals tonight due to the SKCC Weekend Sprint going on so it's much busier than it

Re: How do I power the 49er ?
Aaron, What does the audio sound like with the antenna disconnected?? Are you hearing 40 meter band noise, or are you hearing audio hiss from within the 49er circuitry. I have one working and it does

Re: How do I power the 49er ?
Hello Norbert. I'm glad you found the solution. Was just about to respond when I read your latest post. Glad you got it resolved. I was wondering if you could do me a small favor. Once you power up

Re: How do I power the 49er ?
Got it, in finding some minor differences between the instructions in the QST and Farruk's link. I re-read the whole thing and page 22 on the QST instructions clearly states; "12V power for the

Re: How do I connect the rotary encoder ?
Never mind, I found the answer to my question while reading another post. For some reason I wasn't clear after reading the QST instructions, figure A11. Switch: Pin 17 Clock: Pin 22 (D3) Data: Pin 18

How do I power the 49er ?
Hi! Quick question, I see pins 2 and 4 in the diagram to power the VFO board and I already tried it when calibrating the mini360 5V output. My question is how do I power the 49er ? Does it feed from

Lead Free Soldering - Some lessons here may transfer over to building your circuits.
I rarely use lead free solder - my fav is 63/37 or 60/40. However recently the PCB in my A/C and Heat Pump started twinking out. After troubleshooting the obvious (connectors, sensors, relays) I

Re: Purpose of this Group
Hi Dave: As I recall, I was doing all my phone patch work on 15M back then, but was part of a net. I enjoyed it and probably checked in at least twice a week. Every Christmas I would have more pies,

Re: 40m QRP Transmitter Success
Thanks, Jack. I suppose that's another issue too, isn't it? 40m has been very rough lately for hearing any sort of signals worth copying. I've got the radio on now and there are LOADS of CW signals on

Re: 40m QRP Transmitter Success
I've built several Pixies and none of them can hold a candle to the Forty-9er in terms of what can be heard. Also, the power output from the Pixie is pretty low. Indeed, I never made a contact with

Re: 40m QRP Transmitter Success
Thanks for the tip on the cases, Jack. I need to take a hard look at all the choices because with all the "revisions" I have in mind, I want to be able to fit everything in. :-) I'd like to ask
