Another QMX+ became SSB capable
开云体育Kudos to Hans - the beta was well worth the wait!Thanks again to the folks that helped me earlier this year locate and replace the bad switch. I had not used the little beast that much after confirming the repair, mostly due to time commitments. Did get some good reports on CW, then shelved it until firmware beta 1-01-003 that covered SSB was dropped. The firmware upgrade was straight forward. I constructed two Mic adapters, one for a spare ICOM HM-219 and one for a Heil ProSet Elite iC. Both worked well without adjustments of any kind. First voice QSO was this afternoon on 40M with VA3XV up in Ontario (about 400+ miles). He reported the audio to be as very nice, as good as my 7610. The QMX+ even received a 54 sig report when the QSB and adjacent frequency QRM was not present. Next up configuring it for fldigi - FSQ and other digital modes... and of course portable ops. So far this has proved an excellent and surprisingly full featured little rig. --
