Re: What's the Weakest Signal You Can Get a Response From?
It is all about your antenna and the activity on the band.
No magic number.

Re: What's the Weakest Signal You Can Get a Response From?
QRP (< 5W) is a challenge.
hamspots.net and pskreporter.info both show lots of low SNR for your transmissions.

What's the Weakest Signal You Can Get a Response From?
When working WSJT-X, what is the weakest incoming signal you expect to get a response from?
I'm running a QDX and a QMX, each putting out 2-4 W depending on the band. I find that I rarely get a

Re: QMX+ back up clock accuracy
Hello Don
700 / 1900 Hz, standard two tone frequencies. VFO on 7030 kHz (I know, CW
segment nor SSB... It's only testing to the spectrum analyzer via 50 ohm
attenuators).
I'm using phase

Re: qmx with tiny lcd display
When going from an aluminum housing as provided by QRP Labs to a 3D printed one, I suspect that, due to the poorer thermal conductivity of the plastic/air matrix, high temperature issues may arise

Re: QMX+ back up clock accuracy
Hans:? Brilliant work!? What tone frequencies are you using? The uneven IMs point to some AM->PM distortion.
Has any predistortion been applied?? Is there code space to do so?? Plans to do

Because of the shipping cost being way more than the component cost I have a business account with Mouser and create 'BOMs' using Mouser's web page and just drop a single order to get a few dozen

Re: QMX+ back up clock accuracy
Tonight's build of Hamlib will have set_clock and get_clock for the QMX (does not work for QCX or QDX according to their manuals).
set_clock can take utc and local as arguments to set the current

Re: Still no output on QMX
James,
You could use an LM-317 voltage regulator to knock-down the input voltage to any value you determine. It uses two external resistors in a voltage-divider circuit to set the output. They do

Re: QMX+ back up clock accuracy
Hi Mike
Yes there's a CAT command "TM" for get/set of the real time clock. I forget
the format but it should be documented in the operating manual along with
all the other CAT commands.

Re: qmx with tiny lcd display
Yes, find a smaller display and rotate it 90deg is the first step i will do.
Creating enclosure with a new arrangement of components and 3d printing the next step.

Re: QMX+ back up clock accuracy
Is there a CAT command to set the clock?
I have added QRPLabs? to Hamlib already so can customize it if there are extra commands available.
rigctl -l | find "QMX"
? 2052? QRPLabs? ? ? ? ? ?

Re: QMX+ back up clock accuracy
Hello Mark
Fixing the accuracy of the RTC is again something on my to-do list. The RTC
runs from the 32.768 kHz crystal and like any uncompensated uncalibrated
crystal they can be off. I will include

QMX+ back up clock accuracy
I'm using a QMX+ with the CR2032 installed and "QMX+ RTC" selected.
The problem is with the accuracy of the clock when the unit isn't switched on.
AFAICT, it's pretty accurate when the radio is
