Re: QMX assembly successful but no receive or transmit

If it does set start appropriately for your requirements, eg if you want

Hi,
I would check also if the C510, C526 values are OK and the T507 primary (one turn) is not scratched somewhere.

Another thought: can you verify continuity from the BNC to one side of C526 and not the other?

Re: QMX assembly successful but no receive or transmit

The sweep value should be higher than -10 for the highest value
