I characterized my recently completed QMX+ by recording?
transmit current vs band and input voltage - 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 v (the/my QMX+ refuses to transmit below about 6.75v )
receive current was about 170ma at 7v input to about 110ma at 12v.
i also recorded transmit power at these same configurations.
two plots are attached.
160m exceeds 6W at 11v input and 7W at 12v
30 and 80 exceed 6w at 12v
maximum transmit current observed was 1.02A
Should I avoid using configurations that exceed 5W out, or is it the transmit current that is the destructive parameter?
thanks in advance
lars/KN5UTE?
