Re: QDX Rev 2 problem
Adam, No problem with the front end. Perfect waterfall. I have no problem receive but I am questioning the transmit signal. I have to find the post where Hans talked about the transmit audio is not

QMX D508 and D509
I'm trying to determine if i have a solder bridge between D508 and D509 diodes (see pg24 in the manual.) My multimeter is reporting continuity between D508 and D509 anodes. Is this expected or should

Re: QDX Hiband , reduce power to 0dbm for xverter
Hi, I don't think the QDX is a good candidate for doing this, lowering the output power for 35 dB. I would not do it. If so, than you should power it from a +7V DC and add a power attenuator (50 Ohm,

Re: QMX and sidetone
Hi there, if you set the frequency to 14.020 MHz then: - in CW mode you are transmitting a carrier on that precise frequency and you receive on that same frequency by using a beat offset on

Hello Dan I did set up a test jig with an sudden change 6V to more, which I documented here: http://qrp-labs.com/qmx/smpsstep.html With the standard circuit, I tested under various step scenarios,

Re: #qmx Don’t Use USB-C PD to power your QMX?! #qmx
IMO The larger zener is a good way to go for protection against a large input voltage step. It has a nice low thermal Resistance:15°C/W Junction to Lead. For a cost of 58 cents at Digikey

QDX Hiband , reduce power to 0dbm for xverter
Hi guys, As i cannot get the highband qdx to more that 3.5w on the lower and 2w on the higer bands I was wondering if there is any possibility to reduce the power to 0dbm so incould use it as a driver

Re: #qmx Don’t Use USB-C PD to power your QMX?! #qmx
I can certainly see the prudence in a keeping the margin of safety high, so I do understand the recommendation for limiting input voltage. I just don't think this will magically protect the Vcc and

Re: #qmx Don’t Use USB-C PD to power your QMX?! #qmx
Hello Dan Regardless of the curves, it's quite easy to get 5W with 12V supply. I have often operated QCX-mini and QDX well over 12V without difficulty, even on high-bands QDX in very long JS8 overs.

I have built and operated 4 QCXs & 2 QMXs. I have operated the QCXs at 13.5-14.4 V routinely. I have never had a finals failure. Some of this is due to meticulously tuning my antenna for low SWR and
