Re: #qdxm QDX-M - new single-band version of QDX available
#qdxm
Hi,
I made my mono a dual band QMX-M: 12m and 10m. I have set my QMX-M for High bands instead for Mono band so I got settings for all 5 bands from 20m to 10m in the setup menu.
I suppose you could do

Mordan42,
Hans sells BS170s in his component area:
https://shop.qrp-labs.com/components/Transistors
Those would be the same as the ones supplied with the kit.

High insertion loss / early rolloff 6m LPF
I've assembled and tested the LPF kit from 160m to 6m. All the filters work
as expected without adjustment except 6m.
The 6m filter starts to roll off very early and has a high loss in the 6m
band

Hello Nate
The firmware doesn't have defaults set up yet for all those other bands. So
you would need to set up the band you want, manually, in the terminal.

Re: QMX Band Pass Filter (and Band pass filters in general) question
Hans ,? Jonathan says? -? "I am not even sure if a single resonant band pass filter is the best option for my use.."
This has some ambiguity? - does it mean a single resonant cct, one per band. ?

Mordan42,
How is it doing on receive?
Check C510 and C526 to see if they are damaged. If either have cracked or
have been overstressed by high RF current, output power will be very low.

Digikey has BS170s in stock for 0.59 each. ? By 10 and then you will have spares.

Congrats on successful surgery! I second the suggestion to add an L14 diode to protect against a possible failure mode that sounds consistent with what you described. Other than the L14 voltage, I

Hello all! I have a QMX rev. 1 low band that has faithfully served me on 19 POTA activations, almost 1,000 QSOs and, recently, I was successfully using for my first 4 JS8Call contacts. After using it

Re: Low Band QMX Spectrum analyzer measurments
Thanks Ron,
I reckoned that if the manufacturer wrote the maximum limit on the front of the analyser that was what it would cope with. I'm running about half that power.
I've got a home made

Re: QMX Feature Request - field “tune” mode
The aggressiveness with which the QMX swr protection kicks in gives me the confidence that I can present some pretty horrendous mismatches at the RF port and finals will be fine.

The N7VE is an *absorptive* bridge, so it is *not* the same thing. ?Power is intentionally dissapated while never allowing the transmitter to see greater than a 2:1 SWR no matter

To that I'd look at https://blog.radioartisan.com/arduino-cw-keyer/
its a Arduino based keyer that's feature loaded and open source.

Re: Low Band QMX Spectrum analyzer measurments
Chris, you technically don't meet the -43 dBc requirement for harmonics on
your 80 meter reading. However, I would suggest you add some more
attenuation in the path to the SA. At +15 dBm currently,
