Re: Info QCX mini
How does one use this? It seems to be Bluetooth only.

Re: QMX (1_00_020) SWR - Issue?
You can test for intermittent contact by attaching your VNA and then flexing the wires, connections, etc. until you find the offending part.

Re: QMX (1_00_020) SWR - Issue?
It is typically well beyond what is needed to measure an antenna's impedance which varies slowly with frequency compared to, say a crystal filter.

Re: Hermes Lite 1 : RM Italy BLA 350 : QRP Labs 10W Linear
Using this would be my approach, rather than attenuating the signal by 26dB and re-amplifying it by 29dB.

Re: 10w HF Linear PA current consumption does not change after installation

COR can be problematic with any modulation, as it will by nature always "hot switch" when drive is sensed, open-circuiting the output of the driving amplifier/radio as the amplifier switches from RX

Re: Hermes Lite 1 : RM Italy BLA 350 : QRP Labs 10W Linear
Hi Joshua
When the HL2 onboard PA is not enabled, there is NO RF output on the ANT output connector, the ANT connector becomes a RX input connector, and the RF1 connector is the only RF output,

Re: Hermes Lite 1 : RM Italy BLA 350 : QRP Labs 10W Linear
What is the drive from the HL2 without the onboard PA activated? I know it is a very low level output but I don't remember if it is adjustable. You may not need a t attenuator if the output is

Re: QMX (1_00_020) SWR - Issue?
Thanks Ludwig,
I actually found my dummy load.
I believe it is the coax or possibly even the antenna that is causing my a problem. What was confusing was that the SWR and the Return Loss on the VNA

Re: QMX (1_00_020) SWR - Issue?
Thanks Steve,
I think you may be right.
I found my dummy load (hooray). ?I measured it with my VNA and got 1.07. ?I then put that into my QMX and at first got a set reading if 10 but disconnected

Re: QMX+ Power Supply boards problem

Dan, so it looks like a problem related to this SMPS board.
Maybe the short comes from something burnt?

Re: QMX (1_00_020) SWR - Issue?
It is a great pity you have misplaced your dummy load, because your antenna appears faultless, and my next step would be to put a decent 50 Ohm load on the QMX and see what it thinks of it.
Perhaps

You're thinking about the right things. I would recommend a bit of testing before building a pyramid

Thank U Allison, that was very quick off the mark, very much appreciated.

Re: QMX (1_00_020) SWR - Issue?
* VNA comes with SMA and QMX with BNC. So you use at least one additional adapter. Could you tell how the antenna cable is connected in each case?
* BNC connectors are reliable. But in rare cases

Re: Hermes Lite 1 : RM Italy BLA 350 : QRP Labs 10W Linear
As outlined that is the way to go.
You may consider a low level PTT control for that so the keying voltages
for the amp and driver are compatible. also a way to shut down the
driver amp for a mid

Re: QMX (1_00_020) SWR - Issue?
How does the QMX behave with a 50 ohm dummy load? If the QMX reads a low VSWR with a dummy load, the QMX is working properly. In your previous post showing the Putty screen, VSWR was shown as 1.94 to
