Re: QMX - Any progress on key clicks please?
Same experience here as others have reported.
Distracting clicks, severity varies by band, less intense with AGC off. Fiddling with AGC settings can mitigate somewhat. Present with dummy load or

QMX Rev 3 Hi Band Kit
Started my build, but I got to L502 & T401 and I'm stuck. The manual calls for both to be FT37-43. However, one of mine is a dull black, while the other is shiny black. Are they the same? Now I'm not
