Re: QMX: Kit Build complete - My observations

Everything went well. Then I assembled the rest. Nice beast.
Awesome ? And yes Hans, if you don't know already, there is really really no place left on that board. What were you thinking? Haha.
Well it was all about romance. Marriage. Of QDX and QCX-mini. For whatever reason, I was determined to make it all fit in the same enclosure as QCX-mini. And use through-hole capacitors in the filters so we can have different band-coverage versions, like QDX, just by choice of supplied components. The mechanical design was going to be more like QCX-mini and the electronic design more like QDX (plus extras). Ask my XYL, she says I'm the most obstinate thing she's ever known (and as often as not, wishes she didn't). Of course, I disagree. But then again I did absolutely refuse to back down from my fixed PCB size, to fit in the QCX-mini enclosure. And when there still wasn't space in the building... well I just put in another floor (the SMPS floor!).?
