Re: QMX and FT8CN fix?
I think it could as well be a bug of FT8CN or Android operating system...
Some phones limit audio levels to protect ears.
And some phones have software DSP filtering to "enhance" audio output

Re: Help - VCC too high
Cliff, yeah, I am also concerned that this is not the last layer of the
onion that needs to be peeled down.
Overvoltage on the 5V supply rail tends to take out the PCM1804 ADC chip.

Re: Help - VCC too high
Ok, thanks. I like Mouser an they ship for $5 and I get it next day as they are close to me. I'll look at Digikey.
If this fixes the PS board then I'm puzzled about what else is not right.

Re: CW Issues
Hi Dave, Steve
Just so you know
1) Adjustable CW filter center frequency and bandwidth are on my list; then
you can have whatever sidetone and center frequency you want.
2) Semi-QSK not working is

Re: CW Issues
Thanks for all the suggestions...
The key clicks are virtually gone after using the AGC settings from /g/QRPLabs/topic/104712439.
Thanks for the info on 600 Hz being the smallest

Re: Loud Digi Audio Level
Hello Steve
There isn't a setting at the moment but I will add one, it's another thing
I already have on my list. Digi is not actually louder, the problem is it
is the SAME amplitude as CW. But CW

Ouch! Cliff, I think you found the culprit.
Digikey has the AO3415.

Re: Help - VCC too high
Yes, Q108 is bad. Measurements 20 - 50 ohms.
Next question, looking at Mouser AO3415A doesn't come up. I get a PJ3415 to come up. Is there a better part number?

Re: QMX/QMX+: Steps to safe antenna tuning and powering the unit
I made my own 'battery reducers' from 2A or 3A diodes in series. You don't
need a complicated circuit to do this.
Each diode drops the voltage by about 0.7V.
So, with a 14.4 V battery, and three

Re: Reasonably priced CW paddles
I have a cwmorse paddle ("NM0S") that I like fairly well. I've also borrowed one of their more typical paddles: it's OK. I'm also a CW newbie.
On the other hand, I built a set of the VK3IL pressure

Agreed, Cliff. That looks OK.
Try the same test on Q108. Let's see what we have there.

Drain-Source - Starts out at 10K then charges up to 22K+ (same regardless of +/- orientation, Gate-Drain 110K, Gate - Source 99K. Seems good to me.

Re: Help - VCC too high
Cliff ,
Remove the module from the main board.
Locate Q106. Using an ohmmeter, check the resistance at Q106: gate-source,
gate-drain, drain-source. All readings should be above 10K ohms. Any
