Re: Handheld QMX?
Wes Hayward was not the norm (and still isn't).
Check the station photos toward the back of that 52 yr old QST, all appliance gear.
Lots of Heathkits, though that's hardly building your own.

Great stuff Jerry, and good to take a look back when building was the norm!
Just a word on the touch keyer. I built it, because touch is what I had in the old times. With the QCX I found it to be

Re: Handheld QMX?
Many years ago W7ZOI is pictured with a handheld cw rig. Key is attached, maybe battery in his pocket and a wire antenna is deployed into a tree. Certainly qmx can do this with a suitable key. I may

Re: Linear voltage regulator for QMX+
I asked to QRPkits and they answered:
- this kit is basically a filtered and regulated power supply without the transformer. Input voltage up to DC or AC 20V. Output voltage from 1.25V minimum to

Re: Side tone to help zero in to a station
#QMXp

#qmx
If the filters are in the default setting and the sidetone frequency and cw offset are the same, even a tone-deaf op like me can match the other station without actually zero-beating a generated tone.

What firmware revision did you have when the rig failed like that?
What hardware revision?
Latest firmware rev is 1-00-027, and seems to have reduced the occurrence of this sort of thing

Re: QMX+ power & transmit current vs input voltage plots
I assume you wound T501 with the RWTST 3:2 turns ratio since you are running it at 12 volts.
My opinion is you may show your numbers as long as you are within the QMX+ specifications as far as

Re: Why twist wire
Hi all,
A quick comment about twisting the wires for the transformer: The twisting increases the coupling coefficient , k, between the windings. This reduces the leakage inductance (1-k), thereby

Re: Handheld QMX?
Hi Yoon,
Yes, besides erratic behaviors you described, the side tone also sounds funny.
Looks like to use reel wire to lower the SWR is the key. I could only get 1.8:1 from MFJ1720 as I

Re: Why twist wire
Karl;
There's a longish thread back when the high-band QDX was being built by many, but output power was not as high as many would like.

You applied pressure to the board.
Maybe caused something to short circuit.
Even under the board, you had it on the bench unmounted.

Matti, hard to say without more information. Maybe after getting some results from your tests.
