Re: Harmonics of QMX high band on 30M
#qmx
The attenuation should be the same at all frequencies.? Some taps I've encountered
are inconsistent with frequency.
So long as no one complains and you make a reasonable attempt to comply there

Re: Harmonics of QMX high band on 30M

Since the second harmonic is very dependent on the symmetry of the PA signal the second harmonic will vary from unit to unit and may vary with supply voltage.

Paul,
Thank you for your help. I looked over the soldering joints with a combination of a magnifier and a jewler's loupe before powering it up (and many times since). The qmx is no longer connecting

Re: QCX mini buzzing sound
OK Doug. Just checking, as the term "active antenna" does carry a
specific meaning.

Re: QMX Clicking CW Sound
Jay, one thing that made it less objectionable for me was to set Sidetone
volume to "45" and "sidetone abs/rel" to Relative.

Re: QCX mini buzzing sound
John, it's just an end fed half wave. More accurately, active because it has signals on it. If I switch it to the dummy load, no buzz.Doug WX7JSent from my T-Mobile 5G Device

QCX chip woes

Anders,
Whether an LPF or a BPF (the Z-Match is a BPF), it does not matter.? As long as what goes to the antenna is within specification, you should be okay.

Re: QCX mini buzzing sound
Doug,
You said you connected an active antenna.
Is that correct? What model?
Active antennas have a built in amplifier to enhance reception, but it
probably would not survive if the TX was

I don't know about high quality 40dB attenuator, but I quickly built the AE6PM power tap and additionally an attenuator of 20dB (68/270/68ohm). Total 60dB. And then I ran my 3 Watts through that

Coupling loop probably works better (more pick up ) at higher frequencies but definitely not flat
So accurate spectrum measurements are impossible
