Re: No receive QMX
To put it another way, what does the same screen look like on a unit that is working normally in receive. Thanks

Re: No receive QMX
That's not transmitting, at least as far as the software is concerned.
PTT signal and RF output are both off, voltage isn't shown, BIAS SMPS is off.
Press T and you should see the difference.

No receive QMX
I have completed my QMX tx works fine on transmit but there is no receive on any band.
Attached a picture of the configuration screen. It looks like it's permanently on transmit, what would be the

Paul, maybe flashing your firmware, at that 180 mA limited current, was marginal for getting a good flash. Your startup delays, and failure to shutdown, sound more to me like software issues than

Turn that backlight pot completely counterclockwise to start. Ideal contrast might be a hair off of full left, but anything beyond that is blank screen territory. 50% is definitely a blank screen. As

Paul, I'm glad you got the screen fixed. No, those long delays are not normal. Do a system reset, and if that doesn't work, try re-flashing firmware followed by a system reset. If the problem still

Thanks for getting back Paul.
You are correct! In my case it should then trip the current limited supply. However, the QMX doesn't draw current at any time and never goes over my pre-set limit ?

25 mA is not enough. Hans suggests 250 mA and 7 volts somewhere... I set my current to about 180 mA and it came up.

Is there some kind of log for QMX issues? Don't want to bore anybody by reporting what's known, or my build defect!

Re: QMX - smoke - another C107/Q108 failure

In my case, it turned out to be that I'd damaged the trace from pin 14 on the LCD to pin 8 of JP304.
Fixed it and the display came on. :-)

The 1N4148 diode in the 3.3V power supply is to isolate the 78M33 when the

Recommendation is not to switch inductors while transmitting. Really pretty easy to peak up noise or signal on Rx, then just use Cin & Cout to fine tune. Rarely do you need to change inductor, but if
