Jeff Moore W1NC - QMX Rev. 1 Repair
The QMX Rev. 1 that I had assembled some time ago recently stopped working after making many CW and SSB contacts with the beta SSB firmware. By-the-way, the calibration went nicely. No issues there.

Would you share a connection/block diagram and perhaps NaP3 setup screens?? I want to set up a panadapter with my QMXs as well. Any gotchas? Thanks and 73, Don N2VGU

Re: QCX-mini LCD backlight not coming on
Jeremy, if you have 5v on LCD pin 16 and close to zero volts on the drain of Q100, then you need to check continuity from LCD pin 16 to Q100 drain. They are supposed to be connected together. Having

Hi Ron, Thanks again for your quick response. I checked voltages in the LCD pins and I have 5V on pin 14, 12V on pin 15 and 5V on pin 16. On Q100 I have very low voltages on all 3 terminals (0.2V on

I was wrong! I just setup NaP3 and everything is working exactly as advertised. I have a lovely, wide, panadapter and the front panel audio is working for CW bandwidth. Need to tweak an offset or two,

There is a pre-release here if anyone wants to play with it. It assumes you have a Java run time environment installed. https://github.com/sipsmi/qmxwidget/releases/tag/alpha-0-1

FWIW, I removed and remade T507. I had made it with wires B and C being jumper wire, not actual magnet wire. It's now rebuilt and reinstalled, solder joints confirmed, but still now Power.

Re: Use original IC after Firmware Update
Hi Andreas. That issue you had with the fuses most likely deleted the EEPROM file. That file is proprietary and not published. You will probably have to order a new chip from QRPLabs to get going
