Re: QMX Feature Request - field “tune” mode
The schematic of the N7VE bridge is readily available from many sources. I used the one from wb3gck.com as shown on his Z-Match tuner; just implement the bridge portion if you want. There are several

Re: QMX Feature Request - field “tune” mode
Would it be possible to turn the power down automatically as the SWR rises to protect the PA?? Maybe start at a SWR of 2 and reduce to the specified limit by 3. Restore the power, ideally slowly,

Re: looking for non-US keyer chip
You can build around an Arduino chip or board, which you might get cheaper from a Canadian source for Arduino components?

I just read Frank DL2GRF's post and noted that we have a common
issue, small component orders are eclipsed by shipping and handling
costs.

Thanks, but the problem is almost certainly caused by the STM32 which
no longer communicates with the computer. All I have left is the

Hello Tisha
The MOSFET gates are particularly ESD sensitive. It's the Drain which is
connected to the external jack (via a resistor).

Thank you again Cliff,
I should keep the list handy, Thor is of interest at the moment.

I do think W6CSN's request is fulfilled by the SWR feature in the hardware
