Hi Mario
You might try switching OFF the 80/20m BPF swap in the advanced
configuration to see if that makes any difference. That was intended to fix
the TX/RX switch instability in QMX PCB Rev 2,

Dear All,
This is the mod that I did on a cheap Baofeng or similar microphone from Temu.
Really easy and takes around a hour to complete.
Works perfectly for the limited testing that I have done.? I

I'm still seeing some strangeness in the 80M sweep:
Not enough signal at the test frequency?
I'm enclosing it and the BPF filter sweep for reference:

I had this too, I just had to press the PTT and that's what I saw on the Monitor rig. Turned out to be too much Mic Gain. My setting is now 43.

Is there any reason the phase calibration only goes upt to 1200 on 80m, 30m, and 20m?

Re: shorted PA on TX, dead SMPSU?
Dan, you are not the first who has slipped with a probe.? Many of us have done that.

I built a QMX mid-band, it started up first time and everything seemed pretty normal except for low power output.

60m 9.5v(red) 1.7w 1.04swr
40m 9.5v ?
