Re: QMX only hearing static
I’ve looked at those voltages and IC403 pin2 to ground shows 0.015V and pin 14 to ground shows 0V
on IC405 all the voltages line up with what you’re saying they should be but on IC406 I’m

Anyway, I wanted to replace the diode that I have been using for the Rev 2 board modification with a smaller diode.? I replaced

Re: QMX

That's interesting. I feel the opposite about my QCX Mini compared to the QMX. The QMX Mini receiver sounds better to my ears. Maybe once Hans gets around to eliminating all the SMPS-induced birdies,

Re: QCX-mini Blown IC?
Hi Scott. That usually happens when you install a blank IC2 without the
EEPROM file loaded. I suspect something happened to IC2 when it was
shorted. The easiest fix is to order a new firmware chip

Re: QMX

The other factor in all of this is the plastic package design. The heat sink practice for those other styles won't necessarily work here. The qmx design takes all this into account. Many cw qrp

Re: QMX

A number of examples have shown BS170s blown apart.
But is that due to overheating in service or a result of a high voltage causing one to short THEN blow?

So, as a bit more information (not all of it, obviously as you need to be security cleared for that!) I was thinking more of mainly increasing the thermal mass a little and perhaps trying to couple it

Re: QMX+ with WA3TFS amplifier
Very interesting, Jim ! I believe you meant Q4 and not T1, that is the base of the ‘3904.
And so removing C1 is also advised (or lifting one leg). I believe there are 1/8” jacks that can be wired

Hi all,
My Dad just finished his QMX-mini build and after adjustments,(before casing) accidentally laid it on a spiral notebook and shorted something out. Now he gets the message “Use original

Re: QMX+: Hearing a tone only when LSB is selected
Don,
I've gone back to 027, but when I was experimenting with the 003 beta, I could hear a tone on 12 meters the strongest, then 11 meters, 10 meters not as strong because the noise level is higher,
