Re: SSB Calibration blown finals
In the QMX+ I just mount them face up with the washer as usual. In my QDXs I have experimented extensively with heat sinks and I found that heat was never an issue. I do not run WSPR, mainly

Re: QMX SSB Vertical lines on VARA waterfall?
Are you using VOX? I had the same issue until I upgraded to latest firmware and back to cat PTT control.

Interesting thing happened on my 20-10 meter QMX after loading the latest FW 1.01.003
I loaded 1.01.003 last night and ran the calibration routine. I thought everything went ok. I cycled power and started tuning around the bands. The first band I tried was 40 meters. I heard a group

VARA Rise/Fall Threshold Changes Affect JS8?
KJ7RBS (I think) did yeoman's work in getting the QDX to work with VARA.? He suggested setting:
Rise Threshold to 65 (default 80)
Fall Threshold to 45 (default 60)
Min. Samples to 120 (default

Re: QMX SSB Vertical lines on VARA waterfall?
Darrell,
Did it only happen this one session or does it happen every time you use your QMX in SSB?

Re: Receiving AM?
The bandwidth of an AM receiver might be 10khz, the QMX strips out all but 3.2khz of that AM signal.
While it is harder to tune in with the QMX, if there are interfering signals within the 10khz AM

Re: PA 50W on RD16HHF1

Nate,
When Allison says a max of 16 volts, she means the power supply into the rig.
Transmitting on 80m with the QMX from a 12v supply into a 50 ohm dummy load can cause
peak voltages of more than 60

I'd appreciate some pointers to guidance on RF circuit design, especially power amplifiers.? Some sort of text book maybe.

Re: QMX+ Mono Audio Output
Dave,
I have an old set of Radio Shack communications headphones that are mono. I use a mono to stereo adapter plug on it and it works fine. It's similar to this

Re: PA 50W on RD16HHF1

Ahhh, so thus 50v divided by 3 or 4.... Giving 12.5-16.6V. Got it.
So it would be OK for 20v IF you had a perfect output load matched to the transistor? Makes sense. Thanks, Gary!

Re: more WSJT-X touble
Martin,
It is a modified version, (improved in some ways?).
Try it if you wish although I would think it best to use the 2.7.0 version if it does what you want.

The RF voltage swing on the drain of the part is nominally twice the DC supply voltage but could go higher with higher load impedances. 3-4 times the DC voltage for the drain breakdown rating is a
