Re: Max Voltage for QMX 9V
You could put a small buck converter or a couple of diodes in the line to drop the voltage into acceptable range.

Re: Max Voltage for QMX 9V
I wouldn't use FT8, but CW into a well-matched antenna might be ok...

Max Voltage for QMX 9V
Hello,
I have a QMX that is built for 9V. Now I'm making a custom LiFePO4 battery for it. My question is, what's the maximum input voltage that the QMX can handle before it breaks? Given that each

Re: 74ACT08 damaged and LCD is all blocks
Chris,
Not clear what you were doing there.
Strikes me as a very bad idea to apply reverse power to the QMX from your power supply, if that is what you did.
You could wind up with a whole bunch more

Re: QMX V4 will not mount
Hi Jim, wrong, 0 mA in this state and around 200 mA for a part of a second when firmware is running and for the whole time in firmware update mode.

Re: Qmx plus rev 2 not powering up
Hi Azgael, yes, drain of Q102 and VI of IC101 must show the same voltage.
But 5 V at drain of Q101 is strange. If the controller doesn't work the gate of Q101 is pulled to 50 % of "+12V", so here

Han, fine if I could get a little help. And you made good investigations to find the problem, well done! Thank you also for this information.

When left encoder is pressed?
How did you test the SMPS boards, using the method from the QRP Labs Wiki?
When the controller isn't running, LIN_REG_EN is pulled to 50% of "+12V". With 10 V in it

Re: QMX+ "Tune SWR" for 1 second?
Hi Fred
I expect WSJT-X is querying and setting the radio via CAT commands. I
should change that! Consider it added to my list!

Hi Zhenxing
Thanks, I will do that! But if it works, God knows how many other tracks or vias are open or broken.
will be able to do it only tomorrow but will keep You posted.

Re: Qmx plus rev 2 not powering up
Hi Azgael, it seems that you're saying the drain of Q102 is not connected to the input of IC101? If that's the case it might indicate a manufacturing error in the PCB. On rev3, Q102 and IC101 are on
