Re: New QMX+ various problems on first power up
Reassuring, but it might be several Amps going through those Zeners at times. I think the acid test would be to have the QMX modified to use linear regulators, then have the QMX PWM and ADC lines

Re: QMX constant tone on RX
In both my QMX and QMX+ I get birdies in the receiver (some of them quite strong) at several different frequencies.? But they are very narrow, about 100Hz wide.? Meaning that for example, the

Re: QMX constant tone on RX
I was playing with mine today looking for more ¡°birdies¡± or what sounds like birdies. I hear the same tone at 21.066 and I think 14.076. That said, what I observed is that the tone is present in

Excellent!? Glad you got it working! As for power output on the upper bands, I think the 'twisted sisters' winding helps with that, making the transformer more efficient.? But if it is already

Re: ATU-100
I have an ATU-100 and it worked fine with the QDX. Now I also have QMX+ and it usually doesn't work automatically. When I send at full power, the QMX+ goes into alarm, when I send at 60%, the ATU-100

Newly assembled QCX
I recently completed building a QCX-mini from a kit given to me by a friend. I know the kit was purchased before the QMX was available and may have been from 1-2 years prior. As best as I could tell

Re: #qmx #QMXplus QMX dismantled awaiting QMX+ #qmx #QMXplus
Thanks for the advice, Dan. Well, I'm quite surprised. Retouched T501 again, no change. Checked Q507 traces, all OK, pins to pads OK. I couldn't see anything wrong in that area so I heated up Q507 and

Re: Diagnostics fail with no BS170s installed #qmx
Hi Chris, Just for my understanding, when you say BS170 gate drive, is this at the gate pins, or IC501? I would only expect the clock to appear at the BS170 gates in transmit mode. I am not sure what

Re: New pre-built QMX+: TX on digital (FT4/FT8) not working
I'm not sure if you are aware of these indicators, which may help: When you tune or otherwise turn on tx from wsjt-x, do you see a small dot appear under the 'A' vfo indicator on the QMX? Or do you

Re: Diagnostics fail with no BS170s installed #qmx
Thanks for the suggestions, Alan, what I see is that I can read and set the C2 value but this has no effect on what I see from the BS170 gate drive (a convenient place to look).? Changing the Rx
