After about four sessions, and lots of coil winding. My mid-band QMX build is now finished. This is an amazing little radio, with more software updates still to come, which will only improve it! The construction is not for the fainthearted as there is no room for error. I build it using a magnifying glass and good lighting and even that was at my limit. It certainly was great powering it up for the first time and running through all the checks to find everything as it should be. Oh joy!
It is paired with a QRP Guys tuner, and a linked End Feed Half Wave antenna. This still required some adjusting to make sure it is resonant on 40, 30, 20, 17 and 15m. A couple more trips to Lee Point will be required! If this proves successful then I might make up some traps to replace the links.
A bug in the software was discovered and Hans has been informed. So good to be able to connect with the developer and have him respond in a timely way.
