Filter values for 160m QDX?
I've seen discussion about the possibility of building a 160M QDX-M... But haven't found anyone that's documented doing it, other than Hans saying he ran some WSPR on one? I see filter values for

Re: QMX power out measument concerns
When you say your scope is calibrated.....what do you mean? Were you using a x10 probe with the scope? Was the probe properly compensated first? -Nate N8BTR

I used the 47-volt version from this Amazon assortment (I always buy assortments to build my parts bin). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B099F24G22/ 73 Evan AC9TU

Re: QMX power out measument concerns
Probably T507 has one unmade connection (on the thin wire). I would believe the scope reading, assuming a good 50 Ohm dummy load. Most of my other power readings disagree!

Hi Stefan, " lower IR" should be no problem, lower IR is better for reverse operation. Look here ( https://html.alldatasheet.com/html-pdf/15021/PHILIPS/1N4148/745/3/1N4148.html ). The worst value for

QMX power out measument concerns
My QMX hi-band build is great so far. Am currently measuring power output. However, I have two concerns: * The terminal emulator Diagnostics power output indicator always reads 0 watts out, even

Re: Qcx Mini as a 6 Meter CW Beacon
Hi Giuseppe, Thanks for the information about the T37-6 yellow toroid. I seem to remember reading something about that while researching toroids. I'm only getting about 1/2 watt RF power out using the

Re: QMX Rev2 80m RF sweep good enough? #bpf #filter #qmx #80m
Hello Stefan, In all honesty, I don't think there's any noticeable improvement... or my ears don't hear it, at least. I did the mod because the pacient was already on the table for the recommended

Re: QMX Rev2 80m RF sweep good enough? #bpf #filter #qmx #80m
Hi Adrian, Lun, Jim & Paul, I'm fascinated by your efforts to optimize the sweeps, however, I wonder, whether this will really have a recognizable effect in day-to-day operation. From what I got now

Re: #qmx PCB Rev 2 recommended modification #qmx
Hi folks, now that I got my filter sweeps fine after replacing Q508, I want to do the Diode mod. However, I have no 1N4148 lying around. What I got at hand that comes closest is a BAW76, specs (and

Re: BS170 Killer?
Hi Peter Li, I think the Zeners will provide some protection against SWR that results in high voltage, not in SWR that causes excessive current.? A bad SWR can cause either, depending on the

Re: BS170 Killer?
Thanks (again) Evan! For voltage, don't the Zeners give SWR protection that the L14 diode does not give??Do you think doing both Zeners and TN0110/TN0106 is also perhaps belt-and-suspenders? For

Re: QDX Rev 3 using firmware v1_10 issue
I've just checked my V3..Firmware 1.10. I guess I fixed the audio short if that was relevant It has a clock buffer like the V4, .I do not think that will make a difference. I did audio and RF scans

Simon & Randy - thanks for the replies to my post. I understand the dangers of auto-tuners with the QMX/QDX rigs. And it is unfortunate that the little PA units aren¡¯t robust enough to withstand the

Re: clock contrast mod #clock
Hi Bob. thanks for the idea. Its called contrast <improvement> in the manual but either way it certainly effects brightness at extreme settings. I'm okay with it as is. I found a 220k in the junk box
