So, replying to my own message. I ran beacon mode this morning and it failed within 2 hours when spots ceased.. Power cycling the rig resolved the problem for a while until it failed again around 2 hours later. This time, I did see JD38 reported befor all spots ceased again.
I videoed the screen for a both good transmission and a corrupt (no reports received) transmission. There were differences in the first 10 characters between the good and bad transmission (There may well be further differences. It's tedious to work through the whole 160 characters, but I will do so if it helps?).?
The transmitted characters I recorded were as follows (first column is the corrupt and the second is valid):
?
3 1 *
0 0
2 2
0 0
2 2
2 0 *
2 2
1 1
2 2
2 2
?
Which seems to confirm that the problem lies with the QMX+/QLG3 combination.
Hans, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you solve this.
