Re: Dreaded dead transmit from SSB Calibration routine
Ludwig, I see. Well I decided to send it off to Jeff (W1NC) to have it fixed. If it comes back working, I will NOT be doing the SSB calibration again, that¡¯s for sure. Thank you for your input. Much

Re: New QMX+ Calibration victim
Hi Ludwig, Thanks for the link. It seems the LPF selection works fine, as voltages are like in the document also for the bands without any significant output power. However it seems that even though

Pacific Antenna mic kit works great!
I just built a Pacific Antenna mic kit for my QMX+ and it works great!! If you need a mic for your QRP-Labs transceiver kits I would look at this unit. Very simple to build and inexpensive. 73/GL

Re: QMX SWR measurement is not correct while using with PA
Plenty of PA's have inputs nowhere close to? 50 ohms resistive.? ? ?What does the nanovna see looking into the PA ( for interest as impedance will likely change markedly? with input power level )

SSB Cal problems with QMX (not +)
I have been running firmware 1_02_000 on my QMX+ with good results on CW and SSB (haven't tried Digi yet) since the release of that firmware. So yesterday, I updated my original QMX with 1_02. The

Re: QMX receiver went deaf
Ludwig, Q508 was checked based on the values you gave and did not show any issues.? I did not check d516.? The failure may have occurred from severe rf feed back as right before failure I had qmx

Re: Dreaded dead transmit from SSB Calibration routine
Robert, this would be wrong. There are rectangular pulses with 0 V for low and 5 V for high and duty cycle 50 %. Your DMM should read the mean value of 2.5 V. If realy 3 V IC503 could be wrong. This

Re: QMX SWR measurement is not correct while using with PA
Hi Sergey, It all depends on the design of the PA. Normally you won't use SWR protection in your transceiver if a PA is attached and working. Only if the PA is in pass-tru mode it could make sense.

Hello Ludwig and Michael, I followed your advice; IC503 is OK. After testing several ICs, I decided to unsolder the CPU, and now I have no shortcuts between VDD and VSS on the board. The CPU was

Re: QMX receiver went deaf
Ryan, good to know your QMX is back. Yes, that's my plan to put more information for debugging in the Wiki. Some steps are done. It's a question of time and energy to write more. Did you check Q508
