Re: QMX SWR Display Gone
Section 5.15v in the User Manual suggestws that the SWR can be turned on/off. Have a read and a play around I'd say.

Inspect around the BNC connections. A ground pad on the SMA footprint is very close to the BNC hot output. It's very easy to have a solder blob there which shorts the output to ground.

QMX-M on 60M?
I do not see it offered yet, the QMX-M for 60M. If I ordered the
current kit 10-11-12, with a little help could it be put on 60M?
