Thanks for sharing these details, John! How clumsy is it to operate via a phone screen? Workable for a POTA/SOTA event?

I just used an inexpensive MAX9814 Arduino mic amplifier module, which I also happen to have in my junk box.

Re: CW Practice / Rag Chew
I wouldn't describe a K of 5 as good. A figure of 1 or 2 is much better. The lower bands eg 40m may be very difficult to use at a K of 5. Digital will stand the best chance of getting through on these

I think a mic preamp perhaps on a daughter board with special consideration to low noise components, good equalization, layout and filters, and a low impedance output to feed the QMX

The headset has a electret mic. I didn't measure the resistance. It sounded perfectly adequate when I used it on my pc.
Hower, the output from the mic seems too low using it with my QMX+.

I'd be interested in a group buy if and when it happens.

Randy, something is strange. Early you wrote VDD is produced by the linear regulator. LIN_REG_EN must show some volts to connect IC101 to "+12V" via Q102. Your schematic shows 0V at LIN_REG_EN.
