Check that there is no short in this circled location.? Also, this IC is a little skewed to the right, make sure all of its pins are nicely connected to the pads.
This is the most likely area of

Hello all,
I have a 40m qcx+ and a qlg1, both working great together on wspr for several years now. Well, that until I went ahead and put my qlg1 in a new enclosure, on top of that I removed the 3mm

If you would like to try signal tracing
Here is a? very nice PC soundcard oscilloscope for win XP and above
As you know surface mount components are packed tight
Be careful probing

Re: QMX and SSB -- how?
Yes, but in the RF domain you need frequency and amplitude.

Voltage on C406 is 2.42V so I guess its correct. Just in case I will rewind T401 trifilar transformer in case there is a shortage inside winding.

Re: FT8 for U3?
Hi John,
From research undertaken seems that WSPR on upper VHF bands for DX propagation is not very effective. Have found more than one study / paper that arrives at the same conclusion.

Re: QMX and SSB -- how?
Excepting xtal filter group delay params.
That's why SSB always has that SSB sound, unless you're using a DC RX ;-)

Re: QMX and SSB -- how?
Surely this just amounts to creating? at any given point in time only one sampled frequency
and then switching to another fast enough in order to give the effect of two or more
simultaneous tones

Well I have tried all the suggestions, quadruple checked the solder joints. There is NO sound other then the initial click at power up. It will work fine on Ft8. With FLdigi I can decode CW. The

Re: FT8 for U3?
Useful for probing short timescale propagation. WSPR needs 2 min, FT8 15 sec.? Sporadic-E often fades very quickly :-(? Tropo is more likely to support WSPR.
FT4 as well !?? (might also catch some

Re: QMX and SSB -- how?
If Q507 is being driven linearly then I hope it has good heat sinking. I would have thought that in order to keep the efficiency benefits if class E you'd want to switch the uc pin driving that

Re: #QMX FT8 Signal to noise remarkably good.

My totally uninformed guess is that it might come down to being an advantage of the Tayloe mixer used in the QMX over the RF sampling ADC used in the 7300.

Chris,
Maybe the QMX is simply better.
But I would carry out an extended test simultaneously on one antenna with a splitter.
I've done that many times using WSPR. Even then I find results are not
