Re: BS170 Killer?
I use a cheap (47 EUR ) 858D clone I bought in my my local electronics shop with no problems, so far. It's really a big ?helper enabling to avoid mess on your pcb when it comes to removing

Re: Weak receive on QMX version 1 - New build
I would just try flowing the solder around the encoders to see if that helps. On my qcx-mini they are fine on my qmx the right vfo encoder does at times miss the fact that I'm turning it but

Re: QMX and MAT-705 Plus Tuner?
I've used the ATU-10 and ATU-100 in auto tune mode with both my QMX (and some QCX mini before) with great success to tune random pieces of wire (and efhw antennas for bands they were not built for)

Re: Qcx Mini as a 6 Meter CW Beacon
Good morning John, I now realized that I sent the wrong photo, in reality the C30 is installed, instead for L4 I used the yellow T37-6 because on the color scale the yellow ranges from 3 to 50 MHz

Re: QMX Low Band is using High Bands
Upon installing the firmware, at first boot, the software asks what flavor of QMX it's running on. You probably answered "20-10m" by mistake. Make a long press on the left small button, the menu

Re: BS170 Killer?
Joe, cheap hot air is fine for hobbyist use. I have a Yihua 3-channel, that I bought several years ago for about $45. https://a.co/d/9ghEfTl Looks like it's gone up in price, at least for now.

Re: 5W mini transmitter for presetting the ATU
Hello J?rg, Thanks for the tip. I ordered the PICKIT3. For 33€. That doesn't hurt your wallet so much, but when you consider that an ATU-100 only costs €29. Or 3,5 pieces of 20W dummy load from

QMX Low Band is using High Bands
I have just built my QMX, however it is deaf probably because it is using 20, 17, 15, 12, 11 and 10m but I built it for 80, 60, 40, 30 and 20m. Does anyone have a clue what is going on please?

Re: BS170 Killer?
Does anyone have an idea on which soldering rework station or hot air rework station is best? Amazon has a large amount of rework stations to pick from. I have a stack of older transceivers to repair

Re: BS170 Killer?
Following my previous post I also use a Hermes Lite 2 SDR transceiver. That unit uses two RF Power LDMOS transistors for its PA: AFT05MS003NT1, which are now obsolete but were sold by Digikey at

Re: Qcx Mini as a 6 Meter CW Beacon
Hi Giuseppe, I have two questions. First, the C30 (30pF) capacitor is not installed. Did you remove it? Also, I see that at L4 instead of the T37-2 (red) toroid you used a T37-6 (yellow), I was

Re: 5W mini transmitter for presetting the ATU
Hello Axel, I have also 3 ATU-100 kits and tried to read the EEPROM content with my Pickit3. Impossible, the program was read protected! Most probably yours will also be protected. Related to

Re: Weak receive on QMX version 1 - New build
Cliff, Yes, the sweeps look much closer to what is shown in the manual. All are in an acceptable area on the display. Glad the fix was this easy. Gary a. - W0MNA

Re: Weak receive on QMX version 1 - New build
Gary, Glad to hear of the success. Have you done the sweeps after the fix? The should look similar to the ones in the Operation manual. Also lots of examples - good and bad, on this mail

Re: QMX and MAT-705 Plus Tuner?
Hi Jim, First, PTT control has not been enabled in the QMX firmware at this time. Second, there are many warnings against using auto tuners on the QMX. The transient spikes when the relays switch
