Re: QMX build troubleshooting
L502 has continuity to ground. I've removed the finals too. The short is still there on 12v.

Re: QMX build troubleshooting
Before unsoldering L502 check if it has continuity to ground, if it doesn¡¯t, the fault isn¡¯t in the PA or modulator.

Re: QMX build troubleshooting
It is probably easier to unsolder one end of L502 and checking, before leaping in to unsolder the finals. Check the board carefully for any solder whiskers.

Re: FT8CN Getting it to Work!
Hi
I modified my QDXs so they can work with 5 Volts from the USB of PC, tablet or phone.
With FT8CN now I can run a minimum system from my phone/tablet

Re: 3D model of QMX+? - To 3D print front and rear covers
It's not a model per se, but did you notice the "Enclosure engineering drawings" on the info page about the QMX+ (https://qrp-labs.com/qmxp.html)? I would imagine they would give you the information

Re: QMX build troubleshooting
Oh, my. Then you're going to spending time on the main board. Lots of places to look. I'm sorry.
Something easy - just unsolder the finals. After that, if the short is still there, it's a matter of

Re: QMX build troubleshooting
Wow, that's not good. And if you unplug each power supply one at a time? Need to find out which one is blown. They both have the +12vdc going to them.

Re: Power out on 60 mtr QCX+

Re: QMX build troubleshooting
Lift one side of it. If the rig powers up, that's your problem.
It's an easy check, but make SURE your voltage is under 12 volts in.
If your supply surges, it will blow the 3.3 volt regulator.

Check D109 on plug-in PCB #2, the 3.3 volt regulator.

Re: QDX-M 80m
#80m
Hello Richard
My original aim for the QDX-M was to make versions for 160, 630 and 2200m,
which are not suitable for the QDX because of the difficulties with PIN
diode switching such low frequencies.

Re: QMX build troubleshooting
In firmware update mode only the linear 3.3v regulator is being used, there is no 5v rail and the buck converter regulators are not being used. See this article in the wiki for start up
