Re: QMX+ Low Image rejection at 160m,
Thanks Hans,
Great kit with excellent support. I look forward to the firmware updates in due course, appreciating that they take time to develop and test.
As an aside I do wonder if you considered

Re: 50w PA oscillations
Hi,
what is the PTT +5V line voltage when active? Does the red LED lights up bright?
I had to lower the value of the R210 in the QMX+ (just added 100R in parallel) to stabilize the PA RX/TX

Re: QMX+ Low Image rejection at 160m,
Hello Trevor
160m image rejection is a known issue and I will fix it as soon as I have
done the SSB firmware update. It's not a hardware issue, it's firmware. If
all the other bands are correct then

QMX+ Low Image rejection at 160m,
Hello,
My newly built QMX+ is showing poor image rejection in the test suite, but only when for 160m, other bands look OK.
The image at 160m indicated -3.7, with both wanted and image around

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.

Re: QMX+ build: so close, and yet....
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.

Looks that way but if you look at the screenshots, you can see I'm using a 9V supply.

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
