Re: Diagnostics fail with no BS170s installed
#qmx
Hi Chris, Just for my understanding, when you say BS170 gate drive, is this at the gate pins, or IC501? I would only expect the clock to appear at the BS170 gates in transmit mode. I am not sure what

Re: New pre-built QMX+: TX on digital (FT4/FT8) not working
I'm not sure if you are aware of these indicators, which may help: When you tune or otherwise turn on tx from wsjt-x, do you see a small dot appear under the 'A' vfo indicator on the QMX? Or do you

New pre-built QMX+: TX on digital (FT4/FT8) not working
Hello, I recently got my pre-built QMX+ and have had no success getting it to transmit on digital modes.? It took me a while to find a USB-A to USB-C cable that would do both audio and serial

Thanks for the suggestions, Alan, what I see is that I can read and set the C2 value but this has no effect on what I see from the BS170 gate drive (a convenient place to look).? Changing the Rx

Phil, The resolution gets reduced quite a bit here, but once you redo T501, I would resolder the pin diode connections. Some of them look like the possible cold joints. Also, It's hard to tell for

Re: ATU-100
Paul, I run the QMX with an ATU-10 for one primary reason. It only requires 1 watt to trigger a Tune cycle. The -100 takes 3 watts or so. With the -100 you must tune at near full power which I don¡¯t

Well that went down like a lead balloon! Replaced T501 with a conventional winding for 9v rather than twisted sisters. No improvement, in fact the lpf sweeps are now awful. I couldn't screen print
