Re: QMX enclosure question
The USB-C jack may create an issue and there will be no mic hole.
Nothin a dremel can't solve.

QMX enclosure question
I happen to have an extra QCX mini enclosure. If I order a QMX will it
physically fit in the mini enclosure, understanding that the silkscreening
probably differs?
Thanks,

Re: mute QDX - update
All,
Well now there's a thing.
Rx is now fine - original fault ????
Tx, is FUBAR!
I know why but not why.
In Rx there is a nice signal on the Clk0 & Clk1 lines at the Rx frequency and they are 90

Re: QMX RX BPF troubleshooting, a new clue
JZ, I totally understand your concern, but as far as I'm concerned, that is a non-issue until it is proven to be a problem. It is probably a minor factor in the mess, but it is not the dominant factor

Re: QMX RX BPF troubleshooting, a new clue
Hi Evan,
The BPF plots do a fine job of assessing receiver sensitivity at any given
frequency. That is exactly how they work, and that is very helpful in
providing feedback to the builder that he has

Re: Fault during transmitting
Thanks for the tips. According to the diagnostics, the BIAS SMPS is fine, even though the output signal then becomes poor. I need to get some cold spray or something for further tests.

Re: #u3s FST4W on the U3S?

The minimum requirements for FST4W to be useful is a nice clean signal, the Si5351 is capable of this.
As you realise frequency stability is also required, FST4W decoders do not allow for much

Re: QMX - Looking for troubleshooting advice
I noticed that L509 is a 47uH inductor. Depending on the particular inductor model, the winding capacitance is usually on the order of a few picofarads, and the self resonance frequency can be as low

Re: QMX - What's up?
Gyula,
Thank you for your kind words.
I used the same sockets on both of my QDX rigs, but built a bigger heat sink because there was more space. See my AE5ZA/QRP QRZ page for a picture. Haven't lost

QMX - waiting for Qcx part..
Just built a QMX successfully. The Qdx part of the tcvr works, ie. FT8. But for CW its still useless. The Volume Control is unusable.
As well as the push button function. Its not working reliable.
