I’m a real sucker for kits of any stripe.<\/p>\n

A few days ago, my buddy, Pete (WB9FLW), sent me a tip about the new QCX+ CW\/WSPR transceiver by QRP Labs<\/a>. I posted an announcement on QRPer.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve yet to build a QRP Labs kit, but I’ve only heard positive reviews from readers and friends. QRP Labs’ president, Hans Summers (G0UPL), is an amazing kit designer and, indeed, won the 2019 Homebrew Heroes Award<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last year, at the 2019 Hamvention, QRP Labs had a table across from ours and, based on the amount of people huddled around his table all day long, I’m certain he was one of the busiest vendors at Hamvention.<\/p>\n

His new QCX+ transceiver is an upgraded\/updated version of the original QCX transceiver which has sold nearly 10,000 units. In the following video<\/a>, Hans describes in detail how the QCX+ is designed and the differences between it and its predecessor:<\/p>\n
