Some additional details:
In that old thread I pointed to, I suggest L502 is causing larger voltages across the BS170's than there should be:

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

I have a similar pattern in the ‘80m phase error vs DAC’ as Mario Vano AE0GL. I have done a factory reset, no change. Any ideas for troubleshooting?
Many thanks to Hans for the SSB software. I

Re: more WSJT-X touble
This is correct,? and is the issue.
No need to update or change WSJT-X.? ?If you have Hamlib v2.6.1, simply choose QDX or TS-480 as the radio type.? The QMX type is broken in this version.? You

"Authorised" in so far as it is open source.
The variations are not promoted on the main WSJT-X page.
Like the RC versions "improved" versions are best used by more experienced users.

Re: SSB Calibration blown finals
This is a 9 volt build. It is supplied through an LM338 regulator adjusted for 9 volts. The regulator input is from a 12 volt linear bench supply. The BS170s came from Mouser. They were mounted

I loaded 1.01.003 last night and ran the calibration routine. I thought everything went ok. I cycled power and started tuning around the bands. The first band I tried was 40 meters. I heard a group

Darrell,
Did it only happen this one session or does it happen every time you use your QMX in SSB?
