Re: QMX CW issue, omits dits
Michael,
Just put a common mode choke 10 feet from your rig in the antenna coax line. I have had RFI cause all kinds of strange interference with my experimenting with all my QRP rigs. I have found

QMx+ 6 m birdies
On the WSJT-X I have birdies or whatever they are, which I don't have in CW mode I do have this continuous tone over the whole band as reported before.
What can that be?

Re: First attempt at WSJT-X failed
Stan,
The current thinking is to run the ADC as high as possible without it actually being overloaded. (The bar goes red.)
I have the feeling that this is theoretical, I've not seen any research

Re: Available Hand Mics for QMX SSB ?
I have yet to try the K6ARK microphone that I assembled using this mic as well.? Good to know that if it isn't performing quite well enough that it might just be a swap to get better performance.?

QMX pre-build 97775 has arrived
Hooked up power, speaker, paddles and antenna.
Powered it up, looked for and found the VOX and turned that on, looked for and found how to change from straight key to paddle, changed speed to 17 wpm,

Per first question, I checked for Q103/Q104 short while building as Hans described in video.
Looks like I have Q104 and Q106 both dead.
Once I picked drains of both off PCB - I can pass at least test

Stan,
Thanks for the tip on using the QMX at 1/4 power to set the tuner after a band change. That works and now I don't get the dreaded "S" after the frequency.
I don't intend to use the QMX in the

Re: QMX and power bank PD
Ian,
I've been running my QRP rigs at 12V from a number of PD sources using multiple trigger cables, batteries and power bricks, some for up to 2 years now with no difficulties. Glad to hear you are

Re: QMX+ with 100 amp/hour lithium iron battery
Bruce,
I do encourage people to know what they are doing.
It's good we have this conversation to alert them of the dangers of large batteries.
Most of us think nothing of barrelling down the road at

Re: Help with partially fried QMX
You are correct (as always), Ludwig.? I didn't think of that.
In this case I don't see any risk in removing the 3V smps, so that you can measure the voltage on PWR_HOLD without the processor

Re: First attempt at WSJT-X failed
This is likely due to your use of the antenna tuner while transmitting at full power.
When that ATU switches its relays to find a match, it presents momentary 'high SWR' to the QMX, causing it to go

Re: First attempt at WSJT-X failed
Yes, you can change it using the audio level control in the Band configuration screen (via the terminal interface). It is set on a per-band basis.
But I don't think you should.? WSJT-X authors

Re: Help with partially fried QMX
