Re: QDX rev 6 image freq problem
If the problem occasionally changes:
Try applying heat, cold, and mechanical pressure, this might localize the problem.
Perhaps flex the board a bit (but not too much!), this might show if it's a bad

Remove the GPS module if you installed it.? My power jumper under it was too big and it grounded out on the GPS antenna connector.? I had the exact same symptoms.? It came to life when I removed

Hello Andreas
Agreed, these would both be useful items. I have added them to my

Re: QMX article in the QST
Hi Shirley
Yes, I thought about that too. I used to scoff at the "excuses" that
conventional measurement techniques of some performance characteristics
don't work properly on SDRs compared to analog

Thanks for the pointers. I initi6had the current limit set to around 100mA and then increased it to 500mA, but still no joy.

Re: QMX article in the QST
SDRs are notoriously difficult to measure with conventional lab techniques,
so it's possible the ARRL Lab got it wrong. I'm pretty sure they DID get
that blocking gain compression number wrong.
It's

Re: Clear SWR Protection "S" through the USB port?
Hi Sam
It's good that there's a workaround however, I think it would be tidy for
there to be a CAT command which returns the SWR protection (and other kinds
of protection, like battery voltage)

The factory pre-programmed versions of the Si5351A are often not suitable

Re: QMX article in the QST
Hello Shirley, Steve
In my opinion the QMX should show considerably better strong signal
performance than reported in the QST review. If you compare it with the QCX
review for example, the QCX review

To put those numbers in perspective: the QMX doesn't have the strong signal

at its price point. Aside from the number for

The QMX doesn't have a speaker, and how good the sound is will also depend highly on the speaker you use.? I agree with those that have praised the QMX audio, but have also heard it be raspy and
