Re: 50w PA oscillations
Hi,
I have the QMX+ connected to the RF input of PA and the PA RF output is
connected to dummy load.
QMX+ & PA is powered up.
When QMX+ goes into transmit severe oscillations occur at junction of

Re: Still no output on QMX
James, there are more than one possible reason for the shown values (e.g. T507, LPF section, cables, dummy load). It would be helpful to have some additional values. Could you show for each band:

Re: QMX+ PA Voltage marginally low
Thank you for the verification, Hans.
I will look forward to the calibration function when time allows.

Hi Michael,
that’s great that it is alive. ?Congratulations on that part.
look at all of your soldered joints under magnification and a bright light. ?Look especially at T501, the output

Re: Pwr output dramaticly decrease with higher Freq. from 6 W to 0W, for 160 to 20Mc
Hi Don, mni tnx for your answer. Yes I also think the driver SN74ACT08D is under suspicion and I will replace it

Re: Low power output from new QMX
mine is close,
2,5w on 20m;
1,8w on 17m;
My SWR is higher

Re: Using .33mm/AWG#28 for everything in the QMX+?
Yes, the only exeption I remember are the single turn coils in the T507. Eveything else seams to be in .33mm wire.

Re: Still no output on QMX
Looks that way but if you look at the screenshots, you can see I'm using a 9V supply.

Hi Stan,
thanks for your comment.
I do have a newer revision with D516 already installed as SMD.

Re: Broken STM32 pin to LCD
Hello James
I have some ideas I wanted to try but I consider them "stretch goals" and
so so far out that I don't want to put them on paper (or electronic
equivalent) until I am way past much higher

Re: QMX+ PA Voltage marginally low
Hello Trevor
Marginally low PA voltage is not considered a problem. It's acceptable.
There's device to device variation. In the future I will include in the
firmware a calibration function that can

i think your build looks great. From what i saw yesterday i figure you’ll be able to tweak better results than me. Your Bpf should also be squeezable. If you look at mine the windings

Re: Still no output on QMX
The high-band powers look like you wound the transformer for 9V but are
running with 12V.

First, the good news: IT'S ALIVE.
It accepts power, it does not catch fire, and all the controls work and pass diagnostics.
The bad news: it does not pass transmit diagnostics, and all the different

Re: Still no output on QMX
Hi Ludwig, I have some output numbers for you.
60M-<.5W
40M-<.5W
30M-<.2W
20M-9.9W
17M-8.4W
15M-5.5W
Do you have an idea why there's very little output om 60M-30M and too much on 20M & 17M?

Re: Still no output on QMX
did you have a good dummy load attached when you pressed T to turn on
transmit? The SWR of 2.8 is much higher than it should be. With a 50ohm
dummy load it should be 1.1 or so.
