Going to keep and use the N4 and a sale is Pending on my QT80. Thanks everyone.

I am helping a local friend out who is having medical issues and selling some things to raise money. I will be getting a NIB never hooked up RCI 2970Dx N4. This is the 450 Watts+ one that sells for $800 everywhere. Has the uninstalled E Chip in the accessories bag. Will offer it up here and to...

So Tony at Zero 5 Antennas is making, by Special Order Request, is making what he's calling the Colossal 4, and it's his version of the Sigma-Vector 3/4 Vertical with the Ice Cream Cone GP Basket. All super-heavy duty aluminum with stainless steel hardware. Claiming 30K Watts. Price shipped is a...

There is a very neat Worldwide Net which meets daily in the afternoons (North America) for the purpose of Checking Propagation on the upper HF Bands to your area. It is a fast-paced Round Table with various Net Controllers taking check-ins and gives every station a chance to call out and see who...

Made some good contacts today on the QT80. Upper bands opened up nicely to the west this afternoon. CA & ORE on 10 then got on the Daily HF Activities Net on 24.970 at 19:30. Worked XE1DJL in Mexico, W3FF Net Controller in CA and the famous Mr. Roger in New Zealand, ZL1XR !! all on about 50...

So anywho I just ordered this Adapter from Scotts. Not many peeps seem to be carrying them. Wallcott has one with a 6 inch cord extender to it for twice the price ..... so I'm getting this Standard Adapter from Scott's ..... despite the fact that his website does not indicate In Stock or not nor...

I hear that ...... well I don't think these radios are pretending to be 955's. Perhaps the best things are the Price Point and the 15 Meter Gift.

Ok, Here's my take, Long Story Long The QT80 is a neat little bugger. I will keep it. I am glad to be back on HF in any capacity after being off for a couple of years. I'm on a budget. Couldn't spend a lot right now. Will continue to save up and get an IC 7300 when I can and put my 80M Loop back...

Thanks Jeff !

While testing power levels thru the bands - just now seeing that mine is not 21~31 straight thru. It jumps from 21.500 up to 24.715. Not that I have any use for that area .... still thought it was supposed to be straight thru? Anyone else seeing this?

I'm also in a Q6PRO & QT80 Facebook Group. A guy suggested turning OFF the TXNR and that seemed to help. Now seeing 100W SSB on a whistle and 60W Swing on AM. Maybe this rig would benefit from a power mic. I can use my D104 with an adapter or try one of the K PO 532 handheld power mics. . No Go...

Hi guys, can use some help. QT80 arrived yesterday and all is setup. On the air good this morning after resolving an antenna system issue from installing my stored 1/2 wave vertical and coax. Have rig fully opened up. Issues: AM 22-25 key with LOW forward swing (maybe 5 more watts) turned all...

QT80 arriving today. Question: On your Q6P or QT80 - what was the lowest frequency when yours achieves full power .... and Does your full power drop off toward the high end also?

I understand the rules and wish to enter the contest https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/what-year-and-why-did-you-get-into-the-radio-hobby.270244/page-2

1976. High School Friends were getting into to it and it seemed like interesting fun. First Radio was a JC Penny Pinto, 23ch, bought used from a local. Had a Modulation Light on the front that would fire when talking. Punky little 5A power supply and a new Hy Gain 5/8 Penetrator Ground Plane on...

I got my money back from ebay this morning on the seller-botched QT80 buy. Have a New one coming. Will be looking forward to trying it out. From what everyone has said I believe I'll be very happy with it. Will report back here what power mine does on 15 meters and also I'll provide the Power...

One last question/comment. I grant that I'm coming in towards the end of this although the thread is only from June 22, AND I have only recently become interested in getting (another) radio out of this category. Anybody correct me if I'm wrong but is not the QT80 here a Q6PRO with a different...

So my recent attempted purchase of a Radioiddity QT80 on ebay for $200 has fallen through. I got concerned after the seller didn't ship after 4 days. When he finally responded he discovered .... which he should have known .... that being a newer seller with less than their prerequisite number of...

The Megawatts and similar budget supplies work great for cb & higher frequencies. Can't go wrong. For the ham side, they start throwing out nasty RFI around 24mhz and below. Again, NO noise at 11 meters and higher.

Hi Pez, Seeing reports that the 15M Power Output varies widely rig to rig. You said "slightly reduced" on yours but didn't mention the watts. What are you seeing on yours on 15M?
