Re: #qmx High Noise on all bands, screwy receive and bad diagnostics #qmx
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

Re: #qmx High Noise on all bands, screwy receive and bad diagnostics #qmx
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
I found another parameter that needs adjusted for best performance so im collecting all the info in one post here. QDX + VARA = YES! QMX + VARA = can someone test it out for me? I don't have a

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
