    Thanks for the demonstration! I have been a ham since the 1970s and this is my first commercial QRP radio but it is different from yours. Yours is a USDX+ mine is a USDR+ with the orange bands around the case (which means that it is a knock off) but I set mine up using your settings and it it is working like it should. I can't wait until I can get it into the field and see how well it works.

    Some nice contacts, although a couple of those guys would benefit by easing up on the speech processor. Btw, the S in RST has nothing to do with the S-meter reading. Someone could be S-2 and still be 5-9.

      I'll agree to disagree on your final point. S2 is Very Weak as I recall. S9 is Very Strong. I think the RST was written before S meters were a "tool." So now, I go by S meter. But for me, R is the important bit.

    When you say kill the output do you mean killing the TX? I did try a couple of TX's before looking up the settings when i saw I wasnt getting a reading on my tinysa, I see a reading on my tinysa now and I tried to listen to myself but it says a little bad, but maybe thats because the Quansheng can only receive ssb and I was transmitting in LSB? Its getting me a little worried

  • @BrightBlueJim
    @BrightBlueJim 20 днів тому

    Mostly right, but that's not what the Reference Frequency setting is for. This radio uses an Si5351a clock generator for generating the local oscillator signals, and that chip can use either a 24.000000 MHz or 27.000000 MHz crystal. There are many builders of the uSDX radio, and some of them choose to use the 24 MHz crystal, while others choose 27 MHz. This setting is so that you can use the same firmware on both variations of the design.

    I had something weird happen doing this. During the flash, the computer went blue screen and crashed, and the radio appeared bricked, as turning it off and on did not turn on the screen or radio and it appeared dead. But, I unplugged data cable, and re-started everything, and loaded the patch back up, plugged in the cable, turned it on with the ptt button in, and I got the flashlight/prgramming mode back. I Flashed it again, and this time it "took", and works fine. Hope this helps if this happens to you.
