Re: PuTTY on other radios
One tricky thing is that some radios won't easily accept CAT commands that
are typed by hand into a terminal program. They require that the commands
be sent in a single burst with no pauses between

Re: PuTTY on other radios
Hi Karl
On the IC-7300 yes. When properly attached to a PC you will see an audio codec (sound card) and 2 serial ports. eg comx under Windows and something like /dev/ttyUSBx or /dev/ttyACMx under

Re: Hole Clogged
Stop right now. I recommend you go to Amazon and order some low melt
solder, fine solder wick, and some solder paste. Search on ChipQuik to get
started. You are not going to get anywhere good

Re: New QMX Rev3 build - no power out...

Re: Hole Clogged
John, a quicker solution that doesn¡¯t risk damaging the board is to simply
solder that particular lead to the top side of the board and let the
plated-thru hole take the connection all the way

Re: Hole Clogged
Solder suckers work, de-solder braid works
Tinning the leads of the new component, heating the PCB and stabbing the component leads one cat a time into the hole is also under-rated for coils etc

Re: QMX kind of deaf?
Here is a quick comparison of the waterfall in WSJT-X on 20m today with the QMX and my QDX.? The QMX wasn't picking up any european stations, but the QDX saw a lot.? This is the only overlapping

Re: Hole Clogged
John,
First off do not drill the hole out as you may remove a connection from one copper layer to another on the board. (Connections are internal.)? I don't know what soldering tools you have but I

Re: Hole Clogged
John,
What I use is a combination of liquid flux (not acidic), desoldering tape, a needle (preferably stainless steel so it does not stick to the solder) and a solder sucker.
It may need several

Hole Clogged
I'm building a QMX and I'm not very experienced with this sort of thing.
After I soldered in the L401 inductor, it did not pass the continuity tests - so I decided to remove and re-wrap the toroid.

Re: QMX Rev3 Board Transformer Continuity Issue
Hi Bryan,
In addition to Greg's checks, verify that you do not have a solder bridge around the BS170s or L502.? There is a construction issue somewhere around the PA section.

Re: QMX Rev3 Board Transformer Continuity Issue
Nope. The A to B test should be open, no continuity between them.Double check that the windings are correct and the right wires are in the right holes.

The supply listed is adequate based on the supplied power, according to the specification.? It may be noisy as it is a switcher, but otherwise, it should not cause the QMX to drop
