Re: Removing flux. Is it necessary? Yes/No
I use 99.9%? IPA (not the beer!) and an old medium toothbrush to dissolve the flux away. While the area is still wet I lay two layers of kitchen roll over it and rub over the top of that with the

Re: Still no output on QMX
Hi Paul, I initially built the 9V version of the QMX. All my power sources are either 13.8V or 12.8V. My thoughts were building the 9V version with a voltage regulator inline of a dedicated power

Re: qmx with tiny lcd display
Just curious, why would you replace it with a smaller one? Are you trying to make space for something else by shrinking the LCD?

Re: BS170 Heat flow experiment with results (Updated)
It’s all interesting The trouble with assuming temperature = heat flow is that actually temperature is just heat and without knowing the magnitude of the flow is a bit of a dead end There is a

Re: QMX (not-plus) power issue
I agree with Stan's assessment. When I had a blown PA transistor in my QMX, the rig (12v) was drawing over 200mA during receive. I didn't have to remove the Heat-sink washer to find the bad one. It

Re: QMX+ High Current and Self Start
Based on the post’s you referenced, I’m going to perform a “sanity check” on the LPF considering that L507 was found open. I can now invision a path through Q507 and the BS170’s with there

Re: Transverters?
You will need a high band QMX+ with 6m to do transverting up to 2m and 70cm.? Failing that 10m had been popular in the past. There are many reasons you won't want yo go lower. When I played with them

Re: QMX crashes on RF filter sweep (and other anomalies)
Hi Greg et al John VA7JBE's description is also what is happening with the QMX+ I have just completed.? This is my second QMX+ as the first one didn't work due to faulty ic's in both the tx and rx

Re: Still no output on QMX
I think it mainly depends on what you want to use for a power source. 9V will use ~1.3A in transmit, 12V will be under an amp (working from memory here!) 12V is tempting to use a nominal 12V source,

Re: Still no output on QMX
Well I'm back; Ludwig, since we determined that Q507 was good (until I broke the legs off), is there anything else that I need to pay particular attention to, to determine why there is no output

Re: BS170 Heat flow experiment with results (Updated)
Tony, I wasn't sure if you were measuring the a ctive device, so higher temps meant poorer transfer *to* the heatsink, or measuring the heatsink meaning higher temps might mean better heat transfer

Mine looked like that too. ?I couldn’t get a reliable connection to my pc until I resoldered those pads. ?Just used a fine tip iron and took my time.

Re: Unknown board
There's no free lunch. Power out < Power in V*I out < V*I in The 12V battery would need to sustain high current for the buck converter to achieve 20V at the current required to amplify the signal to

Re: J201 USB -c connector solder photo
Mine looked exactly the same. I did some continuity checking and all looked good. I moved on and have had no problem in that area. ________________________________ Sent: Saturday, September 21, 2024

Re: J201 USB -c connector solder photo
I'm no expert, but mine looked quite similar. I feared to touch it up: my hand isn't that steady. But I have had no difficulties with the USB port on my classic QMX. That's just how the process is at

J201 USB -c connector solder photo
I am on page 38 of the assembly manual for the QMX+, where it suggests we check the J201 soldering. I have attached a photo of what mine looks like. It looks to me there are pins in the holes that may
