Ham radio testing requires a dummy load to avoid broadcasting signals. This device absorbs a large portion of the signal, preventing accidental transmissions. A dummy load allows users to experiment and test equipment safely.

There is a Quansheng modification that allows it to transmit and receive CW for Morse Code operation. I posted a six second video demonstrating it and hams on facebook couldn’t handle it. Today we talk about it and I show you how to modify your own Quansheng! Thanks @SOTA-plus and @K6ARK for the inspiration for performing the mod. Thanks@HamRadioDuo for the key!

Ham Radio Digital Modes: Audio OUT Circuit Explained
In this video, we continue building the TOADs ham radio digital interface with Part 3: the Audio OUT circuit.
This stage takes the audio from your computer’s sound card and safely sends it into your radio’s microphone input — so you can actually transmit digital modes like FT8, Winlink, JS8Call, APRS, and more.
We’ll cover:
• How a capacitor (C1) protects your gear by blocking DC
• How the variable resistor (VR2) works as a volume control
• How to adjust audio levels to avoid distortion
This is the mirror image of the Audio IN circuit — but instead of your radio talking to the computer, now the computer can talk back to the radio.
Whether you’re running FT8, Winlink, APRS, Packet, or AllStar, this circuit is the reason your computer can decode signals and turn them into text, messages, and contacts. We’ll explain it step by step in plain English, so even if you’re new to electronics, you’ll walk away knowing exactly how it works.
Works with ANY radio and YOUR imagination!

👉 Allstar
👉 APRS
👉 FT8
