Re: Brainstorm question: How to "view" QDX LED status remotely?
What if you remove the LED and resistor and drive an Arduino pin directly?

Brainstorm question: How to "view" QDX LED status remotely?
My QDX is generally "remote" in my attic at my main QTH, running off a laptop up there, 30 feet feet from where I'll sit and "operate." I like the QDX for remote digital work, because there's no audio

QMX Rev2 Assembly Manual
Hans,
I was helping a friend who knocked off D103 from his SMPS (Rev2) PCB 2. I noticed that D103 is on the back of the board, while my Rev 1 has it on the front. While checking the pictures of the

Re: Did I fry my QMX SMPS or is it likely worse?
#qmx
Easy way is to check for short across the big yellow tantalum capacitor on each board. Test in both directions with a multimeter on a low ohms scale. It should read open in at least one direction.

Re: QMX HIGH BAND NO RF OUT AFTER ANOTHER 10 hour WSPR TRANSMISSION
good morning Michael, yesterday I replaced the 4 bs170s and the problem
remained the same, the strange thing is that I made many QSOs in cw with
5/6W on the bands here in my area, then I tried to

Re: Wall Wart Tests
Did you only apply power, or did you turn it on? If the former, you might be OK. If the latter, what happened?
I wouldn't think just applying 26 volts would damage the supplies, if they were off...

K3KDW,
No, I would not order the new boards.? I believe that you have damaged the 5 volt and 3.3 volt devices.? You could check with Jeff Moore W1NC on QRZ.com for his email address.? He can

Re: Did I fry my QMX SMPS or is it likely worse?

That pdf is gold. So I only have a few ohms between vcc and gnd and vdd and gnd. I don’t know what normal measurements are though. Is it worth ordering a fresh set of SMPS boards?

Thanks Hans,
I'd tried tracking through the labyrinth of documentation about this but it's very difficult without spending a shed load of time deciphering it.? It it's not obvious it isn't worth

K3KDW,
You want to measure the resistance on the bottom of the mainboard with the power supplies removed.? Attached is a PDF with the pin locations.

Same here.
I ended up finding a seller on Amazon a few weeks ago and grabbed one.

Re: Hyelec PS-28A 0-15 VDC, 0-2ADC power supply plus a simple crowbar circuit for protecting all of my QRP rigs
I agree, my Motorola Service Monitor has a TO-3 zener diode on a huge heat sink protecting its 5 volt supply. Gotta love brute force.

Re: Did I fry my QMX SMPS or is it likely worse?

Unplug the SMPS boards and check the resistance to ground of both the 3v3
and 5v0 supply rails on the main board. If the 3 volt rail shows only a few
ohms or less there is a high probability that the

I accidentally fed 26v to my QMX. That's what I get for keeping too many running projects laying around, especially when they require wildly different voltages but the same plug format. Next time I'll

How about just using an attenuator with a bypass for receiving? QRPGuys

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
