Re: QMX bugs
I believe Hans knows about these but.
1. volume control is erratic.
2. monitor volume can not be adjusted. I reduced the 99 to 17 but volume stays loud.

Re: QMX bugs
If I can add one more bug to the list, please.
On the QMX the RF Sweep usually works after a hard reset, but after that it will hand on the 40M band. I can run the other bands, but not 40M. Not a big

Re: New assembled High Bands QDX went into smoke
Evan is correct on all his points. I will add a bit more.
