Re: QMX - What's up?
Well John, add another mystery to the list, at least this one hopefully won't be so difficult to solve.
I'm happily going along decoding and sending CQ in Wsjtx and I noticed that all signals on the

Re: QMX RX BPF troubleshooting, a new clue
Hello John
Certainly it is! And remarkably high performance at a low cost and simple
implementation!
I'm not sure this is the case. When you sweep the RF, at each of the 80
points on an RF sweep

Re: QDX Experimental PA Simulation
Hi Tony, Hans et al,
As I had posted earlier, modelling the output transformer for QDX/QMX
is tricky business!
Proper modeling of the output transformer is complicated at the
outset. There are

Re: QDX Experimental PA Simulation
Hi Hans,
You make valid points, especially about modeling the output transformer.
I’ll leave this question to JZ as he has more expertise in this particular
area. I do think his model is fairly

In my case, I have only seen the sound card show up as ttyACM0 or ttyACM1, usually 0. I've not looked to see if there is a USB0 or USB1 present before/after the SC disappears.

Re: QMX RX BPF troubleshooting, a new clue
Hi Ryuji,
The Tayloe detector/downconverter is a complex and interesting entity!
What are you taking for the impedance at the input of that circuit?

Re: QMX - What's up?
Hi Cliff,
Would you please take a good clear high resolution picture of your board, zoomed-in on the four PA transistors, and post it up here for us?
Thanks!

Re: QMX RX BPF troubleshooting, a new clue
I revisited this issue with morning coffee.
The problem of unwanted interactions between the LPF and BPF is most severe where the BPF's center frequency is near the corner frequency of the connected

Re: QDX gone single band...
Dan,
did you check the settings in the terminal program to see that all of the bands are set to active?
It's possible that some stray RF of something else reset them.

Re: QMX - What's up?
No problem, Cliff!
We still have a mystery on our hands, though. I hope we can get to
understand the transistor failures!
Perhaps run your radio at reduced power for a while?

Hi Mike
PWR_HLD when battery connected is? zero
PWR_HLD when on/off is pressed is 3v and says at 3v pressed or not.
