    Great update. This eliminates the need to bring along an antenna tuner. Looking forward to the AGC and SSB. Keep up the good work. Edit: antenna analyzer, not tuner*

    I assume you meant to say "antenna analyzer", not "antenna tuner." If not, then I don't understand how the SWR measurement function removes the need for an antenna tuner.

    It analyzes the tune of antanna, it does not tune.

    Excellent update Sir! I tried it out on a quick SOTA activation this evening and the SWR readout was really useful when tuning my dodgy antenna. Can't wait for future updates.

    Around 10:30, Q103 / Q104 shorting issue. The FET slipped right off the board when I tried to adjust it. That turned out to be a good thing as I noticed a solder short remaining which I removed then resoldered the device. No short now😅

    Hans, you’ve ruined me… I love the little QMX! Paired with the 3aH 12v TalentCell, my Palm Pico, a tiny K6ARK EFHW, all neatly velcro’d, I simply love it… I’ve even sidelined my KX2 (for now).

One thing though, is there any way I can work wspr without a gps unit. I could'not find any menu item to set the time like your previous digital transceivers. Any advice? 73, TA3LFT

    Great features, you've thought of everything -- as usual. I wonder how you can accurately control PA Vcc. Does it use a PWM regulator under CPU control?

    There's a lot of documentation on the QMX page qrp-labs.com/qmx some of which explains this. There's a 12-bit DAC output from the CPU which is multiplied by approximately a factor of 6 to create the PA voltage accurately. It's extremely linear.
