Re: QDX - protection of BS17O PA
Well call it the pilot in me.
I have an old check list I perform prior to any transmission and have never blown any final in all my years.
On my vintage valve transmitters, cooking output tubes would

Re: Successful QMX build - and some bug reports
#qmx
Hans said there was a volume issue, and he is working on AGC, SSB, and being able to manually adjust the time.
Thought there would be another update by now....patiently waiting!

Re: QDX Rev 4 Only Shows 80M Band After Working Near T2
Hello Evan
No, firmware is the same... It's just a documentation error, the QDX-M web
page should have been updated. The firmware for QDX and QDX-M is the same.
I have corrected the QDX-M page

Re: QDX Rev 4 Only Shows 80M Band After Working Near T2
I'm not quite ready to call it fixed but I got all my bands back!
I found the MOSFET that controls 20M(I think Q5) was faulty. The output from the microcontroller would only come up to 2.1V instead

Hi Darren,
One other point to check would be the power supply.? Verify that the voltage is not dropping.? Also, monitor the current.
Can you hear signals when connected to an antenna?? Check on

Could you repost the RWTST graphic.? I have low 10m power on my QDX.

Re: FT8 for U3?
WSPR is a Weak Signal Propagation Reporter system, someone needs to be on the other end to RX. To get the most out of using WSPR one needs to REDUCE the TX power to somewhere between 9mW and 200 mW in

Hi Darren. I would definitely first look at the audio muting circuit R60,
D5 and Q7. You should see 5v on the gate of Q7 when the radio is keyed. If
not there, look for it on the cathode first, then

Are you sure you downloaded the correct firmware?? There are versions for a single-band QDX.? Try an older version and see if that helps.
Correct multiband QDX is

Re: QDX Rev 4 Only Shows 80M Band After Working Near T2
Thanks, that was my first thought too. I've done a factory reset, and also
reflashed the firmware and then done another reset with no change.

Re: QDX Rev 4 Only Shows 80M Band After Working Near T2
I would suggest a factory reset.? ?It looks like the EEPROM got messed up.
Look in the operating manual:

Re: QDX Rev 4 Only Shows 80M Band After Working Near T2
Still looking for what would make the QDX lose 20,30,40,60M. I am sure I did something to the board or a component but I can't figure out which.
I've been poking around the board for a few days.

Re: QDX - protection of BS17O PA
You are incorrect. Even a perfect antenna is subject to random events such as antennas falling down or coax faults.
A couple of diodes are cheap insurance for unforseen high-VSWR situations.
