Re: QDX Transmit Power Drops
An internal short in the transformer would do bad things and
would likely be sensitive to temperature .
It is also a place where its easy to cause said short during

Re: QMX and WinLink/WARA HF settings
I agree with this, it may only be a small thing, but having a little less than 3W output on Vara is great for the finals, but it would be nice if we could adjust (boost/cut) the level of the audio

Super loud clunk after all Dits and Dahs
QMX+, Rev1 board, 1-00-027 Program
I checked the advanced section and all 3 items are set to Enable.
I still have a horrible Clunk when keying the QMX+.
No clunk when not in transmit mode. So I think

Evan,
The? saturated resistance of a mosfet switch goes up with temp...true
The yabut is that the gate threshold goes down with heating.
The latter means for a fixed drive the mosfet switches on

Re: PA mod for QMX+
Hello Gottfried,
Thank you for your help and I did not see your paper until now.
As tinkering on this PCB is not so easy, I opted for simulating the 20 / 17 / 15M LPF with RFsim99.

Re: My QMX is turning off, when I reduce voltage under 10V
Ludwig, thank you for the hint.?Yes, exactly there is something wrong:
Values by decreasing voltage:
Supply (Multimeter)? ? Supply (Diagnostics)? ?Current RX/TX? ? ? 5V SMPS(Diagn.)
12.1 V?

I tried to calibrate three QMXs (low, medium and high band) and a QMX+.
None calibrated correctly.? About half the bands failed early with crazy plots and stopped at close to 1000 on the x

Re: My QMX is turning off, when I reduce voltage under 10V
Stojan, this setting doesn't switch off the QMX, see operational manual.
There is an other problem.
Could you show please screen shots from Terminal - Hardware tests - Diagnostics for 12V, 11V, 10V+x

UPDATE:
i again did a factory reset and then programmed the QMX+ by display and knobs, not via putty.
i saw that is a special "character" for the space sign in the display. Now it seems to work

Re: PA mod for QMX+
Stan,
- If you did not test the filter as installed in the QMX+, you should.
I have already done this. See the attached picture.
Note that though the graph is not exactly flat, the gain excursions

Hi Stan, I've investigated this further. The keyer actually cuts out irregularly even when I'm using it normally with my paddle. For example, I simply held the DAH paddle (on the dummy), and the keyer

My QMX is turning off, when I reduce voltage under 10V
My QMX is working perfect with 12V, but I would like to try 9V to reduce power on FT8.
By lowering voltage with a regulated power supply, qmx is going off at <10V (qmx seems not to be completely off,
