Re: Error in 5V SMPS diagnostics
Hi all The firmware reports an error if the duty cycle is higher than the internal model's maximum for the applied input voltage, in the attempt to raise the supply rails (3.3V and 5V) to their target

Re: Automatic Antenna Tuner, Internal Battery with a charger and built-in speaker for QMX+. Open Source.
Hi Sardar, yes, the reset activates the bypass mode and from my point of view this is sufficient. Today the fresh batteries arrived and I'll start testing that part. 73 DK7CVD

Re: Error in 5V SMPS diagnostics
Hi Chris, I am not sure what the criteria is for the ¡°Error¡± status on the SMPS, perhaps it is measured voltage and duty cycle. It does seem a bit odd that the 3V3 supply does not report the error

Re: MFJ-1984LP Antenna 80m-10m EFHW 30W
Good day the setup I¡¯ve seen has the coil about 6ft from the transformer. 6-7 turns on 1 inch form. ?This should pull upper bands down into CW portions nicely. take a look at the ¡°my antennas ¡°

It doesn't seem to be bricked because the MCU is running well enough to connect to the PC as a drive. I would try PUTTY.? There are guides about this in the manuals. but basically * install PUTTY *

Dirk, I definitely did not miss your report. Just wanted to clarify it¡¯s material implications. This is my understanding: 1.Reset function of ATU works as expected, putting ATU in a bypass mode when

Not better, debatable. Pushing and holding the tune knob has an existing function... The proposed function on the speed is better because it does not involve any debate! 73 Hans G0UPL

Re: MFJ-1984LP Antenna 80m-10m EFHW 30W
Good to hear that all works for you. Does your antenna has small coil about 72" from transformer? If so, could you tell me how many turns does it have? Also how high is your transformer above the

Re: Error in 5V SMPS diagnostics
Fixed.? All I did was add a 220k resistor in parallel to the 22k on the high side of the voltage divider that provides the ADC_5V signal. The 5V SMPS Status is now OK, Voltage: 5.24V, Duty Max: 78%,

Hi Gwen, My +ABS addition is working very well in my QMX+ after the tweaks we've all been discovering and developing here. I hope to validate Sardar's latest changes to the Companion Board PCB in time

Thanks, Dirk! Yes--I missed it. That makes sense. If all those relays had been powered-up, my antenna, which features under 3:1 SWR w/o a tuner throughout the entirety of ham HF and even 6m
