Low and High Band QDX for Sale
I have a Low Band and a High Band QDX I would like to sell. Both were tested on 9 volts and a Lipo Battery, 13.3 volts into a dummy load and tested on an antenna for spots. I have only used these as

ABS for QMX+. Battery/charger design improvements over version 1.1 #PSU #QMXplus #ABS
Cal, Stan, Could you draft your schematics on a piece of a napkin and submit a photo? I am not sure I am visualizing your ideas over the messages? -- 73, Sardar (AC8L, 4K6SA, VA3DUA).

Re: Automatic Antenna Tuner, Internal Battery with a charger and built-in speaker for QMX+. Open Source.
To me - version 1 design is frozen :) Unless catastrophic discoveries are made with new PCB's that less likely :) However, we should continue improvement discussions - that is the sweatiest part of

QMX mid band 60m tuning problem
My new QMX has a strange tuning problem on 60m only. It is not encoder problem. Tuning has pattern that it follows and it is repeatable. You could see it on this short video:

Re: Automatic Antenna Tuner, Internal Battery with a charger and built-in speaker for QMX+. Open Source.
Quoting myself (again)...and hopefully more accurately asserting: The BMS is not a charger. The Drok regulator AND a suitable power source provide the missing charger functionality, as might the

Stan, RR--I'm not going to cut the center pin from MY main board! I'm quite happy with my power cord inline Drok adjustable regulator solution to these problems. With the correct settings on the V and

Another solution that we could consider is to put a suitable diode on the companion board, feeding into the + terminal of the BMS.? The other end of that diode gets hooked (using an 18 guage or so

Re: QMX+: RWTST how to wind T501
The 3:2 transformer has two symmetrical windings. One, the primary has 3 turns, the other 2 turns.

Re: Automatic Antenna Tuner, Internal Battery with a charger and built-in speaker for QMX+. Open Source.
With LM386 instability (which I have run into over the years), the series RC has to be matched to the speaker of interest. Some standard values such as 10 ohms and 0.05uF as indicated in the data

You are correct in your statements regarding the photos.? It is symmetrical. The 3:2 comes in the following steps, when you cut the twisted loop (becomes the two ends of the primary), and re-twist

Hi Sardar, please don't get my above comment wrong. I fully agree with you, it's a low cost, low effort solution, which can work for most cases. I just wanted to mention that this is not a "consumer

Great save.? You have nice tight winds on that transformer.Perhaps a bit more than the recommended 3 per centimeter being enough.? I too snapped a wire on that assembly on my first QMX build. I did
