Re: Brand Reccomendation for 28AWG wire?
*I strongly suggest, Hans, that you please add a warning in your assembly manuals for builders to deburr their ferrite cores.* I neglected to do and also snapped a wire off T401, never before having

Erratic ADC/IQ sweeps
Hi, Got a QMX on the workbench, and pulled up the terminal emulator window to run diagnostics. I'm currently seeing a great yellow trace on the ADC/IQ sweep that looks normal, but a very very erratic

Re: QMX Mid Band RX issue
Thank you, STAN My QMX symptoms are: < loud noise and (nearly) no real signals when receiving > seem to be very similar. I'm starting to suspect PCM1804. I also carefully checked L401a/b and T401

Re: Automatic Antenna Tuner, Internal Battery with a charger and built-in speaker for QMX+. Open Source.
Egads, reading a thread from you all is like reading a techno-montage from a Doc Smith novel. This thread reminds me of Brandon and Westfall, or Cleveland and Rodebush, or Seaton and Crane, all

Re: Automatic Antenna Tuner, Internal Battery with a charger and built-in speaker for QMX+. Open Source.
I was wrong. ?It was operator error. :( The .zip file is okay too, Sardar. It contains only the original "legacy" .hex file in it, if the correct branch is downloaded! I don't know why github retired

50W PA for 17m
Hi, I have previously built a 50W PA for 40m that has been great. I would like to build another to use with my mid-band QMX with 17m. The 50W PA comes with components for 80, 40, 30, or 20m, but the

Re: Automatic Antenna Tuner, Internal Battery with a charger and built-in speaker for QMX+. Open Source.
I found the problem, Sardar. There are two ATU .hex files in version1.1-beta and they are different (as reported by my "diff" check). This one is up to date:

Re: Automatic Antenna Tuner, Internal Battery with a charger and built-in speaker for QMX+. Open Source.
Yes, that was the entire point of making those markings so the JLCPCB order number if forced to be printed on the back of the PCB. And avoid an additional cost by rejecting the order number imprints.

Re: QMX Mid band - Audio is garbage #qmx #audio #build #cw
Hi Pedro, There may be two issues here; we'll be lucky if it is just one. First we will examine the transmit circuits:? your LPF sweep failure and you 'T' failure in diagnostics point to a problem in

Re: Automatic Antenna Tuner, Internal Battery with a charger and built-in speaker for QMX+. Open Source.
No, I do not think those minor changes should trigger any issues. I would panic let's say, if I had to move around either ATU or J1 connector. Not today though :) Same here. I also have 3 sets of

Re: QMX - RF sweep locks PuTTy and device; unable to receive
For L401, use the A,B,C,D,E test points on pg 42 of the assembly manual, step 8 as described there.? (These are in the section for the high-band version of QMX, but apply also for the mid-band

Re: QMX Mid Band RX issue
The most common receive/audio path issues from kit assembly, that are independent of transmit, are: 1) T401 - the trifilar transformer.? Make sure you matched the pairs properly, and all of the

Re: Automatic Antenna Tuner, Internal Battery with a charger and built-in speaker for QMX+. Open Source.
Thanks for the confirmation Sardar! I have three sets of boards that I purchased that I need to recover, expense-wise. Only the ATU boards are somewhat expensive and the only thing changed is they

Re: QMX - RF sweep locks PuTTy and device; unable to receive
Can you give me a quick continuity test list? I checked them all before assembly, but may have missed one because my test list was incorrect.

Re: QMX - RF sweep locks PuTTy and device; unable to receive
Such receive errors could potentially also come from open or crossed connections on your trifilar transformer T401, or similar issues on L401a/b.?? Open connections on these can creep in if the
