Re: QMX T507 woes
The T/R switch, Q508, switches open during transmit, protecting the receiver circuitry. JZ

Re: QMX short VCC to ground #error #qmx #supply #troubleshoot #troubleshooting
Hi Ryuji, My D109 was just "soft", having a high internal series resistance. It still began conducting at the proper voltage, it simply didn't conduct much current and allowed more than 5 volts to be

Re: QMX short VCC to ground #error #qmx #supply #troubleshoot #troubleshooting
I need to clarify and apologize. Like many others, I often refer to VDD and VCC incorrectly even though I know the difference. I meant "VDD" pins on the MCU. There aren't any "VCC" pins (5 volts)

Re: QMX short VCC to ground #error #qmx #supply #troubleshoot #troubleshooting
FYI zener diode very often fail in short mode especially when over voltages in small doses repeatedly or otherwise gradually.

Re: QMX T507 woes
One other thing, I tested transmit by sending a series of dits in CW - maybe 5-10 at a time. [email protected]> wrote:

Re: QMX T507 woes
From experience, I can say that it has done no damage. I'm running from an 11.5v supply, if that matters. Also TX testing was done with a dummy load. 73, Randy, KS4L [email protected]> wrote:

Re: QMX T507 woes
If someone were to transmit with T507 wired in the ¡°U¡± configuration . . . would that fry the receiver? As in ruined beyond repair?

Vdd 3v3 shorted to 0V on main pcb.
Is there a 'proper' circuit diagram available? I've been searching this forum but i can only find 'bits and pieces'! Shane Doveton G0JNR.

Re: QDX no RF out #qdx
Thank you for the starting point. My job took me out of town for the next day at least, maybe two, so it'll be at least a day before I can test it. I promise to update you on that as soon as I get

Re: QMX short VCC to ground #error #qmx #supply #troubleshoot #troubleshooting
I had the same problem. Tracked it down to the MCU by eventually lifting each VCC pin on that chip (very carefully-I had to fashion a tool and use the big microscope) until the short cleared.

Re: QDX Experimental PA Simulation
JZ is correct about modeling the ferrite transformer/inductor. When looking at a well built Guanella transformer, the core material should influence on the loss and other fine detail properties but

Re: Vacuum-tube final for QRP transmitters?
Leland and all, The reason for that is tubes have high output impedance with some capacitance and the grid of the driven tube has a decreasing input impedance as well as a reactive structure

Re: QDX Experimental PA Simulation
Oh, in case of push-pull, that P is for each half of the amp, so the actually measured/combined power would be 2P.

Re: QDX Experimental PA Simulation
Power amp standard load line goes like this P = (Vdd - VDSsat) ^ 2 / (k * ZL) ZL in case of push-pull, 25 ohm when the output transformer is 1:1. k is usually between 1 and 2. Classes C/D/E/F is

QMX T507 woes
When I first built my QMX, it had zero RF output and the RX could only barely hear the strongest signals. Mike/w1mt suggested I remove T507, bypassing it across its C-C connection and see what
