Re: QMX RF sweeps
Got that pin soldered that I left un-soldered after misunderstanding the instructions.
Have found a missing part! C509 is not on the board. C510 is and it is a 0603 sizes SMD marked "103." C510 is

Re: QMX RF sweeps
Karl, THIS MIGHT BE IT: *Make sure your QMX is set to VFO A before performing the RF sweeps.* If it's set to VFO B, the RF Sweep doesn't work right and shows graphs like you posted. Yeah, I just had

Re: QMX RF sweeps
From my experience swapping them made it worse. I used new capacitors so their values may have been not exactly the same as the originals, but they should have been as they were marked correctly.

Re: QMX RF sweeps
Karl, there is one more fix for you to make. Refer to http://qrp-labs.com/qmx/qmxtrouble.html
the section *Low 20m output power on early QMX builds*

Re: QMX Failure Discovered...and new problem
Dan,
When you have IC403 removed, check the voltage at the junction of R401
and R402, in both receive and transmit. It should be 2.5V in both
cases. If you have a short at one of the bandswitch

Re: Fldigi and QMX successful???
Indeed that sounds like the QMX issue I see. However it does not happen on the QDX, ONLY on the QMX.

Re: QMX Poor contrast with backlight on
I found the culprit! I had the screw securing the corner power supply board too tight, which caused the body of inductor L101 to contact pin #3 on the LCD board. Backing off on this screw just a

Re: QMX Failure Discovered...and new problem
Regardless, do ohm check between drains Q103 and Q104. The easy way to check this is ohm between Gate and Drain on Q103. Good is about 50k ohms. Bad is zero.
