Re: Questions re: PA socketing and Zener & L14 diodes
I soldered the diode across L14 on the top side of the board.....seemed to work for me. Hundreds of QSOs since and finals are still intact on my QDX. (Made it 440+ before blowing the original BS170s,

Re: QMX HI Band Rev 2. Immediate current limit on startup
My experience with VDD shorted to GND on the main board is that it¡¯s usually but not always in the MPU chip. ?You can determine that with a milliohm meter. ?Find where on the board the lowest

Re: QDX Low output power
For accurate power measurements you need a 50 ohm output impedance, a short cable to a good through line meter and a high quality 50 ohm load right on the meter output (or a terminator type meter)

I've spent some time this afternoon identifying bugs with the 1.00.014 firmware. This is what I have found:

That sounds similar to what happened when I fried my output transistors.

Re: QDX-hi kit
#qdx
Hello all,
I have a Rev2 board that I wish to run on the high bands and can't identify, from the schematics, the processor pin that needs to be grounded.
Any clues please?

Thank you to everybody. I figured the response might be ¡°That sounds about right¡±. I just wanted to double check. I have a QMX that my son finished building yesterday and I was comparing them

Re: QMX SWR meter gone mad (SOLVED)
Good to hear it's working!
Having a slightly higher SWR on 20m is normal, try moving the 10 turn windings as far as possible from the 1 turn ones, it should improve it a bit. In my case, I couldn't

Re: QCX CW Filter
Hi Danny, Peter, all
Attached is a comparison of the QCX vs QMX CW filtering. These are actual
measured responses. Not simulation or calculation. It's quite clear how
much steeper the QMX filter

Re: QCX CW Filter
Agree. The first time I used a radio without really sharp filtering it was quite a shock just how much activity I could hear above and below the frequency I was tuned on.
The QMX is pretty good. I

Re: QMX order form problem (kit/assembled)
#qmx
The QMX is much more complex than the truSDX. There are many more components and the boards are much tighter. There are more complex windings to do as well.
However, if you have done a nice neat job

Re: QMX output power 40 m vs 20 m (JS8Call)
SOLVED
After I fixed SWR bridge transformer, output has changed (and increased) on all bands.
With a fully charged Li-Pol battery and dummy load:
80 meters: 6 W out
60 meters: 6.5 W out
40 meters: 5 W

I don't see how there can be any confusion.? Each end of the 10 turn winding has a wire that comes out of each end of the toroid and there is a hole for the 10 turn winding next to it. The obvious

Hello, Adrian, thanks for the link!
I checked the windings. They look the same as in NorCal power SWR meter as well as the photo in assembly manual.

Jim,
Thanks for your advice. I decide to leave it there for now. I might try the adding capacitor method when I feel it's necessary.
