Re: Qmx damage from fedex
I received a rev. 1 kit a couple of weeks ago right before the change over and it had handling damage. To my best recollection, each board was in its own envelope. C213 & R214 were knocked off and the

Mark,
This is the problem, not enough audio. Nothing else causes the flashing.
It seems a regular fault with Rpi, and non-PC systems.

Re: u4b not transmitting
Hi John, thanks for confirming the command.
This is a friend's u4b, that should have been working.

Hello All,

Re: Still no output on QMX
Well, I guess I wasn't careful enough. I broke the lead off the Q507. I'll be back after I get a new one installed. Thank you so much for helping me through this point. I'm confident we'll figure this

Re: QDX and QMX+ (soon at least) what is the max safe swr?
This tuner has no bypass.? My antenna is in the neighborhood of 1.3:1 without, I think on both 40 and 20.? Just wondering how far I can push it.

Re: Assembled qcx-mini 20m
There might be several possibilities...
* The QMX uses a 12kHz IF (and there's no RF amp to isolate the mixer)
so you could be hearing the local oscillator... (if this were the

Re: QDX and QMX+ (soon at least) what is the max safe swr?
Sometimes the length of coax you are using will do this.? I recently made a 49:1 for an end-fed half wave and installed the antenna.? I couldn't get it to dip anywhere at all.? I checked the coax

Re: QMX High Current draw on assembly.

I actually misread my PSU's current meter. When a DMM is put in series it matches what the PSU is saying. Around 1.3A, but I couldn't feel a whole amp of heat being dissipated anywhere. I removed all

Re: Still no output on QMX
If I read the tester display right, Q507 seems to be ok. But why is the voltage at G the same as at S?
Please check schematics and trace from gate of Q507 to R506 and collector of Q514. Check voltage

Re: Still no output on QMX
I will order and replace Q507. But before I do that, I wanted to test it first. I carefully lifted the gate and the source off the board and tested it. The results are below.
