START UP INSTRUCTIONS FOR A REV 2 QMX+

 

Dear gang,

I have finished building my QMX+ Rev2 ( my QMX+Rev 1 Never made it to operation).

Right now I am a little gun shy of turning Rev 2 on.?? I did buy one of the power supplies that freezes the current
output so you don't blow it up turning it on, But I have not had the guts to hook it up just yet.? The Operations Manual talks more about the QMX than it does about the QMX+, so it has some good general information but
the QMX+ to me is a different breed of cat.? Is there someone in the group who has written or video'ed the
basic light off procedure for the QMX+.?? I have gone over the PC board multiple times looking at all the solder
connections and went over the parts placement plus when I was building it, I read the part numbers 3 times
before I soldered it in.? I made it carefully through the build without having installed the wrong part in a spot.?? So if someone has an outline of steps to go through in the initial power on of a completed QMX+ Rev 2, I would really like to study it and see if I can get mine going.

Thanks for the help,

Assuming you have gone through the manual final checks then
7 volts max
250ma current limit.?
If it draws that much or more shut it off and do not turn it back on.?
If it lights up and boots you may be asked to turn the tune knob and select the correct radio/push.? 160m-6m the rest is automatic.?
 

Just to add to this, don't panic if the screen is blank upon power-up, you'll likely have to adjust the contrast with the little trimpot.?
