Re: 60-15m QMX wound inductor attachment question
If my memory is correct, yes. Make sure you have scraped/sanded and tinned all the magnet wire before installation. Use sufficient heat, with a large tip.

Re: QMX+ with WA3TFS amplifier
A mistake on my query - this refers to the QMX NOT the QMX+.
Question then: can the transmit delay be adjusted ??

Re: 60-15m QMX wound inductor attachment question
Hi va3rr,
Thanks for your response. So it looks like in your picture the top left toroid of the 6 inductors I can see the final tun goes through the center through hole. Is this the case for all of

Re: QMX and WinLink/WARA HF settings
It is very strange. As I said when I used Vara sound card settings where QMX was mentioned as output/input device TX power was very low. Than I decided to choose mic and dynamics as input and output

Re: 60-15m QMX wound inductor attachment question
Each turn thru the toroid hole counts as a turn. The toroids must be wound in the direction shown in the manual. Here's some pics of my mid-band QMX.

Re: QMX+ with WA3TFS amplifier
Brien:
Thanks so much for this. I suspected this was the case. I actually jumpered the diode at the relay in the amp to put in transmit mode, and the QMX+ worked perfectly fine. I need to upgrade the

Re: QMX+ with WA3TFS amplifier
If you are using COR function with the amp this will happen as the QMX sees a high SWR while the relays are switching over.? ?If you can use PTT input into the amp and set a TX delay of about 15mS

60-15m QMX wound inductor attachment question
Hi All,
I'm very new to building kits, and radios in general. Working though my 60-15m QMX and I am at step 2.12 where I am winding and attaching L511, L506, L512, L508, L513, and L510 and I wanted

Re: QMX and WinLink/WARA HF settings
Thank you Hans! Yes, I tried to use DiGi by mistake )) Now I tried USB and there is strange thing: it works, but TX power is very low. Peak to Peak voltage is just 3 Volts. When I work in other

QMX+ with WA3TFS amplifier
I recently built the WA3TFS linear amplifier featured in the March QST. The build went very well and with my old MFJ 20M QRP CW radio, 3W in gives 20W out with a peak 4A draw. So, I tried to interface

Re: PA mod for QMX+
Hi Barb
I'm not sure you're comparing like with like. The capacitances of the
FDT86256 are quoted at vDS = 75 V, whereas those in the BS170 datasheet are
quoted at vDS = 10 V. Everything in these

Re: PA mod for QMX+
Brent,
in this case gate capacitance is not the issue as 2xBS170 parallel and one FDT86256 has almost equal capacitance.
The problem is gate driving voltage is low.
