Re: QMX+ is dead after voltage drops to 5V

Hi Sardar;VDD in the QMX+ is 3.3 Volts. Is this what you had your Nano connected to?Can you explain what you mean by "showed 5V" - how was this voltage measured?73; Steve, N3SB

Re: New Build but can¡¯t get firmware to load
Thanks for that info. I actually have ordered some inductors so I¡¯ll wait for the replacement. In the mean time, I had already ordered 2 (accidentally) 15-60 units. I will only need one so I can use

Re: QMX+ High Current and Self Start
You definitely have a bad or misplaced component in the Vin circuit.? The voltage should come up in milliseconds.

You likely back-fed 5V from the USB into the un-powered QMX 5V power supply, killing it.? Looking at the schematic, you may have fried Q108 or Q105.? I would check that area of the circuitry.

Sardar, did you measure Vdd when pressing the PWR On command. If you did and it was not there either, you might try a new 5 volt power regulator board. It may have been damaged by the backfeed,

Re: QMX+ test ADC I/Q shows one phase missing
I¡¯ve seen this before. ?It¡¯s difficult to diagnose without a scope. ?But if you have a multimeter you can check the dc bias. ?There should be about 2.5 volts dc on pins 1 & 7 of IC405 & IC406.

Observation: V+ takes a couple of minutes to build up from Vin upon first application of input power. Once 5.15V is reached at V+, push button power on is possible. If the radio is powered down, a

Re: New Build but can¡¯t get firmware to load
Oh, indeed (and not). So its not an overload but an open connection. The result looks similar, Duty cycle is reaching Duty max and a low Voltage or 0 V is produced by the SMPS. One thing is weird. You

Just open the devicemanager, without plugged in the qmx. Check what serial ports there are. Then plug in the qmx and you will hear a sound and in the serial ports should change something. nothing
