Re: On the TX signal, 5V tolerant I/Os and Pull-up resistors
All, Just as a reminder the TX signal on my QDX is working fine.? The issue was the secondary check that the MPU does for a valid tone to set and not a failure of the I/O output.? For some reason,

Re: QDX, one out of four
Thanks Evan I put the QDX in its case. The USB cable has ferrites on both ends. I also coiled the excess length and tied it together. For these tests I'm transmitting into a dummy load and using 9

Re: On the TX signal, 5V tolerant I/Os and Pull-up resistors
Hi Fred I don't agree... When the pin is an output, the processor sets it at either 0V or 3.3V. Provided its current handling capability isn't abused, it doesn't matter what voltage it is "pulled up"

Re: On the TX signal, 5V tolerant I/Os and Pull-up resistors
Interesting. I am reading that you should not have those pull-ups to 5V there at all if the pin is used as an output. The inputs have clamping diodes to clamp the 5v input to 3.3v. If anything having

Re: QDX has no power out

Hi Evan. In my previous work life, I made use of the fact that most CPUs never go totally to 0.0 volts, they usually will be above zero and well under 0.5 volts. When I was trouble shooting a CPU or

Re: QDX , Lost my TX power
Hi Matt, Have you measured your RF voltage at the output of T1 yet with your probe? The RF should be about the same as at the BS170¡¯s, this is the junction of C32, C34, T1. C32 feeds the voltage
