HI, I use the ATU-10 om my QDX and no problem after a year of use, I have the QDX at 10Volt and it gives around 4 to 6 watt. My QDX is built for 12v but I had to reduce the voltage because of power

Re: QMX first time power up issue

Re: QMX first time power up issue
Thanks Stan. Here is the screenshot of the main PUTTY diagostics page. I can also confirm that the left and right encoder knobs and the left and right buttons work properly as when I turn or push them

Re: QDX is dead. USB interface nonfunctional. Flummoxed. Help, please.
Oh. Forgot. The unit was built for 12v and the load was a 50 ohm dummy load. I did burn out the finals and replaced them once. It was working perfectly for months before it went dark. I was powering

Re: QMX + manual tuner, SWR protection
I believe QMX has a tuning mode built in that will reduce output power. Curious about your manual switched L-match design; I'm trying to build one. Is yours a binary coded multi-coil or a rotary

Re: Pop Go The QMX+ABS Finals! (Now replaced but still no transmit.)
