Re: Qmx plus rev 2 not powering up
Thanks again Ludwig,
The Voltage at the Drain Q101 (Gate Q102) is 9.7v, the voltage at Gate Q101 is 2.6v, source Q101 is 0V and the voltage at Source Q102 is nearly 12v and at Drain Q102 is 0V (With

Re: LIVE: SOTA+ is trying to do SSB on 10 GHz with a QMX
Check out the channel today. Looks like Hans has some serious competition.

Re: Help with QMX+ on CW
Braden, but you may see exactely this. Please read Operating manual section 5.16 Display/controls menu.
And if you are in over voltage protection the displayed value is blinking.

Re: Qmx plus rev 2 not powering up
To be right, there was an error in my previous post. If the controller doesn't work the gate of Q101 is pulled to (or near) the voltage at "+12V", not only 50 %.

Re: Help with QMX+ on CW
Stan, turns out it was the voltage protection. So, thank you. I sure wish the voltage readout on the radio had one more digit to show voltage to tenths of a voltage, as other QRP rigs do.
I've heard

Re: Qmx plus rev 2 not powering up
Azgael, if not alredy done please remove the black wire.
At least from 2 V up at gate of Q101 the voltage at drain should be near 0 V. You see 2.6 V at the gate, enough.
Please check voltage at drain

Re: Qmx plus rev 2 not powering up
Dear Stan
Now makes more sense this all thing.
Basically I do have continuity between the drain of Q102 and In of IC101, NO ISSUE on the Via as you and Ludwig mentioned.
Further debugging, I measure

Re: Max Voltage for QMX 9V
Thanks, Allision, for the definitive answer here. I've been using a buck converter to run my QMX off a 12V battery. I was hoping to come up with a ~9V LiFePO4 battery so that I can remove the buck

Re: Something new happened on the QMX receive audio doesn’t blank when mic is pressed.
So tonight I did a reset and calibration and the problem is gone. It was actually gone after performing the reset and a power cycle. Interesting thought on the power possibility. I was running it on a

Re: Something new happened on the QMX receive audio doesn’t blank when mic is pressed.
Something like that happened to me when my battery got close to the end. Seems that at the initial key down there’s a power drain beyond my limits. Changing batteries fixed the problem. I was

Has anyone else seen an issue where the receive audio stays on during transmit? I noticed it today. It happened on all bands and when I key the mic the receiver audio doesn’t blank. It’s not

QRM identification
Can anyone recognise qrm in attached picture?
Signals are spaced around 40khz.
It shows up randomly, no specific time patern so its hard to pinpoint the source.
