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.

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

Re: QRPp
Hi Barb
No... all you do then is fry the BS170. The point of multiple BS170's is
less about reducing the effective switch "on" resistance due to paralleling
multiple devices. It's more to do with the

Re: QRPp
Barb,
I wonder.
I seem to remember that essentially the paralleled devices share the load. That has been mentioned with the U3S.
Would just one be overloaded?
