Re: My new FX-4CR QRP Radio

There's an active forum for this radio at https://groups.io/g/FXradio , which is especially handy for those of us who want nothing to do with FaceBook. Also on that forum is Daniel, F5BUD, who has created a masterful alternative firmware for the radio. It has lots of features and improvements over t...

Thanks for the links. L.B. was a prolific writer, eager to share his knowledge, and he did so in a very down-to-earth fashion.

Vintage (and famous) QRP rigs for sale

DIY KH1 - sort of

I just came across Chris', DL1CR, "QMX Carrot" SOTA rig. Inspired by the KH1, he adapted it from a QRP Labs' QMX, adding a tuner, battery & touch CW points in a custom case. It's pretty impressive! https://reflector.sota.org.uk/t/introducing-qmx-carrot/38027 https://groups.io/g/QRPLabs...

Re: coax type

And just to spell it out, should anyone later be searching: RG-316. RG-174 is similar as far as loss goes, but the 316 outer sheathing is more durable.
