New QMX Midband built

QMX+ Displayed Voltage Low
Got my QMX+ up and running today. The unit is configured for 12 volt operation and I have

Thanks Hans. One other note of possible interest. When Message 2 completes, it immediately begins Message 1 with the digit "8", then sends Message 1, which in my case is my call: N7RCS. All my other

Re: QMX WSPR Question
Sorry, figured it out: I was in practice mode in CW, thus the P and no RF output.

Re: QMX mid band 60m reassignment
The 60m band is not available in VK so similar "waste" here.
Replacing it with 80m would work, receiver performance should be ok.
But you would need to check the LPF as it may not have enough harmonic

QMX mid band 60m reassignment
Just ordered a mid band 60 - 15m
As I'm just a lowly intermediate license holder and therefore not allowed on 60m it'll be an entirely wasted band.
Can I resign that filter for anything else ??

Re: Issues with QCX+ kit
I don't think the display issue is relevant to this unless you are having
display troubles too.
What is relevant though is that a low level signal from the internal
generator used for those alignment

Your guidance was spot on!

Re: QMX+ Build Report and Low Power Question on 40m and 30m
Just to add a question. There's obviously reduced flow here, or something's not right anyway, should I refrain from any sort of transmitting on 40m while it's well below 3W? I assume anything from

Re: QMX+ Build Report and Low Power Question on 40m and 30m
Up to 1.6W on 40m and 0.75W on 30m now. Resoldered and jiggled about the windings. I think next step is taking them out completely and just really tightening up the turns. The fact that doing that and

Re: QMX Message Repeat

Interesting - I can't comment on the message behavior of your rig, but I have message 1 and message 2 populated and set to an interval 4 seconds, repeat 0 (ie infinite until button 2 pressed).
