Re: Should I be disappointed?

Be Happy! ?You can fiddle with the toroids and mess up a great radio or be satisfied with those power output readings…. Anything over 3 watts is excellent and the ham at the other end won’t know the difference. ?If you are concerned build a 10 watt amplifier or even a 50 watt one. You will have to reduce your output power so you don’t blow up the amp though. ? ? My QRP Labs built QMX+ runs a little lower in output on some bands but it’s fine in my book. ? Be the REASON someone smiles today. Dave K8WPE toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Dec 24, 2024, at 10:23?AM, terompet via groups.io <terompet@...> wrote: ? My new assembled QMX+ showed up on my doorstep yesterday and I was very excited!? Everything checks out fine, but I find that I am disappointed in the reported power output levels: 160m 5.7w, 80m 4.8w, 60m 4.1w, 40m 3.9w, 30m 4.5w, 20m 3.3w, 17m 3.1w, 15m 4.5w, 12m 3.2w, 10m 3.8w, 6m 3.1w.? I am most disappointed with 3.3w on 20 meters since that is my goto qrp band.? I guess that I was expecting power output numbers on all bands to be closer to 5 watts.? Should I be disappointed?
