Re: QMX: Kit Build complete - My observations
Hi Bojan
Awesome
Well it was all about romance. Marriage. Of QDX and QCX-mini. For whatever
reason, I was determined to make it all fit in the same enclosure as
QCX-mini. And use through-hole

Hi Kees
Hi hi, bandwidth and expertise? You should ask my family, how often I

Re: CAT port returns ` ` ` on QCXmini
Putty can be configured to wait for carriage return to send message.? Just set "local line editing" and "local echo" to "force on"?in the terminal options.

Re: QMX thoughts
Hans, ok, I understand your point of view.
By win-win I meant a better and less risky MC supply. A bit more mAmps doesn't hurt much either.
GL with your upcomming new challenges.

Thank you, Hans, for your detailed reply.
For my own part, I've been reassured as I measured my 9V QMX build. ?I posted the scope screenshots in the hope of sharing that reassurance with others and

Re: QDX-M on 6 meters?
TNX Ross! That would be really helpful. I have an unbuilt QDX R2 that I
can build up as an M. Just leave out the multiband stuff and go for 6M
I'm trying to get on 6M now with a TenTec 1208

Re: QMX thoughts
Hello Bojan
Operation of the volume control is a known firmware issue I need to
address.
Yes one could have designed it with a single SMPS regulator, at the expense
of higher supply current. Though

Re: CAT port returns ` ` ` on QCXmini
Not to mention that TRUE RS232 levels swing + and - at those higher voltages.? So your 6V RS232 logic is very likely switching between +6V and -6V.
There is a good explanation here:

QMX thoughts
Hi Hans,
I see my QMX as a very well thought out rig. Works nice. FT8 and CW. I built it for +12V.
But the "too" small PCB means there is no place for an additional dedicated GPS connector for

Re: BS170 Fail
Has anyone tried replacing the switch with a relay and worked out a "tune button" (or tune output) that would pull this into the circuit for ## seconds, then release it?
It seems this kind of thing

Re: QMX - sockets for BS170s
The sockets work out great on the QDX. I'm about to try them on a QMX so can't say how that works. Space may be tight.
