QCX Mini Stand and Power Source

The QRP Labs QCX Mini has turned out to be one of my favorite radios! I have found a 3D printed stand and power source that I want to share.

Finally I get to see someone who sends code at my speed! Thank you.

Thank you for stopping by. You have given me an inspiration . . . I have wanted to do more videos about the QCX Mini, but I didn't want to re-do someone's already excellent work. I am trying to increase my copy speed. Maybe another video to help encourage others who are "near my speed" to get on the air??? Tell me what you think.

[@tommycheshire5508]

@@Bill-HRT I think that doing speed and getting on the air is the best thing that can be done for amateurs. We are, as a group of Morse stumblers, are afraid to get on the air because we believe that no one will slow down while we are still learning! Thank you for your patience.

Just purchased 2No. Of these transceivers (20m and 40m), also a novice CW operator (but hoping to get better), interesting video and excellent idea for powering these rigs. 73 DE 2E0HIA from the U.K.

Thank you for stopping by. It is one of my favorite radios. It travels easily. It is one of the most affordable, it operates well, and it is easy to control. Have fun! I want to do more videos about it, but others have done such clear videos about the QCX Mini, I do not know what to add.

Could you please share the link where you purchased the 3D power source?

[@Bill-HRT]

Hi. The title of the device from Amazon is, Anmbest 5PCS 3S 11.1V/12V/12.6V 10A 18650 Charger PCB BMS Protection Board for Li-ion Lithium Battery Cell. The link, I copied it directly from my browser, is, www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DYS6RJJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 I hope that gets you to it. Thanks for asking!

Fantastic video! I'm still learning CW myself but bought the mini for my sota activations in the future, what speaker is that you are using?

[@Bill-HRT]

Thanks for the encouragement! I've been a bit slow in uploading videos, and I'm glad someone has gotten something out of one. That speaker is the CestMall F10 Portable Compact Mini Speaker. I bought if from Amazon after seeing another Ham use it during one of his videos. The charge doesn't last super long if you just leave it on, but it does a good job.
