Re: QMX bad RF filter sweep
Yes, by time, by changing temperature or after some mechanical pressure.
And check please also solder joint from T401 towards IC402 pin 7 for QMX Rev. 1 or pin 9 for later revisions.

Also check that it is still set to the correct band version in system settings

Re: QMX+ SWR sweeps with SSB firmware?
Roger,
This behavior could result from a cold solder joint in T507 or its associated circuitry.? Temperature can change its connectivity.

QMX+ SWR Sweeps FW bug report
I'm not sure if Hans reads every message so I am posting this with its own heading.
I discovered that the SWR sweep test does not actually sweep if the rig is set to use VFO B. Other sweeps seem to

Re: QMX+ SWR sweeps with SSB firmware?
I tried switching back to 1.027 but it still would not sweep during an SWR sweep but then I noticed that the rig was set on VFO B! I switched back to VFO A and it sweeps correctly now!
That seems

Re: QMX bad RF filter sweep
Thanks for the reply! Could the solder joint have gone bad on its own? As I stated, it was working perfectly fine until about 1-2 weeks ago. I'll test it this evening though

Re: QMX+ SWR sweeps with SSB firmware?
Okay, I am running Firmware 1_01_003 ( https://qrp-labs.com/images/qmx/ssb/firmware/1_01_003.zip ) and have run the calibrations, but haven't started adjusting band settings or attempting any SSB

Re: QMX+ SWR sweeps with SSB firmware?
I can tell it is not sweeping when doing an SWR sweep because the external SWR meter holds steady while connected to my 6BTV. If I do an LPF sweep, the external meter swings all over the place as it

Re: QMX bad RF filter sweep
Hi Hector,
alle the values are much to low, around -40 dB for the (real) peaks. It looks like a bad connection in the RX path. Please check solder joint of L401 towards IC402 pin9 for QMX Rev. 1 or

Re: QCX+ Menu 8.5 Ref frq
Hi Pierre. Since you indicated a reference frequency of 25 MHz, Bruce
correctly assumes you have the TCXO option installed in which case you
shouldn’t need to worry about calibration. If you don’t

QMX bad RF filter sweep
Hi! I recently posted about having some bad reception on my qmx after updating the firmware... Well it seems that it is something related to the hardware of my unit.
I checked the RF filter sweep and

Re: RTC battery mistake
The JP218 jumper wires are well clear of the SMA connector, in front of it, not underneath at least on the Rev 3 boards. Maybe this was moved on the later PCBs.

0.8 A is to much.
To start the controller you need Vdd at around 3 V. This voltage could be produced by IC101 but I guess there is a fault in the chain before. Pleas read QMX QMX_plus Startup (
