Re: QMX+ rev 3 freezes shortly after boot
Also do you have the internal GPS? if so unplug it.
Also is it in a case? If so remove it.

Re: QMX+ rev 3 freezes shortly after boot
Michael, where did you connect the GND probe of your Meter to the QMX GND?
3 V ... 3.3 V would be ok. This signal comes direct from a controller I/O-pin and the controller runs from VDD 3.3 V. 4 V is

Re: QMX+ rev 3 freezes shortly after boot
Also replug the front panel and look at the display connection and while it's out check for a tiny bridge or a whisker that may be in there. That will answer a lot of questions before real assistance

Re: QMX+ rev 3 freezes shortly after boot
Alright, did the reset, correctly selected the QMX+ version from initial selection, and had about 2 minutes of solid listening time to a QSO on 20m. Thought maybe the reset was going to fix it until I

Re: QMX+ rev 3 freezes shortly after boot
Just tried it - the board gave me enough uptime that I could send a few dahs. It looks like I'm barely putting out any power, but I did see the FWD meter on my ATU bump a little bit. I didn't wait

Re: QMX+ rev 3 freezes shortly after boot
Also is there time to do a reset before the pro analysts see this post? That will give you a headstart! I did notice a little quirky behavior on mine, right after I first powered it up.

Re: QMX+ rev 3 freezes shortly after boot
Do you have enough time to transmit into a dummy load on 20?? Does it kick out, immediately?

Re: Tone or birdie every 500 Hz in USB mode
That pulsing signal like CW is what I get too, so I don't think it's external. It doesn't change with tuning, so it seems like something getting injected into the audio.

Re: QMX+ rev 3 freezes shortly after boot
Hi George,
The 12V power source is a 6000mAh Talentcell rechargeable battery. To connect power to the radio, I'm using the included DC plug that I got as part of my kit, which I've joined to one of

Re: Tone or birdie every 500 Hz in USB mode
I think it can be corrected with filters or settings somehow. When I change to DIGI mode on the QMX, a lot of these noises disappear. In the image below, the bottom portion was DIGI, the top portion

QMX+ rev 3 freezes shortly after boot
Hey all! Got my QMX+ rev 3 last week and have had a blast assembling it over the past few days. Finished it last night, booted just fine, and was able to tune some CW on 10m with a big grin on my face

Re: Help with QMX+ on CW
An advantage of diodes is that they are a simple 'linear' solution, but yes, as others have noted, they will generate heat.? Each diode drops about 0.6V, and during transmit the radio consumes less
