QMX+ thinks my paddle is a GPS unit


 

Intermittent and definitely very weird. My QMX+ thinks that my Begali paddle is a GPS unit and
will display the letter "G" right after the frequency display. Thinking that this meant ground fault,
I switched the paddle out for an older Bencher unit and the problem went away. I suspect this does
have something to do with a grounding issue on my Begali, which I will look into later, but I thought
I would report this now just in case anybody else experienced the problem.

G is GPS Protection and usually comes on if RF is causing issues.?

I've encountered the same issue multiple times with my QMX. The GPS protection kicks in while transmitting CW. No idea why this keeps happening but it messes up the QSO. The issue temporarily goes away when I plug out and the plug the key back in. Is there any harm in disabling GPS protection??
?

Did you configure the QMX+ to listen to the internal GPS module? 'System Config'/ 'GPS Source' set to 'QMX+ Internal'


 

Glad I'm not the only one who has seen this issue. Potentially the issue was caused by the way?
i had the cord from the key routed to the QMX. When I switched keys, I changed the routing of
the cable. Yes, my QMX is setup for GPS internal.

Yes, I have set the QMX to receive GPS from the internal source. The more I think about this, the more
I think the problem was with the routing of the cable from the key to the QMX. By changing out the key
I also changed out the path of the wiring.

Is your cable to your paddle shielded?
