QMX+ Pulse in headphones on TX
Hi guys I have built a QMX+ Wound for 12V. FW 1_02_000 From the get go, on TX, I have in my headphones a pulsing sound. No tone to it. It¡¯s a fast pace pulse. Maybe 3-4hz. When using the SWR tune

Re: Dreaded dead transmit from SSB Calibration routine
Two comments: 1.? If calibrated at a lower excitation voltage then operated at higher excitation there will be co compensations for the higher voltage.? This is the same as if a calibration does not

Re: Qmx L501 inductor Partially broken
That's too bad.? This is the first one I've heard of with the wire broken from the factory.? Chips off the top are common, and don't affect performance. If the broken wire happens to be from an

Re: Dreaded dead transmit from SSB Calibration routine
No, Mike, you don't want to do that, unless you also want to run the QMX at that lower voltage. This is because the calibration routines store the phase compensation values for voltages across the

Re: Dreaded dead transmit from SSB Calibration routine
Would it help to feed the QMX under update with a lower voltage, so as to reduce the strain on the BS170's during calibration?? For example, if I feed my 12V QMX with 9V, the power drops by about

Re: Qmx L501 inductor Partially broken
Thanks Richard for the reply, but further checking also highlighted the thread breakage. Honestly, I don't understand how it happened to be and it's not cikpa of transport. I'll ask Hans S¨¹uto to

Re: Qmx L501 inductor Partially broken
The consensus seems to be it doesn't affect it at all. If you have the little piece and it bothers you super glue it later. You can search on broken coil etc.

Re: Dreaded dead transmit from SSB Calibration routine
Do not do it if your not comfortable.? Hans said calibration is not required and the unit works fine in SSB without it.

Re: Dreaded dead transmit from SSB Calibration routine
I still fear doing SSB calibration after uploading the firmware. . And won't. Perhaps Hans can suggest safe guidelines to do this, maybe it's a new firmware thing. [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Dreaded dead transmit from SSB Calibration routine
Ludwig, I see. Well I decided to send it off to Jeff (W1NC) to have it fixed. If it comes back working, I will NOT be doing the SSB calibration again, that¡¯s for sure. Thank you for your input. Much

Re: New QMX+ Calibration victim
Hi Ludwig, Thanks for the link. It seems the LPF selection works fine, as voltages are like in the document also for the bands without any significant output power. However it seems that even though

Pacific Antenna mic kit works great!
I just built a Pacific Antenna mic kit for my QMX+ and it works great!! If you need a mic for your QRP-Labs transceiver kits I would look at this unit. Very simple to build and inexpensive. 73/GL
