Re: QMX+ Front Panel Soldering - Alternate Method
I¡¯ve built two QMX+ and used this method to solder the display.
It adds probably 15 minutes to the build time, with the pre-assembly and disassembly, but so much easier to solder!

Nice article, but I see two problems...
1) It will also attenuate received signal
2) If built into connector it vill be hot

Thanks Stan for your VarAC setup, I have replicated it, no change there is a momentary tx less than a second then nothing even when protection is disabled. To do it again I have to switch the QMX off

Oops, mis-spoke, the drive level is very important for VARA; I set it to max.
Make sure you have QMX SSB input set to 'USB' rather than 'Ext. mic'.

Not much different, I don't think.

- In the VARA modem settings (not sure if any of this is relevant):

Thanks Stan, no S appears.? You have described your VARA setup elsewhere for WINLINK, please can you give it for VaraAC which has more detail to it?

This would happen if the QMX is going into SWR protect.? Does an 'S' appear after the frequency on the QMX display?
My VARA HF works OK with both VAR-AC and Winlink in USB mode.

Re: QMX only hearing static
Ludwig,
My apologies for not responding today, I was busy all day with a search and rescue exercise.
Anyways, I tried what you suggested and made sure that there was FT8 activity on the frequency and

Re: QMX+ with WA3TFS amplifier
For PTT operation remove C17 (or lift one leg)
5v injected into that point (R6) will cause it to go into TX and should
be under 3ma.
C16 and C17 determine hold in time after release.? Fro SSb longer

Re: QMX issues
Of all their batteries I found all of the "9V" were when full charged were
11.1Volts, not much surprize as there are no combination of LFE or Lion
that hits 9V they are all 11+ Volts or the next

Re: QMX issues
Well alrighty then!? I had NO IDEA that the voltages were that way, Stan.? I'll never understand why 9V is actually 11.1V and 12V is actually 13.8V LOL.? Thanks much.

Re: QMX+ with WA3TFS amplifier
Jamie, when I measured current draw through the QMX +5V PPT line connected to R6 with RF in, the values were quite high at up to ~150mA.? So I then tried injecting the +5V directly to the base of T1

Mark, a freshly charged "9V" Bioenno battery will have an output voltage significantly higher than 9V.
From the Bioenno manual, its nominal voltage is 9V, but its charge voltage is 11.1V.? After some

Re: QMX+ Front Panel Soldering - Alternate Method
That's exactly what I did, then removed the screws and reconnected it to the front panel. Seemed way easier. You have to kind of slide the nylon nuts in between the boards, but it worked just fine.
