Re: Beginners Guide Request
Andrew,
Welcome to the wonderful world of CW! I've just jumped back in this year after a 20+ year hiatus.
The QMX (mine's not a +) is a fabulous CW machine.
Good job getting your voltage at 12v or

Re: QMX+ Power Increasing Question
Success (so far). I replaced IC503 and now have a nice 5v TTL level signal out on both sides. BS170s not installed yet. Waveform attached.
This was on 20m. I tried 6m and it was bit lower amplitude at

Re: Is it a BUG or a FEATURE on .19 firmware QMX+ CAT?
Interesting; thanks for bringing this issue up.
The issue manifested itself in my shack with Log4OM logging software. The CAT control is working, but the frequency fields for a new qso in Log4OM

Re: Firmware and Wiki question
#firmware
LIN_REG_EN is active high, not active low. At start up it is pulled high by R101, the processor pulls it low to disable the linear regulator and switch to the SMPS.
This will be correct while the

Hi Mark - so I tried the alsamixer and it shows the QDX as having a zero setting and I am unable to adjust it:

Re: QMX+ 9v Portable Power Options
I'm using 8 Ikea NiMH 2500 mAh batteries with mine. I just exceed the recommended 5W output on 30 metres when the batteries are fully charged, but I don't run data modes, so I'm not too worried about

QMX+ 9v Portable Power Options
For those that chose to go down the 9v pathway - I’m curious what energy source solutions you are using for field/POTA/SOTA type operations.

Re: QMX tuning is wacky all of a sudden
Very odd behaviour... How does it behave with earlier firmware installed on the radio?

Re: To TCXO or not to TCXO...that is the question.
I've got AGC's fitted to all my QCX's, 3 minis and 2 classics. They're pretty much essential.
As for the TCXO, my minis have them fitted although they've never really been used for WSPR where that

Re: QMX (frequency) presets not working properly / maybe "dangerous"
In the case of QMX+ LPFs this could be even more unpleasant situation:
3.5 x 5 = 17.5
3.5 x 7 = 24.5
7.0 x 5 = 35.0
7.0 x 7 = 49.0
I hope this will be solved in due time.
