Again: consider QMX a CW-only rig, there is no harm in that. Nothing extra was paid in parts for the capability to do Digi and SSB... and nothing forces you to use those. Many big black box transceivers are not designed primarily?with CW in mind, so they do not do some things well such as, maybe they have relay Tx/Rx switching so QSK doesn't work; or maybe they have too much processing latency. QMX isn't one of these! Solid state Tx/Rx switching, low latency (around half the processing latency of a KX2), Blackmann Harris envelope shaping, and the expected features?like Keyer, CW decoder, etc. make it a very good and clean multi-band CW transceiver.?

Not to take away from QRPLabs lQQk at my orders and builds since 1916
Couple QCX (CLASSIC (1917...pre covid...hiHI,)) images on my page and built several since thru the QCX+ ?:>))
BUT just replaced my IC 7300 for the FT 710 Why? Bang for my buck the best CW rig on the market I can buy AND neither ever a microphone connected

Again not to take away from ?QRPLabs I just ordered THE Old Friend a CW ONLY QRP kit that tunes ONLY the CW segment of the band by k1swl Why? Ran out of CW 'only' kits from qrpLabs
?
The only SSB QSO I remember... Years ago (way before I retired 1997)? I was tuning the FT 817 lQQking for CW IOTH (lslands) heard a SSB station calling es calling es calling CQ IOTA with no replies First I had to find my mic then change modes es replied he was also 5 Watts and first SSB contact for both of us
