Re: QDX: RF sweep shows notch at 20m
I've seen QDX HB sweeps that are down a fair amount at 20m, but not a notch like that. 20m uses the same BPF as 17m on the QDX HB, and Hans has said previously that's where compromise had to be made

Re: QDX JS8 Setup
If you can't find QRP labs, setting it to Kenwood TS-440S is supposed to work. My copy of JS8Call (v 2.2.1-devel) has "QRP Labs QCX/QDX" as an option.
Settings, Radio tab, Rig dropdown.

Hello Simone,
I guess yes. But there are some more parts around Q507. Could you measure please voltage at S, G and D of Q507 in RX mode.

While testing this midband QMX, I noticed that PA Voltage is always present, even in RX.
The QMX can happily put out almost 5 watts? in 60, 40 30 and a little less in 17 and 15, so the PA itself

Re: QMX Rev 1 Encoders and buttons stopped working

I've given all the joints a work over now and everything is working properly now.
The OM that taught me to solder (my Dad) would be very disappointed in those joints!
Thanks for your help

Re: QDX: RF sweep shows notch at 20m
John,
This doesn't appear to have been a problem on QDX, but only because
uncontrolled parasitics, which are part of that circuit too, had not
wandered into the zone. It was probably only a matter

Re: QDX: RF sweep shows notch at 20m
Hi John,
Thanks, that certainly clears things up a bit.? When I adjust the turns spacing -5dB seems to be about the high water mark so I'll just leave it there for now.
For reference, this is a QDX

Agreed, the excess solder makes it difficult to properly inspect the joint.? You only need enough solder to fill the joint, ideally the outline of the wire and the terminal should be visible.

Re: QMX 60-15 Build -- No Transmit on 60m and 40m. But Wait, There's More !
Thanks for the caution warning, Ludwig. I returned it to the 60-15 config and to its case after some more unproductive fiddling. I'll just life without 60 and 40 on the radio for now.
