Re: QMX+ SSB audio distorted on one band only
I think it will be different for each QMX.? It may be associated with LPF parasitic issues or whatever.? I have no real clue why/how these settings affect the calibration.
But please everyone, read

Re: QMX+ SSB audio distorted on one band only
Hi Dan,
Should we be adjust band parameter just so that we can get a complete configuration run?
Because we cant get a complete configuration run, does that not signify that something is not quite

Re: QMX+ SSB audio distorted on one band only
I could only get calibration on 80m to get beyond ~20% by using all the configuration parameters from the 40m band configuration for the 80m band, both frequencies and LPF.? Still required a lot of

Re: QMX+ SSB audio distorted on one band only
I would expect they would look the same, I'm just wondering if the predistortion curve is related to the peak amplitudes permitted by the LPFs. Maybe moving the band edges and centers to center on the

Re: QMX+ SSB audio distorted on one band only
I had a quick look at the 20M LPF curve and it looked the same. I didn't examine it carefully though.

Re: QMX+ SSB audio distorted on one band only
I'm wondering if there is a correlation between the band edges and centers settings improving the curves and the actual LPF peaks.

Re: QMX+ Strange Audio Artifact - Help, Please...
Hi Jeff,
I was afraid of that. While I do have an o-scope and could take readings, it would be an exercise in futility for me. Should the issue turn out to be one of those sub-microscopic components

Re: QMX+ loses audio.
What’s the version of your wsjt-x and is it on macOS? I noticed a weird bug that wsjt-x v2.7.0 on macOS can deafen qmx every time it transmits or changes the band. Entering the menu then exit

Re: Board revision
While seems likely you may get version 3, building from a screen works nicely. Just starting my qmx plus build now. Plenty of room on small surface for my screen, kit and tools. It's actually easier

Re: Enclosure wrong size
Hey Dudley,
The capacitors are trained to hide in the knobs on these kits. Look in the cavity where the shaft goes. I have three of the QMX series kits and have experienced capacitors in the shaft

Re: QDX Transmit Power Drops
Hi Doug,
I agree with Nate that the symptom you describe is not normal.? My guess is that the BS170s are getting warm.? The resistance of a MOSFET increases as the temperature rises, reducing the

Re: QDX Transmit Power Drops
Doug, that's not normal, no.? I'm not sure what to point to, though. Something impacted by current...... so could be T1, L14, or BS170 soldering faults? I suppose if something in the LPF was heating

Hi,
I've just ordered a QMX+. I want to print the assembly manual out. I'm assuming it'll be a Rev 3 PCB but I'm wondering if I should wait until the kit arrives to be sure and not 'waste' paper and

Re: QMX+ SSB audio distorted on one band only
Update.
After a lot of fiddling with the 20m band edges I ended up with this:
Which leads to this:
Which seems to have cured the distortion.
I have no understanding of what the frequency numbers

Where is D110 on the qmx board? I can try to check its state.

Re: QMX+ high pitch noise on power. Now dead.
I turned it off with the QMX power switch. Earlier today it was exposed to
more voltage for a short period of time but it was still working fine after
that. I'm not very good at reading schematics but
