The problem, as always, is money vs time.
For a long time I didn't want to spend money on a proper, factory-made,
100 W transceiver, especially as I'm mostly interested in CW, so a
transceiver doing SSB would be an overkill.
I'm still weighing pros and cons (DIY vs something that just works, plug
and play, and is on warranty in case it doesn't).
On the other hand, QMX isn't too complicated for me to diagnose and fix.
It's a simple and elegant circuit. A factory-made rig, once warranty runs
out, probably would be.
My concern is with the receiver. How does the QMX receiver compare to the
one in, say, Yaesu FT-891 (a rig I want to buy)?
