Re: Interesting thing happened on my 20-10 meter QMX after loading the latest FW 1.01.003
Gary, Thank you.? I had intended to look up the LPF for the 40 and compared to the specs of what was available on my 20 through 10.

Re: QMX Won’t turn on
If you have the smd skills to replace the cpu, you will need to get one from Hans - it has special boot code in its rom.
If not, consider sending it to Jeff W1NC for repair.

Re: QMX Won’t turn on
I’ve tried to power the mic externally, I didn’t know the QMX already provides bias voltage fir that. I will probably try to replace the stm32, if I can source one.

Here’s an idea…
Is Hans going to Dayton Hamvention this year?
How about a troubleshooting class for the QMX and QMX+ product line? Some discussion to common problems and resolutions to the problems. It would be great

Re: QMX Won’t turn on
Hi Stan, thank you so much for your help, after the QMX died , first I thought I damaged the SMPS boards. I replaced them with the good working boards , but didn’t work. I started to thinking that

I came across this video elsewhere - hadn't seen it posted here and thought you might enjoy it.

Looks like a custom bracket to hold the components

Re: Leaving 50-watt amplifier in-line but off
Allison,
How about if I keep the amplifier on but remove the PTT cable.? The amp is on now, but not transmitting, and it's drawing 0.00 Amps.

Re: QMX Won’t turn on
First, a reminder to all:? Please DON'T CONNECT ANY EXTERNAL VOLTAGE TO THE QMX/QMX+ MIC/PADDLE INPUT.
For electret mics, QMX/QMX+ already has an internal 3.3V bias voltage hooked up to the mic input

Re: Leaving 50-watt amplifier in-line but off
Without DC power you have no bias? for the diode switching so its high

Leaving 50-watt amplifier in-line but off
I've purchased the 50-watt amplifier kit, to be built for 80m, and bought assembled the 40m and 20m amps from Ray, VA7SK (very nice solder job, btw); on 40m it certainly makes a noticeable difference

With those settings turned on, you will be getting about 20dB lower of a signal from your mic to the audio path (compared to when the setting is turned off) - so it may be reacting with other

Yes, checked 80m also and it looks the same.
I’ll have to look at phase predistortion, it is currently whatever default is, on I assume?

Re: QMX+ Strange Audio Artifact - Help, Please...
Too bad - I was hoping that L504 or L514 was broken, since they are so easy to replace.
To test L501, the 330uH choke, I would first test it for proper continuity through the circuit card by probing

Jerry,
When I look at the uBitx LPF, its structure is the same as that of a "shunt first" input Chebyshev LPF.? Does that mean it shunts the high frequencies to ground instead of a "series first"
