Re: QMX - Any progress on key clicks please?
I¡¯ll post my settings later today, but want to say I definitely have the clicks. In the ARRL DX contest I noticed that the clicks were noticeably worse when there were multiple signals in the rx

Re: QMX - Any progress on key clicks please?
Here's my observations on a QMX Rev 1 (80m-20m) and 1_00_017 firmware: I keep AGC enabled. I no longer hear the old objectionable thumps I used to hear at the end of a dit or dah. I do hear key

Re: QCX mini 30m Rev.2 Stray capacitance?
Ron, I checked continuity to ground all the way from the solder joint of the ground end if the volume pot and pins 5 and 7 to the ground pad on the main board. I did it in stages by checking the

Re: QMX - Any progress on key clicks please?
Thanks Hans, That is helpful, I thought from what i had seen that most of us had issues, so my apologies if I have that wrong. I hope someone can do as you ask and then I will do the same and we can

Re: QMX - Any progress on key clicks please?
Hello Daimon There are a lot of people using it WITHOUT these issues with key-clicks. So there's a bit of a mystery here. Could someone happy with QMX performance on CW without key-clicks please post

The main LPF function is to cut 1st and subsequential harmonics while maintaining as low as possible losses on band in question. So adjusting *only for max power* (lowest losses on the band) you can

QMX - Any progress on key clicks please?
Hi Hans, My QMX is a year old in two months time, and for most of that time it has been unusable on CW for my style of operating (extra dits and dahs mainly the issue, as I am mostly a 20-25 wpm

Ps. If you have a VNA /antenna analyser that can be set to continuous mode you¡¯ve got a low power signal generator already

Re: #qmx #firmware 1_00_015 release #qmx #firmware
If experience with QDX is relevant also for the QMX, then in addition to burnt PA transistors, the IC that drives them may also be destroyed. That happened to

Martin, I am not the expert, but I agree that the PCM1804 is the most likely problem. 73 Evan AC9TU

Re: #qmx High Noise on all bands, screwy receive and bad diagnostics #qmx
Evan, I had already checked, but I doubled checked just now the PCM1804 connections under the inspection microscope.? Each pin got a fine point soldering iron touch to get a good fillet, and a poke

Re: #qmx High Noise on all bands, screwy receive and bad diagnostics #qmx
Martin, I have read one post where a lead was not soldered correctly on one of the large ICs.? It might be a good idea to check the pins of IC407 for soldering mistakes from the

Re: #qmx High Noise on all bands, screwy receive and bad diagnostics #qmx
So here's what I've got so far.? I'm going to see if I can attach a bunch of pictures for all the diagnostics I've done, but it's looking more and more like the PCM1804 is bad.? Here's the kicker

QDX/QMX VARA settings and Winlink

Re: QMX and fldigi, VARA? #qmx #fldigi #VARA
This is not correct The QDX (and im assuming the QMX supports the same FSK system) WILL DO VARA THE QDX WILL DO VARA!! The caveat is it can only transmit speeds 1-3 (500hz) and 1-4 (2300/2750hz) I

Re: #qmx #firmware 1_00_015 release #qmx #firmware
QMX only appears as a flash drive when it's in update mode... Are you saying that you put it into update mode, and you can't see a flash drive?

Hi Greg, Here is what I would do: 1) check all the caps in the lpf section - make sure you installed the correct values in the right places. 2) double check the turns on each toroid 3) if all above
