Bill,
I simply used the values from Hans’ video on YouTube.
I put out a CQ on 40m after the upgrade to 1_00_017 and worked Ralph DL1HR who was also using a QMX.
The AGC certainly makes 40m more

Hello Bojan
I'm not sure it's so bad. Problem is, if you use lower power, the noise
floor hits you sooner. So the range of the measurement is less. If you use
more power, then as you say, VSWR hits.

Hi Hans,
well, perhaps I did not explain my observations well.
When doing the SWR scans we transmit a preset portion of RF power into a load/antenna. In my case it is 45%. And the scan stops before

WSPR Receive Frequency on QCX Mini With TCXO
Hi,
Can someone please advise?? I want to use my 20M QCX Mini with TCXO to listen to WSPR using WSJTx. Do I set my receive frequency to 14.0956 MHz, or 14.0971MHz?
My PC time is spot on, but I

S meter works well.
With the LPF sweep I suspect that the chosen output power is too much for the LPF test as it is obvious that half of the sweep goes into the filtered zone.

At the moment yes that's the design. The IQ mode abandons all subsequent
