Jerry,
Are we looking at the IRF510-based 50-watt class C amp or the PA of the Q_X series? I believe you have a uBiTx IRF510 simulation that might also be relevant. The output is not the TCVM used in

Do not do calibration in one set. Do it one by one with 5 minutes break in between to let the finals have some time to cool down.

Re: QMX+ Strange Audio Artifact - Help, Please...
Hi Stan,
Sorry for the delayed response to your post - busy weekend. Solder joints for L504 and L514 looked OK, but I re-heated them anyway - no change, still sounds like a 30 wpm machine gun on

Well this mystery is solved. I had shorted the leads from one of the BS170 finals nearest to the slot that the PCB slides into. Fortunately, the only damage was to that final so I replaced it and the

Re: Receiving AM?
Yes, and the option "IQ mode" enables a SDR program to be used with a QDX or QMX to do just that.
There are some decoders that use the IQ stream directly.

Re: Receiving AM?
Synchronous AM as well.? Once you have an I-Q data stream you can do any kind of demodulation you want.

Indeed, LTSpice does not always agree with real hardware.
Especially with something like the QMX final and LPF's.
Some of the details don't get properly modeled.
But it's way better than just staring

Re: SOTA QMX SSB

So it would be OK for 20v IF you had a perfect output load matched to the transistor? Makes sense. Thanks, Gary!
No. Don't even go there.
At 20V to get 50W out you would be very close to max Idd.?

NO!? The pinout is not the same making for odd crossover mods.
The max operating votlage for RD16HHF1 is 16V, no exceptions.
The max power is 16W per device and a pair cannot do 50W
