Yes
Device Manager has:
2 Sound Cards
1 Serial port (com17)
Diagnostic runs. buttons test good, voltages look OK.
What else?
Thanks
Thanks,

Re: QMX LDMOS finals
Good, had me puzzled.
So where the bottom axis now reads:
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
it should read:
-9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
An informative graph,

Re: QMX LDMOS finals
Chris,
It’s clear that the BS170 maximum Vds rating is greatly exceeded on 80 and
160 meters and this is indeed due to higher gain in the FETs at lower
frequencies. I saw this gain difference vs

Re: QMX LDMOS finals
Chris,
I guess I need new glasses, as I now see the band designation in the prior posts.? Looking at the SWR of 1, the measured voltage does seem to follow projected power as frequency changes.? A

Re: QMX+ Lightning Damage
Hi Sam, can you still access the QMX+ diagnostics via Terminal? Do you still see the serial port as well as the sound card on your computer?

Re: QMX T501 Wire Size?
Hi George?
Bruce is correct that you can use the 0.33 on all QMX and QMX+ kits now. And QDX kits too.?
Depending on when you bought your kit you may have received enough 0.33 to complete everything,

Re: QMX LDMOS finals
The plot does not address power. Only peak voltage across the BS170s. However the 160m has higher power than the other bands.
You can see that 160m and 80m exceed the 60V ratings of BS170 and are

Hi Dale
You might not need the revised manual anyway, if your kit comes with T37-6
toroids. Anyway:

- Edit to the parts list to reflect the fact that four of the toroids
might be T37-10
