Re: Here's hoping for QMX+ v2
I have to smile when I keep seeing requests for more power, surely the answer is in the name, “QRP Labs”.
Notwithstanding the 10W and 50W add on amplifiers, surely the radios themselves should

Re: Here's hoping for QMX+ v2
I've had some discussions with Hans about what it would take to produce a very useful user-friendly digital communications "appliance" based on the QMX. I think that one way to implement this would

Re: QMX+
Jim, so something was wrong in this area. Maybe you fixed not all. A missing connection is bad and also some unwanted connection between pins. Such an unwanted connection between neighbour pins may

Maybe the reason he blew up the BS170s during calibration is because Q507 was dead already.

Steve, I'm not sure about the BS170 but 99% sure Q507 is dead (only some silicon wire).
Yes, a broken BS170 could affect Q507. There is a small possibility some parts to drive Q507 are broken but

Re: QMX+
I’m fairly certain all the pins are soldered on both sides. My question is why the display is “corrupted”. Processor must be working to some extent.

Re: Here's hoping for QMX+ v2
With appropriate STM32F firmware, Hans need no further involvement in developing that RPi-Zero+Display.
Something interested forum members could do.

If you're trying to get the under 5 W bonus in a contest and you know you're running 6 W that's at least an ethical problem.

Re: Here's hoping for QMX+ v2
zBitx current on receive is 300mA, so I tend to agree with you, Jerry.
OTOH, the QMX is my preference for portable work due to it's smaller form factor compared to the QMX+. I'd be concerned about

For portable use, doing everything through the front panel and and the small display there keeps power requirements low.
