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: 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

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

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
