Hi All,
I have a plan to build a QDX-M for 80 metre FSQ activities. The QDX-M appears to be ideal for this with it's clever non SSB method of producing the tones required. However, the web page shop

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

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+.

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.
