Good to hear that it's at least technically possible in some way... Yes, was hoping it might be, with "just" a firmware update ( I don't mean to minimize the work involved in creating a new firmware

Re: QMX Display Brightness
Hey Cal -
Tried to look you up via QRZ to ask you a question about the AT-100M.
Here it is:
For Function #10 "Calibration" what setting do you use for 20W radios such as the Xeigu G90 or FX-4CR?
It's

Re: QMX RX BPF troubleshooting, a new clue

If I have any question regarding the Zin(fRX - fLO) characteristics, it is more on how we can take advantage of it. If that function is a steep concave, particularly at lower fLO like 3 to 10MHz

Re: QMX - What's up?
I have considered removing them as a last try. I've used them in my QDXs, but there was room to build a much beefier heat sink there. Also, as I've said before, with the number of dying BS170s I've

Re: QMX enclosure question
The USB-C jack may create an issue and there will be no mic hole.

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?
#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
