The BS170 (finals) are low power devices with a thermal impedance of 150C/W.? Trying to reduce the internal chip temperature by lowering the already low external thermal impedance is pretty

Re: 2nd QMX Build and it wont power on and an update on my old unit...
Hello Devan
There's only one ADC on the main board which is the PCM1804. But I'd

already posted that here, too many topics to

Re: QMX - sockets for BS170s
So I think the discussion about pin headers for the PA transistors is adventurous. The most important point with all devices QCX, QDX and now QMX is absolutely the use of a tuner. The antenna needs to

Good morning,
I have received and built my second QMX according to the current build guide, and cannot get it to power on. I built it for 12v operation and I tried starting at 7v and then up to 10v

Re: QMX: Kit Build complete - My observations
Hi Bojan
Awesome
Well it was all about romance. Marriage. Of QDX and QCX-mini. For whatever
reason, I was determined to make it all fit in the same enclosure as
QCX-mini. And use through-hole

Re: QMX - smoke - another C107/Q108 failure

Re: CAT port returns ` ` ` on QCXmini
Putty can be configured to wait for carriage return to send message.? Just set "local line editing" and "local echo" to "force on"?in the terminal options.

Re: QMX thoughts
Hans, ok, I understand your point of view.
By win-win I meant a better and less risky MC supply. A bit more mAmps doesn't hurt much either.

Re: QDX-M on 6 meters?
TNX Ross! That would be really helpful. I have an unbuilt QDX R2 that I
can build up as an M. Just leave out the multiband stuff and go for 6M

Yes one could have designed it with a single SMPS regulator, at the expense

Re: CAT port returns ` ` ` on QCXmini
Not to mention that TRUE RS232 levels swing + and - at those higher voltages.? So your 6V RS232 logic is very likely switching between +6V and -6V.
There is a good explanation here:

I see my QMX as a very well thought out rig. Works nice. FT8 and CW. I built it for +12V.
