Re: QMX High swr into 50 ohm dummy load
Hi Mike, I think you should make new windings. Secondaries have to be made very tight and turn by turn. You have to get maximum possible space between the primary and secondary in the total length of

Re: QMX image rejection / rf sweep good enough?
No, it is fundamentally a matter of matching phase and amplitude after the mixer. All components are SM and fixed. Hans has said one day it may be automatic, otherwise you need to be a dedicated

Re: QMX image rejection / rf sweep good enough?
Should I try to get it better, and if so, how/what should I try to modify (BPF + LPF)? Thanks!

Re: QMX remains dead
Hello Brian If it shows up as a mass storage device that means it is in firmware update mode. In that case it won't connect with PuTTY, until you copy in the firmware. My apologies if I missed

Re: QMX High swr into 50 ohm dummy load
Mike, the fact that your "after" SWR gets worse at lower frequency suggest to me that something probably broke or made an unwanted connection in the process.

Looking at the receiver board schematic, if T401 is on the board, you should see DC continuity from pin 7 on IC402 to pins 7 and 9 on IC403. The time to do a DC continuity check on a trifilar winding

QMX suffers zero negative impact from deleting L401 (with measurements)
In previous episodes of this saga - * L401 has a habit of producing a null in the 20m band if you wind it wrong * I wound it wrong * For giggles, I deleted it from my QMX. Suffered no ill effects,

I have continuity between the left A, B, C, and pin 7 as noted in the instructions. The right A, B, and C, share some continuity with the left. Is this correct? I expected these would be independent.
