Hi all I don't know of anything that could cause higher current consumption (and heating) in 1_00_026. The higher CPU load in CPU was also the case in earlier versions with the single choice of CW

The only other difference that I noticed is a slightly higher CPU load of 39..40% on RX. Maybe a result of the new CW filters? It used to be around 33%.

Re: SOTA Batteries for QMX/QDX
Another vote for 3 x 18650 cells. They're perfect for the job. I must admit to being a bit less cautious than the others regarding final charge voltage. When the cells are straight out of the charger,

Peter, you may be right: for RX I just measured 122.35mA on my 9V Midband QMX in CW-Mode and 122.62mA in Digi-Mode. No USB/Cat was attached, no paddle, etc., only a linear PSU and a dummy load. On

I have managed to complete the update but had to short the two pins as described in the operating manual. It didn't re-boot but powering down and then on again I was pleased to see it start as normal.

Re: SOTA Batteries for QMX/QDX
Yes, here the same 3x 18650 which I charge with a small foldable 20W solar panel. The charge voltage is kept to 12.2 Volt with a LM2596 step down voltage converter ( with display). Have fun with QRP.
