Re: QMX RF sweeps

Re: QMX Poor contrast with backlight on
Oddly this seems to have worked itself out. Backlight contrast was horrible the first day or two of use. I just turned backlight back on and it seems to be good now. Not sure what changed.

QMX Poor contrast with backlight on
With the backlight on, I can barely read the screen of my QMX. That's with the trim pot turned full counter-clockwise Increasing that trim pot at all, and I can't see anything but the backlight. With

As an update, as I look further into this it would appear the paddle also doesn't work. If I set practice mode and just key nothing happens. Doesn't appear to be a common element between the key and

The picture causing your confusion seems to show 31 turns. So ignore that picture, other than for a general idea.? Follow the text. At the end of the 28th turn, the wire needs to be connected to

Re: QMX troubleshooting

Same here. I have just finished the QMX and loaded 1.09. The volume control is sometimes very erratic. It increases when turning the encoder anticlockwise and by some huge steps. I initially thought I
