Hi all
I completed the QMX kit build and got everything up and running OK including making some initial FT8 QSOs.
I built for 12V and have been running on 12V from my regulated (but not current limited) bench PSU with a total power on time so far of about 2 hours.
So today I was exploring the menus for beacon mode, when the magic smoke suddenly escaped - QMX was not transmitting at the time
It looks like the C107/Q108 failures reported by others here
I think the best approach here will be to rig up linear 3.3/5V supplies (I have plenty of linear regulators to hand) to test the main boards for collateral damage before repairing the PSU board
Any thoughts ?
Cheers
Rick
