The headset has a electret mic. I didn't measure the resistance. It sounded perfectly adequate when I used it on my pc.
Hower, the output from the mic seems too low using it with my QMX+.

I'd be interested in a group buy if and when it happens.

Mel, was the gaming headset mic an electret element, or another type like dynamic or crystal elememt? What does its resistance measure?
Gaming headsets are known to be poor quality in general. In my

Ok, good new information always helps.? Looks like the processor is indeed able to measure the voltage at ADC_3V3, but I am quite confused about why the processor would be maxing out its 3V duty

Randy, something is strange. Early you wrote VDD is produced by the linear regulator. LIN_REG_EN must show some volts to connect IC101 to "+12V" via Q102. Your schematic shows 0V at LIN_REG_EN.

I guess Jeff will help. After repair it would be nice to read, what he found.

Ludwig,
I do not have the ability to use a variable power supply, so I did not test as you wrote earlier. I am going to reach out to Jeff Moore and see if he's willing to help fix it as I do not have

If you are going to save the part, just clip the leads and unsolder the

This might need clarification for some:
Lifting one end of a resistor or cap or diode can rip the opposite pad off the board.
That will ruin your day.
Usually easy enough to repair by running a wire

I have to correct. Checking my repair records I found one case with a broken IC403, not clear why broken.

Re: Newly assembled QMX, SWR=1.5 with dummy load
Adding Chris's BAT41 and 0.1uF cap to read the peak voltage with a DVM is a good idea, will work great for a QMX.
Han's 20W dummy load does the same, but uses a 1n4004 diode, good for 400 Volts,
