Re: QRPp
How about just using an attenuator with a bypass for receiving? QRPGuys
have one for 25 dollars or so.

Re: #qmx filter testing and adjustment

Oh, yes, that was a nice trick.? I figured out the problem with 15m is that the cutoff frequency is too low, and 21.074 MHz is actually more than 3dB down.? I did the transmitter test at 19MHz, well

Re: Wall Wart Tests
I accidentally plugged in a 26v supply from another ongoing project. Do you suspect I'm ok after replacing the SMPS boards or is this disaster likely more serious?

Re: #qmx wrong inductances for LPF?

Thank you for your thoughts and clarifications!
The more I play in Elsie with LPF simulations, the more I agree that following the manual will be a good start. It seems in the QDX HB, the 15/17m LPF

"The current assembly manual is correct: C525 is 270pF and C516 is 180pF. "
Be careful, simulations must account for stray capacitances.

QMX: C516 - C525 swapped value
#qmx
On the QMX rev.2 PCB, it appears that the values of C516 and C525 are swapped between the schematic and the manual.
I have run simulations and the values in the schematic seem to be better.

You can adjust input gain in the terminal configuration menus.

Re: #qmx wrong inductances for LPF?

Hi Nate
From Material 17 I used the size 30 (T30-17).
Validation by using T37-10 showed two things:
1. My setup brought probably to high values for L.
2. Despite the deviance (see No 1) the AL of the

You are right Hans! I forgot to mention the most important point! I lower voltage to 5V! Getting old!! Sorry for the snafu!

Re: QRPp
Hello Barb
The maximum power dissipation of a BS170 according to the ON Semi datasheet
(these are the devices we supply) is 0.83 Watts.
If a QCX was producing 5W output at 60% efficiency the heat

Re: QRPp
Hans,
I have QCX V1 and I adapted for usdx and used it with 1x BS170 without any problems many months. The PA efficiency is 60 to 70% which does not create significant excess heat.
Actually that QCX

I've got a homebrew QRP power meter (photo of schematic) and it showed 17.7v (+3w) in my DVM.? That's quite a bit more than <.5w!? I'm gonna go back and reflow the toroids and transformers.? Maybe
