| 2025-01-19 19:35:13 | lix@layer8.space | 1 | Working on it... | I can't do this week's #hamchallenge currently but fixed something instead.A few weeks ago, I built an T2LT antenna kit which unfortunately had a sporadic short in its pre-assembled PL-connector. I wasn't able to get stable readings on my NanoVNA and figured out it might be the connector. Today I confirmed that and hacked an alternative together. Now it's working and I have to wait for a new connector to finish the job. HC45 |

Have had this occur on another CD-41 and replaced Q2 successfully following video guide from Jim AG6IF. A quick repair (took longer to get-out/put-away tools than the actual Q2 SOT-23 part replacement solder operation. It’s working again… Added Do Not Touch labels to both of my bases to remind users not to put fingers on the charging contacts. |

Today I fixed it #HC45S and incorporated it into a SlimDigi.This is a neat design for a soundcard + hub for CAT on 891, which is tiny and uses USB-C. All credits go to LB8IJ. The choice of parts is great and while I'm not a fan of cables embedded in a device without a connector, I love how fast it is to deploy.https://www.printables.com/model/1235849-slimdigi-by-lb8ij-digital-interface |

| 2025-08-21 21:01:47 | g7kse@mastodon.radio | 35 | Success! | Sweet...I've fixed something that was broken and managed to complete HC45S into the bargain.My QCX mini was all of a sudden really quiet. Even on full volume. After checking all the Op Amps and inspecting all the joints, I went through the alignment process again and after tweaking coils and generally poking around I have managed to get the volume back with the AGC off. It's still a bit lower than it should be with it on. But I now have a usable rig back. |

Not sure what really the problem was, probably some plug that was not longer inserted properly. Anyway, after unplugging and replugging all plugs, it works again.I think that counts for #HamChallenge #HC45S. #hamradio #amateurfunk #amateurradio |
