Re: QMX- High Power Output at 12 Volts?
Hey Mike - I wouldn't worry too much about those readings - A lot of people have had similar numbers, see here

Re: QMX- High Power Output at 12 Volts?
Probing around is always something of a risk in that one slip can make your rig toast. That said, looking at the drain waveforms at the BS170 might provide a clue. Specifically the down level which

Re: QMX- High Power Output at 12 Volts?
It's crossed my mind that they might be particulary hot transistors. I don't know the current draw right off hand, nor have we keyed it long enough to notice any heating. We do have a scope.

Ron, Jeffrey: Thanks for the quick reply! Turns out I had the worst kind of solder joint that you can experience. It was nice and shiny, was conductive, but it was high resistance, and it slowly

Re: small fix: QDX manual_1_19.pdf
Hi Muhsin No. The turns in the manual are correct. This has come up several times before. For a given inductance the theoretical number of turns by calculation is a non-integer. But practically

Re: QMX- High Power Output at 12 Volts?
That's quite a puzzle, Mike. I'm wondering if you guys won the lottery on BS170 transistor specs. Threshold voltage at the high end of spec will reduce output power and thresholds at the low end will

Re: QMX- High Power Output at 12 Volts?
Nope, that wasn't it.? He pulled the transformer and dissected it and it was wound right.? He rewound it with new wire and reinstalled it and the transmitter acts the same, too much power.

Re: Suspected faulty rotary encoder QMX Rev 2 80-20m kit build
Nino, Thank you for your response. All buttons work correctly for me, except the left encoder when turned either direction only raises the volume. I updated the firmware again, nothing changed. I am

See if Trip Lite has a length you like, they will come with ferrites on both ends. Not cheap but very well made. My TT 539 is very sensitive to RFI and would do all kinds of bizarre stuff with the

Re: #qmx Low power out on 20m and other issues #qmx
Duh, thanks Mike. Everything looks and works as it should to the dummy load, so I guess that leaves me with RF from the antenna especially on 80m. It's going to be awhile before I get my tuner. I'll

No changes required Rob. Latest versions use the same crystals. You can go all the way up to the latest 1.09a. Good luck ... 73 ... Ron
