Re: Help - VCC too high
John, RF Sweeps and AF sweeps are pure garbage. No scope here. Using Raspberry Pi for testing. Regarding using Audacity just run audio output from the QMX into Audacity? I thinking I'll just go ahead

Re: Help - VCC too high
It would be nice to check by an oscilloscope (osci GND one time to SMPS GND and one time to QMX GND; but don't bypass GND via power supply). Maybe there are ripple at VCC. The GND connection PCB#1 to

Re: Help - VCC too high
Cliff and Tony, could be but with the broken SMPS it was 0 %. It's mysterious without knowing the software. Some times ago I found a post with a related document. This document seems to be deleted

Re: QMX MB - Wonky SWR Sweep
GL and others, I'm embarrassed to report that heat took care of it--or mostly. 60, 40, 30 & 20 all have SWR sweeps below 1.3:1. Thank you! Hitting 'T' in putty yields about 1.25 watts for each freq at

Re: CW Issues
Jay, are you using sidetone absolute or relative? Relative worked much better for me in additional to sample blocks = 2. -Steve K1RF

Jay, here are my settings on a low band QMX Rev1 (See attachments). Your sample blocks need to be set to 2. That will make all the difference. - Steve K1RF

Re: Help - VCC too high
Cliff, I see the ADC_5V and PWM_5V signals at jumpers JP_101 and JP_102 on PCB #1 board itself. Other than that, I don¡¯t see any good places to probe them. Beyond this, I¡¯d venture a guess that

Re: Help - VCC too high
Roger that. That check can be done but it is a bit complicated and only works if you can actually hear signals. First off, bad IF sweeps are a big clue. If one ADC channel has failed then IF sweeps

Re: Help - VCC too high
Ok, no harm in trying. Before I order the part for the PS Board, is there a way to check if the PCM1804 is good. Save on shipping if I order both at the same time. 73, Cliff, AE5ZA
