Re: Automatic Antenna Tuner, Internal Battery with a charger and built-in speaker for QMX+. Open Source.
Stan, RR--I'm not going to cut the center pin from MY main board! I'm quite happy with my power cord inline Drok adjustable regulator solution to these problems. With the correct settings on the V and

Re: Automatic Antenna Tuner, Internal Battery with a charger and built-in speaker for QMX+. Open Source.
Another solution that we could consider is to put a suitable diode on the companion board, feeding into the + terminal of the BMS.? The other end of that diode gets hooked (using an 18 guage or so

QMX hardware test behavior in practice mode
While building and debugging my QMX (1_00_027 firmware) I had a confusing moment when I put the transceiver into Practice mode, forgot about it, and then tried to use the SWR Measurement function.?

Re: MFJ-1984LP Antenna 80m-10m EFHW 30W
First I messed up my antenna is: MFJ-1982LP, END FED, 1/2 WAVE, 80-10M, 30W WIRE ANTENNA Not MFJ-1984LP. The coil has 6 turns. Thanks, AC4OW, Sam Thanks, Sam Hanie samhanie@... 623-219-8130

Re: QMX+: RWTST how to wind T501
The 3:2 transformer has two symmetrical windings. One, the primary has 3 turns, the other 2 turns.

Re: Automatic Antenna Tuner, Internal Battery with a charger and built-in speaker for QMX+. Open Source.
With LM386 instability (which I have run into over the years), the series RC has to be matched to the speaker of interest. Some standard values such as 10 ohms and 0.05uF as indicated in the data

Re: QMX+: RWTST how to wind T501
You are correct in your statements regarding the photos.? It is symmetrical. The 3:2 comes in the following steps, when you cut the twisted loop (becomes the two ends of the primary), and re-twist

Re: Automatic Antenna Tuner, Internal Battery with a charger and built-in speaker for QMX+. Open Source.
Hi Sardar, please don't get my above comment wrong. I fully agree with you, it's a low cost, low effort solution, which can work for most cases. I just wanted to mention that this is not a "consumer

Great save.? You have nice tight winds on that transformer.Perhaps a bit more than the recommended 3 per centimeter being enough.? I too snapped a wire on that assembly on my first QMX build. I did
