Re: QMX died before i got a chance to transmit.
Ok thanks for the reply. It was a talent cell battery with a regulated 12 volt output. I did have the battery meter turned on and it was 11.6 - 11.7 volts. I will wait to hear back from the qrplabs

Re: QMX+ printed assembly manuals
Hi Roy, I try to keep paper free where ever I can. When I was building my QMX+, I read off of the pdf document off of my laptop. I can highlight sections and make notes on the pdf, no problem. Cheers.

Tune SWR on QMX+ always shows SWR <1.05
Hi, I wanted to tune my magloop antenna with the "Tune SWR" tool in the QMX+ menus, and no matter what I do with the antenna, the SWR never goes above 1.04 or so. That cannot be correct, as I'm using

Re: How to enable the internal mic on QMX+ 1.00.02
I presume you mean firmware version 1_02_000 Larry, You cannot enable the internal mic; you must use an external mic.? A future firmware version may (or may not) enable the internal mic.? Currently

Re: Qmx L501 inductor Partially broken
I have no idea, for that coil.? It is very thin wire.? I do know that I have replaced one of those coils on one of my QMX boards - it is a bit tricky since the contacts are on the bottom, so you

Hi Stan, the copper wire seems to me to come from above and then go to be soldered at the bottom. Breaking the wire is compatible with breaking the edge, in that upper area of the solenoid the

Re: CW offset & sidetone in 1_02_00 (QMX)
I have also seen this behavior, which is due to the firmware 'automatically' selecting compatible frequency/filter combinations. Make sure to check out the CW filter description in the Operation

Re: How to enable transmit for winlink
Wow - I've never heard that one before.? Just make very sure it is not moving because of a loose wire connection; that could cause a failure later on.

Re: QMX+ Diagnostic Sweeps of 160m Band
You are correct, that 160m LPF sweep looks fine. So the problem is most likely in the input side of the bandpass filter for 160m.? These are the connections I referred to in my prior post. Since all

All communications to Hans regarding specific orders/problems need to be done via the support system at qrp-labs.com, if I understand correctly. No, the QMX definitely should not have failed after a

Re: Two SMD component questions regarding a QMX+
The coil is fine as-is.? The chipped top does not affect functionality. If the diode is working, there is no need to change it.? But it is a common 1N4148, so easy to find and replace if needed.
