Re: QMX HIGH BAND NO RF OUT AFTER ANOTHER 10 hour WSPR TRANSMISSION
Good morning, I just changed firmware 16 to firmware 15 and nothing has
changed, the QMX still doesn't work well, it only absorbs 100 mA in
transmission, I seriously believe that the bs 170

Re: QMX Rotary Encoder
John, I broke a couple of the leads on the switch side of the encoders during assembly. I fixed it by replacing the missing lead with a thru-hole component cutoff (like the ones used on the display).

Re: QDX Modulated CW using FLDIGI
Hi Dan,
fldigi can use QDX transmit CW signal, but because QDX dose not have pulse shaping circuit, if you use it transmit CW, the signal will dirty, so you'd better not do that.

QMX Rotary Encoder
Evening,
I damaged the pins on one of the rotary encoders and need to get a new one. Anyone know the part number and where I can order one? Does Mouser stock them?
Thanks in advance.

Re: QMX Audio Noise when switching to Digital mode
Thanks Hans. I’m embarrassed to say that I think you identified the issue correctly. After several uses in the field, the Digi mode background noise level seems entirely reasonable.

Hmmm, I wonder whether implementing colored LEDs as part of a system's
Human - Machine Interface (HMI) could run afoul of the Americans with

Hi Jim, all
I'm glad to hear that all is well and it is working but I don't really

Re: GPS for frequency calibration?

Thanks Hans for the quick answer.
No problem, the frequency is really accurate. I was fiddling with the QLG2 and found nothing for calibration. But it's not important.

Re: #qdx QDX and a smoked BS170
#qdx
Evan,
I think your analysis is spot-on correct.
The TX pin of the MCU is directly in the line of fire for an overvoltage
fault starting at the BS170s.

Re: Wall Wart Tests
Have a look at the output of the supply as you plug and un-plug it.
DC couple and trigger off of the output and you are looking for spikes and excursions during turn on and off.

Thank you for your help. I removed the TCXO and L15 and still found 7 ohms to ground on 3v3.

Re: #qdx QDX and a smoked BS170

Removing L15 will disconnect the clock generator from 3v3. That might be a
good test. I hope it is not the MCU. I have never seen a QDX MCU fail.
