Re: QMX bugs

Re: QDX Temperature: 4 watts at 8V vs 4 watts at 12V
Glen, Bob, I have a similar setup with a 7809 (1.5A) bolted to the upper case. It dissipates some heat, but not excessively so. Biggest heat comes from the QDX - finals or transformer - so I put a fan

Re: QMX Fail on power up
Dan, I think the failure scenario went something like this: On power-up, after handoff from the 3.3 v linear regulator to the buck converter, a disturbance on the power input, or a rapid continuing

Re: QMX Fail on power up
Agreed, John. Original part is also a 6.3 V tantalum, so replacing it would be an identical swap. Whether that was the original failure or not, I think it's failure fried more than the obvious parts

Re: Status of High Bands QMX?
Hi Hans, How about the All band (HF 80m-10m) QMX transceiver? In a bigger housing, extended band switching, a separate GPS input maybe or even a GPS plug-in... Quite a challenge... 73 Bojan S53DZ

Re: #QMX #firmware 1_00_007 #qmx #firmware
Hello Simon There is no AGC yet. And the S-meter is not related to the AGC in this case. The S-meter was just implemented based on QCX and is not correct for QMX, so I have disabled it temporarily;

Re: #QMX #firmware 1_00_007 #qmx #firmware
Hi Manuel, That I understood. My question was more about whether the not yet activated AGC/S-meter could have something to do with it. I also wanted to point out that CW operation (for me) is not

Re: Status of High Bands QMX?
Hi Scott 1) We will provide a conversion kit, the same way we have for the QDX see http://shop.qrp-labs.com/SPAREPARTS/qdxhi 2) The changes compared to the existing 80-20m QMX kit are just

Status of High Bands QMX?
Hi,? Quick question for Hans.? Looking in crystal ball, will a future high bands QMX likely be just a conversion kit for the current low bands model, or a major overhaul of low bands kit?? Also, do

Re: QMX T507 winding
If one winding is wound different to what the designer intended, then the "forward" and "reverse" sensing of the reflectometer will be reversed.? Hans could provide a configuration parameter to cope

Re: QMX Fail on power up
My concern, Dan, is that replacing the cap with a sturdier cap without understanding and correcting why it failed in the first place may just move the next failure to another, and costlier, place. As

Re: QDX Temperature: 4 watts at 8V vs 4 watts at 12V
I have the same setup with my qdx. The 7809 is inside the qdx stock enclosure. The 7809 tab is bolted to the qdx case for a heat sink. 73 Glenn VE9GJ

Re: #QMX I roasted my QMX, do not repeat my mistake #qmx
I was wrong, but now: I see! it was not a *qst* idea, but one from CQ Magazine: CQ March 2015 QRP Special Page 18: Behold Rockmitey , de ED Cobb *K4YF* R es Ray Kauffman *AJ4YN*. A memorable piece

Re: QMX Fail on power up
John, Maybe I should drag my feet. Hard to do. We'll see. Next step is checking for resistance of 3.3 V bus. Waiting on micro clips to test things out. -- 73, Dan? NM3A

Re: #QMX #firmware 1_00_007 #qmx #firmware
I?m not Hans, but I asked him in private about AGC: AGC is not yet implemented. Neither is SWR Meter. I?ll quote Hans directly: "Firmware is getting there, bit by bit" 73 Manuel; DL2MAN

Re: QMX died in first test run
The Lab Power Supply was a very early investment in the uSDX / (tr)uSDX development path, and it paid for itself multiple times..... If you?re a maker, you need one. Can?t put enough emphasis on

Re: QMX died in first test run
Hi Dan, I?m not 100% sure, what was the cause in my case, so I can only guess. But I would look at the real obvious stuff: - I?ve shortened some of the display wires and gave them another touch

Re: QMX Fail on power up
Maybe you should drag your feet a little bit on this repair until more is understood about root cause and corrective action. JZ

Re: QMX Fail on power up
Dan, that may be a little too close for comfort. Ten volt 220uF tantalums are available in the same package size. Stack two? Put one on the PS board, one somewhere else on the 5V
