Re: QMX+ Pulse in headphones on TX


 

Ok, you certainly have some sort of issue with the bias current supply.
It should be a very constant 30mA.
This could definitely cause a pulsing on tx as it wildly changes values.
All of the other info looks good.

I am not an expert on this circuit, but know that a few others have had issues with it.
See the notes on this wiki page: /g/QRPLabs/wiki/37668
?
I also remember reading from Jeff W1NC that failures in C504 are not uncommon (soldering, sometimes cracked, etc.)
One user had a broken L501.? And then the broken transistors noted at the above link.
So inspect that part of the circuitry carefully under high magnification for soldering issues or damaged parts.
?
Good luck in quickly finding the issue...

p.s. rev 3 boards are the most recent; they have the LPF capacitors preinstalled.
