Re: My QMX+ has a .3 ohm short on VDD
Dear Greg,
I didn't believe it but the GPS module did short out the Vdd bus.? I put a piece of tape over the jumper and now that doesn't happen.?? Hoping I was now past that problem I turned it on

Re: QMX Carry Case
Don't worry, the empty space will magically get filled with stuff soon enough!? Power/RF cables and adapters, earbuds, etc. tend to accumulate quickly.

Hi Greg, this is important.

Re: QMX for 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, & 10 Meters?
I agree with Nate.
You can configure it in the firmware, and you can build something. But
sharing filters between multiple bands involves compromise. I think 40-10
would be a compromise too far. It

Re: QMX WSPR fault
David,
The usual issues with WSPR on QRP -Labs products are incorrect frequency and incorrect time setting.
The frequency should be close enough on a QMX with the ovened crystal, so check how

John, you may use a terminal session to go in "Update firmware" or you use the hardware method (see operating manual).

Re: QMX for 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, & 10 Meters?
With 3 LPFs available, I think it would be tough to cover 40-10 meters adequately. That's likely why Hans' latest version doesn't cover beyond 15M.
I built a QDX for 40, 30, 20, 17 and 15m. Used one

Thanks for your very quick reply Hans. Yes, I saw the option for semi QSK in the menu and have noticed it non-functional. I hope you can find the bug some day, but I know you probably have lots of

QMX for 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, & 10 Meters?
Has anyone built a QMX to cover 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, & 10 Meters?
I'm interested in the band and filter combinations used.
