Re: ABS for QMX+. Battery/charger design improvements over version 1.1 #PSU #QMXplus #ABS
You can even attach the 3000mA 12 V Talentcell to the top of the QMX+ enclosure (or bottom if you are using flip up front feet))? with double sided tape and use a small cable between the two power

Re: Wall warts can be fatal to QMX :-(
The LM2940CT-12 seems to work fine on my 12v rig. Could be some QMX's built for 9v may want more than 1 Amp. The LM2940CT-12 is around a dollar for one piece, higher currents cost more. Here's a

Did a quick search, seems the spelling is best made a little different: A ¡°ditty bopper¡± was a slang term for a Morse code intercept operator, MOS 05H in the Army. Most were assigned to the ASA

Hi Cal, I would like to add my 2 cents with regard to your purchases so far. ?It would make sense to me if all the parts you have purchased so far-to get to where you need to be with this project- be

Re: Diagnostics fail with no BS170s installed #qmx
I've borrowed a signal analyser and what this shows me on the antenna on the 20m band in the diagnostics mode is a signal at 14.061 Mhz when receiving and 14.077 when transmitting.? I suppose the

Re: ABS for QMX+. Battery/charger design improvements over version 1.1 #PSU #QMXplus #ABS
Hi Barb, I agree, the high power BMS is an overkill. The lower power versions don¡¯t have any balance circuitry for whatever reason. Keeping things simple is probably a good idea. I guess it¡¯s all

Hello, I'm back again and this time I have good news, I think I finally fixed everything. Once connected to the terminal app, touching the board or "bending" it slightly changed the voltage, so as you

I normally use one of my many, very good linear lab supplies. I was readying a 2nd QMX I bought to lend to an old USAF diddybopper living in a memory care facility. An adjustable lab supply was not a

Re: ABS for QMX+. Battery/charger design improvements over version 1.1 #PSU #QMXplus #ABS
Hi Sardar and All, TP4056 is only a charger. using 3 of them can charge but you won¡¯t have balancing which will eventually overcharge cells and damage batteries. These bms boards are pretty good in

Re: ABS for QMX+. Battery/charger design improvements over version 1.1 #PSU #QMXplus #ABS
Hi Sardar, I suspect any solution using switching converters is going to generate RFI. Anyway, a few thoughts below. 73, Dave General I am not so sure that adding switching regulator devices in the

Re: ABS for QMX+. Battery/charger design improvements over version 1.1 #PSU #QMXplus #ABS
Hi Sardar, from my point of view the current solution with the balancer board is good enough. With normal 12V power supply during operation there should be no issue. My concern is the life power at

Re: QMX: Low Power & no receive
Ja, So, based on your scans I would immediately suspect the soldering of the T501 transformer, and your LPF toroids. Maybe also the winding of T501. -- 73, Dan - W2DLC
