Re: New QMX+ Inductor damage question
Hi Bruce,
This is a fairly common issue. I've had a few kits arrive with exactly the same damage. If the wires are intact and connected to the board, it should be OK.

New QMX+ Inductor damage question
I just received my QMX+.? The shipping box and materials all arrived in good condition.? This appears the part was damaged either before installed or before the boards were sent to QRPLABS.

Re: #qmx #SSB Firmware beta 1_01_003 release

As a positive conclusion I have found that VarAC with its 500Hz bandwidth paired with the QMX and QCX 50W amp running at 13.8V (amp) gives a good 10W out on this digital mode.? Was able to

Not the BAMAtech case, but W4MHZ has a 3D printed case design for the original QCX.? He posted recently that he could revive the design and print more cases if needed by anyone.? If you don't

Re: QMX only hearing static
I think this is not so typical. It would mean
* IC403 is broken or
* IC204 is (half) dead or
* IC406 is broken (low probability).
For a broken IC403 I had expected the voltage at pin 7 and / or pin

Re: What do I check when QMX transmit stops working?
My QMX transmit is broken with or without the amp
Settings are (and were) as per your notes (transmit & 5V PTT enabled for each band).
I have no idea why or how the amp killed the QMX since it works

Jamie, we are both correct!? There are at least 2 versions of the schematic, one uses Q4 and one uses T1.

Re: I think I broke my QMX...
I suggest only troubleshooting this with no DC applied. Use ohmmeter.
See if L503 has continuity. If yes, it is likely okay. See then if you shorted something else.

Re: QMX only hearing static
I¡¯ve looked at those voltages and IC403 pin2 to ground shows 0.015V and pin 14 to ground shows 0V
on IC405 all the voltages line up with what you¡¯re saying they should be but on IC406 I¡¯m

I forgot the first rule of radios - if something works, don't fix it.
Anyway, I wanted to replace the diode that I have been using for the Rev 2 board modification with a smaller diode.? I replaced

That's interesting. I feel the opposite about my QCX Mini compared to the QMX. The QMX Mini receiver sounds better to my ears. Maybe once Hans gets around to eliminating all the SMPS-induced birdies,
