Re: Switcher boards patched up and running #qmx
I found an analysis of tantal dish capacitors ( https://www.utmel.com/blog/categories/capacitors/various-reasons-for-the-failure-explosion-and-burning-of-tantalum-capacitors ). It's worth reading and

High current draw and a few pecularities
Hello brains trust, Well firstly, on the assumption that Hans will read this - well done on an amazing design.? The more I learn about this radio the more impressed I am. My status is overall pretty

Experimentation is at the heart of amateur radio. Like any science, that's how we find stuff out and twist our brains into different perspectives. Observe - hypothesise - experiment is how I was

Re: DHL lost package
Joe, with this entry you are telling everyone that DHL is a bad supplier. Then you post another message that it's not DHL, but Fedex. If you only read the addresses, you will come to the conclusion

Re: QCZ + Enclosure
Hello Aaron The BaMaTech enclosure was for the original QCX Classic that I retired in 2020 when I launched the QCX+. If you have a QCX+, the BaMaTech enclosure won't fit. If it's the QCX+, then the

Re: QMX suffers zero negative impact from deleting L401 (with measurements)
Hi, I agree totally that the BPF is needed here. Even more selective if there would be room for it. Strong signal will be demodulated at the first non-linear element in the receiver front-end, the mux

Low power output (~0.5W) on QDX. How do I troubleshoot?
I built my QDX a few months ago and it passed all the standard tests with flying colors. IIRC, I saw 4-5w on all the bands I tested, using my MFJ QRP power meter. I built it for 12v, and haven't

Re: BARB's FDT86256
Hello Ryuji You are correct about average to peak power ratio. But this isn't the point. The point is that there are sophisticated RF Power meters that do thermal stuff or measure r.m.s. Then there

Re: Switcher boards patched up and running #qmx
Hans, OK, one more thing. I hope you don't think I'm being argumentative, just exchanging ideas. Ideally, to use ceramics you need several (more than 2) in parallel with some series resistance. I know

Hi Jim There isn't any baud rate setting. It just has no relevance in this context. USB serial communications in FS USB ("Full speed" use a 12 Mbit/s rate but that includes all the USB packet

Re: QMX suffers zero negative impact from deleting L401 (with measurements)
Hi all I don't recommend deleting L401 which will have a performance impact - how much, depends on the circumstances. As previously discussed I don't believe the strong IP3 performance of the QSD

Re: Switcher boards patched up and running #qmx
Hi Randy Congrats on the successful repair and the DX. Do bear in mind, you're in uncharted territories... A 470uF tantalum is 470uF. An MLCC has a considerably lower capacitance at DC than its rated
