  • Page 5 IMD performance was not good at all. We then found that 6 meters Xiegu had a new and improved version of the amplifier, so the editors decided to review the new unit. When we received the new version, we saw the same problem with power Input (W) output on the 10- and 6-meter bands.

    Ham Radio Solutions CW Hotline Reviewed by Sean Klechak, W9FFF sean.klechak@gmail.com To advance my Morse code skills, I’ve continuously tried different learning methods. I eventually felt I was ready to get on the air and make CW contacts. My 20 parts to solder in this kit, all of which attach to an code transmission was slow, my code reception was included PCB and are enclosed in a plastic case.
  • Page 8 During my build, I used a flux pen while soldering the electrical components to the PCB. I have found flux to be critical in properly soldering components. Even with the solder-containing change, I added some via my flux pen. Finally, it could be difficult to solder components on a PCB without holding the PCB in place.
  • Page 9 this portal, I connected to VBand and started prac- ticing my code in the “Practice Channel,” a private channel to practice code. This is nice because I could practice on my own or practice with QSO bot, an automated bot that simulates regular contact on CW. After some practice, I tried to make contact and prac- tice code in one of the public channels.

At $50 per kit, it is well designed and spot and configured one of the CW Hotline devices easy to understand, and it provides an online portal for the phone’s Wi-Fi.
