Re: Max Voltage for QMX 9V
Most of the noise produced by these converters is below 5 MHz. Very little at all is produced above 7 MHz.

Re: Max Voltage for QMX 9V
Evan:
Will this cause additional interference due to the use of such buck/boost converter?
I like this solution but I'm concerned about the additional noise and birdies when RX.
I would be grateful

Re: Qmx plus rev 2 not powering up
Finally success following the power pad did help. Surprisingly enough there seams to be a broken via or track connecting source of q102 to ic101 to input. ?Now I am a bit concerned with other issues

Re: I just ordered a QCX+ kit
Good luck with your QCX+. You do need good eyesight and a magnifying glass
to identify the parts. I built my QMX and QMX+ at eighty. They are great
kits. I have made several SSB contacts with good

Re: Max Voltage for QMX 9V
Pierre,
I have found that using a buck/boost converter when connected to batteries is better.? That allows constant voltage to the QMX until the batteries can not supply

sound from the PC and QMX+
When I have the QMX+ set up for WSJT-X I have to select the QMX for Audio in and out.? Now I don't have the sound from the Pc any more. Is there a way to have both?

Re: Available Hand Mics for QMX SSB ?
I used a Baofeng microphone in which I put a new 50 ohm, 1W speaker and a new microphone capsule. I am surprised how good and loud it sounds in the new speaker without any amplifier. I removed the

Hi Gary,
Mine is the same. I can't get it to complete on any band. I have spent several hours messing with band edge and center frequencies. It didn't seem to make any difference at all.

Also inspect carefully the interconnect of the LIN_REG_EN signal fromthe smps card to the main board, ensuring nothing there is pulling it down.

Re: Max Voltage for QMX 9V
I think the issue is that 12V pushes the voltage rating on the BS170's, and the increased current at 9V for the same power, ends up pushing the current rating of the parts.

QMX+ in CQWW SSB
I just finished playing in the CQ World Wide SSB contest! My setup included the QMX+ (firmware 1_01_003) and a 3-el yagi at 15 metres above ground.
The QMX+ performed beautifully. I made 118 contacts

Re: QMX+ high pitch noise on power. Now dead.
That was it!!! Do you have any spare diodes to replace it with? I don't
have any and I don't want to run it without.
