@@KG6YJ Hello OM, I don’t have the Hi-band QMX, so I don’t know. My QMX+ does have a birdie on 21,066.18 Mhz in CW and 21,066.9Mhz in Digi with no antenna connected. I wouldn’t call them super strong , though :) . It would be interesting to know the origin of this “product”, even if it does not make my life unbearable :)) 73! Linas LY2H

@Linas_LY2H Thanks Linas. My QMX hi-band has a super strong birdie at 21.066MHz，with earphones it sounds like 599+30dB or so. My friend's QMX has the same thing. Now I know it's there and just skip. Yes, root-causing it would be interesting. Will buy a QMX+ kit and try. 73! de KG6YJ, Jun.

@@SairentoPīsu Hello OM, thanks for watching! I only use my masts for portable installations, so I have only tested these knots in the field days, park activations etc. Permanent installation is much more demanding situation influenced by many more factors, like the elements, UV radiation, vibrations, quality and composition of the rope, etc. So, it is difficult for me to predict how would the knot behave under all these conditions. I used to have my 18m mast standing for about one month in the field supported by 2 rows of 4mm guying ropes terminated with the taut line hitches, but this is not the same as permanent installation. So, this is not my advise, but you can surely try it out , on your own responsibility, and see, or you can opt for some other mechanical means of fixing the ropes. Please bare in mind that 18m mast is quite heavy and big construction and could be dangerous for people , pets or buildings nearby in case of falling. Good luck! 73! Linas LY2H

@@harryszwergstatt2879 Hello Harry, sorry to hear you have these problems. I'm not familliar with these models you mention, so it is hard to know for me where the app's rejection cause could be. Actually, have you tried it to launch the app connected by the USB cable and the OTG adaptor on the Android device instead of wireless? Also, have you tried both wireless ways to connect, like home network and the IC-705's Hot Spot mode? I have tested the FT8CN on the Huawei, Xiaomi and a no-brand clone of Samsung phones with no problems. Also, I think there is a FT8CN group where people may have been having the same experience as your's with the similar gear. 73! Linas LY2H

@@brianfields4479 Thanks Brian! Well, I'm still struggling with texting on my phone , especially, when it decides to send the message out in a middle of a sentence :) So, if you fine with the phone, you'd be fine with the FT-710 setup too! What is good about these modern rigs is that they only need one USB cable for everything, no need for separate audio cables, soundcard interfaces etc. Yes, the price for this hardware simplicity is a bit more complex menu, but with explicit user manual and so many videos on UA-cam, most questions could be solved. 73!

@Linas_LY2H ok linas, I have just watched someone set up the cw and ssb tx and rx, and boy oh boy it took a long time, and it was unbelievably complicated. About 25 different buttons. To actually tx looked like a nightmare, a 45 minute video and then it was off freq, and couldn't hear the cw sig because the bandwidth would not stay fixed, and 10 sigs were heard at once, so no chance of actually working the stn hi. Think you need to make a stop by step guide to tx and rx cw, then another for ssb. I did like the cw memory, but did not understand why it has mems for txt and then actual cq etc, and you had to bring the whole menu up to access it all , no easy way from the front panel, except buying the mouse. I honestly think, I will receive this radio and find it way to difficult to set up, I will just sell it hi. Thanks for your info.

@ QSL Brian. Well, I haven't seen this horror video :), but normally, the radio comes with all the menus set at default values in the factory and these settings guarantee the radio will work out of the box in CW and SSB. The most user-important menus, like output power, CW speed, etc are all put under one knob, mainly, or are linked with physical buttons on the radio, like Band, Mode etc. The CW and SSB filter bandwith, noise reduction etc is put under another knob. So, it's only 2 knobs and some 4 buttons which bring you to the nice and big menu window on a display with touche buttons in it. Everything is pretty intuitive. Easy-peasy, you'll see! 73!

@SimulatedSkiesStudio Hello Daniel! The sound in my set-up comes through the PC speakers, but it also could be listened to through the headphone jack, as the QMX does have one (in difference to the QDX :) It is related with general sound settings on your computer, depending on the computer itself and the Windows version used. In my computer (Chuwi Minibook) with Win11 running, I need to go System-->Sound-->All sound devices-->Speakers-->Properties and under the tab General--> Audio (Allow apps and Windows to use this device for audio) , click on the button on the right choosing Allow or Don't allow this function. Attention: if you see the button reading Don't allow, it's OK, it means it IS ALLOWED and the button is inviting you to NOT ALLOW by pushing it. And if the button reads Allow, it means it is not allowed at the moment. :)) It is important to point out that ,with these settings, you will be hearing your radio's sound on your pc speakers even with no apps running ( Fldigi or any other) as long as the radio is on and connected to the pc.

@@Linas_LY2H Linas, thanks. Truthfully I'm studying for General and am looking at the Yeasu as my first HF rig=I don't have one yet. But if/when I get it I know I want to use my big (well big to me, 50 inch) computer monitor and hopefully have SDRuno running in a smallish window on the monitor screen. I understand that you can use an external monitor for the 710 but that DVI-D is preferred (even that HDMI has caused many problems with the 710....google and you'll see why). For that luckily my brother has already gifted me an 'ancient' Dell with only DVI-D input. Linas keep up the good work!!

Hi this is how I do it. I do one more step, I tin all the pins with fresh lead/tin/silver solder this helps with the removal of the pins.

@@carelmulder8035 thanks Carel! Yes, your method would have been much better! As it comes to the QMX cover/stand, it's from Thingiverse, author F4EGX, pops up on "QMX" search. Fits also the QCX , despite that box being a bit thinner. 73! Linas LY2H

@@cthoadmin7458 Yes, I agree with you, it could be annoying. The problem can be by-passed , partially, by using the new internal battery pack from Windcamp , which is capable enough of several hours of serious work. And yes, the PP is a nice fix! 73! Linas LY2H.

@@sAsDoCToR Thanks Raffaele! I have no problems with my QMX+ with Fldigi working RTTY. Have just done qsos with IR0RIVT and II3RTRE on 20m :), just testing the setup. I have followed all my recommendations for the QMX setup from my other video and it works well for the QMX+ too. Actually, if you can control the frequency via the hamlib and can see stations on the waterfall and get them decoded, then it should work on TX also , if only the soundcard is configured correctly. One very important thing is to get the Transmit level attenuator to 0,0db, (it's a tiny window in the bottom right corner on the Fldigi screen). All this is shown in my QMX Fldigi video. Please try again! 73! Linas LY2H

@@Linas_LY2H Hi, I read what sAsDoCToR wrote and I have to say that he is right about the fact that the QMX+ does not work in tx in fact mine has the exact same problem, then going to see the guide that you published on how to set the QMX (the small one) with fldigi if we go to minute 14:47 you can notice that the radio is recognized as QDX and not as QMX while in my case the radio is regularly recognized as QMX+ and this is where obviously some problem arises. It would be really appreciated if you made a small video guide on how to correctly set the QMX+ or if perhaps you found differences and if the radio is regularly recognized by your PC as QMX+. Thanks for your videos 73 de IW3ICI, Fiorenzo.

@ Hello Fiorenzo! Thanks for watching my channel. Could you please be more specific on what your problem is? You write, it does not work on transmit. But does your QMX+ work ok on Receive? Can you see and decode stations? Is CAT control working, like, you see the frequency the same on the radio and in Fldigi? Can you PTT? My settings for my QMX+ is exactly the same as for my QMX in the other video. The Rig control is set for the hamlib, and the rig chosen is Kenwood TS-440S (stable). It is very important to check the box "Use hamlib" and "PTT via Hamlib command". In the Soundcart-->Devices settings it is important to check the box "PortAudio". Then in the Capture line and in the Playback line you need to choose the right device from the pop-up meniu, which is "Digital Audio Interface (QDX Transceiver)". It's the only choice, actually. It's OK the radio is recognized as a QDX soundcard , because the digital part of the QMX is actually the QDX transceiver, integrated into QMX/QMX+. So do you see "QMX+" here on your radio? It should be OK too, and this might be depending on the firmware version you run. I run v. 026 and all I say is valid for this version. If you run v.027, it could be different. ( I reverted back to the v.026, because 027 seemed a bit unstable for me, but I have not tested it for work with Fldigi). 73! Linas LY2H

@@Linas_LY2H Hi Linas, I'll try to be clearer, I can tell you that there is no problem in reception, it receives and decodes the stations, even the CAT control works and I see the same frequency as the radio. I confirm that the RIG control is also set to HAMLIB with Kenwood TS-440S (stable) also PTT via Hamlib command, the only thing different from your settings (as in your video) is the Suondcard where in the Capture line and in the Playback line in the pop-up menu, the only "Digital audio interface that appears is QMX +. I have a doubt that at this point it is not a firmware problem, in my QMX + I have version v.027 and therefore I replaced the firmware with version v.026 like yours but even so Digital audio interface always appears QMX + and therefore nothing changes and it continues not to work in TX. 73! Fiorenzo IW3ICI

@ That's good news, actually! I think it's ok if it appears as QMX+, probably it's set so in the newer version of the PCB. The radio is working in principal :). Then, I would check if the transmit is Enabled in the Bands configuration, it's normally Disabled in the new radio. Then, I would check what is the status of the 3 dots on the left side of the radio's display: how many of them you see when radio goes into TX? If 1- there is no signal coming into the radio from the PC, 2- signal is coming but is too low in level. 3-all OK, full transmit power out. So, if the send is enabled in the band configuration menu, I would check if all the sound output levels on your PC are at maximum, it's important for the QDX/QMX . Last, but not least, I would check the Transmit attenuator in the right bottom corner of the Fldigi app, make sure it's at 0,0. Something of all this should work out :)! 73! Linas LY2H
