      Good choice, Hank! If you follow the instructions thoroughly, I think there should be no problem building your QMX successfully. Good luck!

    Thank you for this nice video. Regarding your output table, does it mean that you never could reach 5w output on one band ? 73’. Stephane.

      Definitely, I love the sound of it, and once a variable bandwidth will be added to the firmware it will be even better. Just now bandwith is a little broad for my taste, I noticed that in the contest...

    You must have a decent antenna to work stations with 1.5 watts❤

    • @Bluesmother
      @Bluesmother  8 місяців тому

      On 20 m, the QMX+ is putting out 3 watts at the moment. My antenna is a 2 x 13.6 m doublet with an automatic tuner in the feedpoint. And yes, it works really nice 🙂
