Re: Does L502 cause excessive voltages on the QMX finals?
Evan,
You are correct, I missed the 100pF cap.
Thanks.
I had noticed that computed values for L508 and L512 were different than the ones Hans had said he simulated with.
I figured since I was

Re: Has anyone built the 10 watt PA kit and used it with the QMX?
My rule of thumb is 10dB gain minimum, maybe 6dB for a device for which no higher power alternate exists.? Pretty much what Allison said.
There is an amplifier figure of merit called "power-added

Re: Higher SWR Dummy Loads ??
I bought a couple of Hans' dummy load kits (because of their great design) and populated them with different values of resistors.
For a 100 Ohm load: 10ea. 1K 1% 2W resistors.
For a 200 Ohm load:

Final update...
I sent it off to Jeff (W1NC)and he turned it around in a couple days. The main problem was the CPU. My guess is the two bad SMPS boards were the root cause, but Jeff did clean up some

That is really nice, Dave! I wimped out and bought my kit with the case...
hoping to start on it this weekend.
You definitely will not have anyone claim it is another QMX+ "twinkie".

Hi Greg,
How about usin an antenna matching unit. You should be able to set the SWR where ever you want it.
