Thanks Hans,
A friend of mine recovering from two strokes built the QMX before joining this group (showing all the issues) and it worked to his satisfaction. He is sending it to me as a gift as he doesn’t like digital modes. ?I have the kit I purchased from you (unbuilt yet) at Xenia and was just wondering…. I don’t turn things on and off quickly as that will cause more problems with computers than it’s worth but just had to ask.

Hello Dave
I don't think that is necessary.?
With a lot of effort, messing around with a poor intermittent 12V power supply connection, while simultaneously holding the left knob (power on/off) pressed, I was able to kill the 5.6V zener. But I don't think it is a major risk. You really had to try hard, to do it.

In this line of emails does it mean one should not turn the power ON and OFF in rapid succession or even semi quickly because it takes a few extra milliseconds for the power supply controls to do their job?? IE turn on, let it run a few seconds before turning off….. about the time needed to smell or see the magic smoke. ?

What a complete detailed response and education for everyone. I am impressed with your bandwidth and expertise relative to this wonderful QMX product.
Hi hi, bandwidth and expertise? You should ask my family, how often I showered, shaved, even SPOKE to them in the last few months! It's by far the biggest project I've ever done. So yeah I know every resistor and every line of code! I could probably write it all out from my head with very few errors!
