Hello guys. First of all I have to apologize my subscribers for not being able to upload a new video for one month. Well, I just couldn't due to being sick with Covid-19. My wife and I we are now recovering and hope everything will be OK. Taking this opportunity I wish you all a good health and hope that this virus will soon leave us all alone due to the vaccination and our all joint efforts.
This is one more of my Reviews on the SDR Minion ham radio HF 10 band transceiver made by the "QRP'ver" company in Ukraine. This time I have tested how this little transceiver would work in the CW mode. And found it a very shoddy CW indeed ... Yet another problem is that the company is not communicating with the customers , so there is no way to ask them what do they think about the flaws in their product. But after some experimenting and tweaking around with the settings, I think I found kind of a workaround at least making this otherwise very nice transceiver being usable also on CW as one of the most popular modes among us QRP'ers.
If you have your own experience with the SDR Minion and you've got more ideas on how to fix the flaws, please leave your comments in the comments section.
This is not the first my review of this QRP rig. The others are elsewhere on this channel:
