QMX+ is a larger version of the QMX multi-mode multi-band QRP transceiver with 160-6m band coverage; a larger, easier build with space for modifications; internal GPS module option; and CR2032 battery backed up Real Time Clock.
Wow you are a busy guy, thanks all the time you use on the great projects.
I’ve never had so much fun in ham radio! Thank you Hans, thank you
I finished my first QMX radio just days before the QMX+ announcement. I'm looking forward to seeing the new firmware. Thanks for all you do Hans.
I really admire your simple RF lab with instruments that big companies are doing the same jobs but with big fund and same results ...
Thanks for this video Hans. We met briefly in Friedshaffen where I took my QMX+ kit. Everything worked as expected after last solder (almost .... I forgot the jumper wire to connect the BNC to the circuit, and had to catch up the connections to the display....). I already made QSO's in CW and FT8. Great fun. 73's Chris F6DHD
Just placed my order for a QMX+. Can't wait to get working on it.
I just finished building my QMX+ about a month ago I bought at Hamvention last May. It went well (aside from a few swear words along the way...LOL!). I'm using a fixed 5x desk mounted magnifying glass, and I have a stereo microscope on a boom mount that can be positioned to allow work on fine detail if needed. I'm getting 3 to 5 watts output depending on the band. On to the next project: 2 QMX mini's I just ordered and received 80 - 20 and 20 - 10. It was a pleasure meeting you at Hamvention, Hans and working on these projects is a great way to escape the news circus/side show of nuttiness! Mike - ND7E
Amazing work, thanks!
The QMX line is already extremely capable. Really lovely rigs, excellent designs, excellent value for the money. If you can work your magic and get acceptable SSB performance out of it, it will be a near unbeatable kit for QRP, dollar for dollar!
I'm sad that I cam in too late to the game and missed the Palm Radio paddles
Hello, my name is Peyton and I am currently attending college at Missouri S&T. I am studying electrical engineering with an emphasis in communications and electromagnetics. I am an aspiring RF engineer and I currently work for the Electromagnetics Compatability lab on campus. Really, that has been my first introduction to electronics and pcb design. Your many projects are masterful and my Amatuer Radio Club(W0EEE) admires you greatly. Where did you learn how to design high-speed, specifically HF, circuitry and layout?
Once you get SSB working on the QMX ill finally be able to do the 1 pound POTA challenge!
So is the QSX project on hold?
Cool and looks like at STM dev board off to the right, what is its role?
It's for programming the code into the QMX+ microcontroller, for firmware development. All the STM dev boards have an "STLink2" programmer section and I'm using that connected to QMX+ for the code downloading. My QMX+ is "unlocked" so I can program it this way. All shipped QMX+ are locked, they have a bootloader and in the firmware update mode, the QMX+ appears on the PC as a USB Flash drive and you just drag in the new file.
Will SSB be an add on board for existing QMX+ units or will it be an entirely new architechture? I ask because I am looking to make a purchase of one of these in the next week or so and am wondering if I should wait.
It's a firmware upgrade only, and applies to all existing QMX and QMX+. Note that the firmware for QMX and QMX+ is the same (some people missed this point).
I will buy the heck out of one once SSB is added. 73
Nice gear 😊
Tonight at 8 UTC?
Even though it is called “tonight at 8” it was last week at 8. Check the link Hans posted for the recording.
