T41-2/T41-3 Off-The-Shelf Modules

This is a list of example off-the-shelf modules which are used in the T41-2 and T41-3 series of T41 radios. These modules are easily found on eBay, Amazon, Aliexpress etcetera.

QSD2 V1.0 Regulator Circuit Change

This note covers a recommended change to the QSD2EZ V1.0 circuit. The board will probably work well without this change, however, in some boards the 2.5 volt regulators may not properly regulate. This is due to the very light load on the regulators. Also, I recommend removing one of the regulators, and installing an option “DNP” (Do Not Place) so that the circuit works with a single regulator.

Encoders for T41 Radios

From the very beginning of the T41 project, Al and Jack recommended “Bourns” brand encoders. I agree that they are 100% correct on this.
