Re: Here's hoping for QMX+ v2
I wouldn't be too concerned about Hans workload. Think about it. He has over 10,000 QCX-and-family radios out there and they all work "right out of the box". This includes the "standard" QCX, the

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

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.

Samantha,
For portable use, doing everything through the front panel and and the small display there keeps power requirements low.
May be possible to do all you want by adding an RPi-Zero and a

Bruce, my QMX arrived a few months ago into Connecticut via DHL without any brokerage fee.? I wonder if this falls under De Minimis (no tariff) which may mean no brokerage required either.? From

Jim,
It can be done before mounting the display board to the front panel. That's what I did. Doing so requires a little thought and a couple of extra assembly/ disassembly to make sure everything will

Matt, be happy with what you have. The levels you report are very typical of the QMX line. No one will EVER tell the difference between 4.5w and 6.1w. The difference is miniscule. And, no one in the

Hi Don,
I didn't want to be invasive and have the risk of breaking something in the QMX to source a 3.3v line. I will stick with the 3v battery pack.
