We should have to pay more for this musical intro!!! GLORIOUS!!! Wait a second... watch on the left hand (which indicates a right-hander) but yet keying with the left hand! This is a sign of true genius!!!
Got my QMX on order... can't wait! I have a QCX plus and a QDX that I run headless with a Raspberry PI 3B. It all fits with my 2 EFHW in a small bag. It is pure joy to go out with a small setup that I built from a kit.
Amazing trip to mountains boys. I really love this TA nature. You worked 10 countries over the daylight. Well how many beers you “worked” together in the evenning? 😎 73 Petr
The scenery was beautiful! I wanted to let you know that I use your QDX frequently to make QSOs near and far. I built it for 12V, but modified with the 4 drive transistors potted and attached to a chunky Al heatsink. When I run it barefoot, I often run it at 16V (4 series Li cells) for ~7 Watts. At homebase I run it with your 50W amp (20m only) and dial in the final power by adjusting their respective supplies.
Really looking forward to future firmware revisions to the QMX. The initial one is enough for me to make sure mine is functional but some of the bugs make it uncomfortable to operate so i have yet to field test it. It was a lot of fun to assemble though! I expect ill have just as much fun with the QMX as i do with my QCX!
Where to get the limited edition head phone adapter? hi Cannot await arrival of my QMX. Hpe to meet u in FDH. A joy to see your'e doing well an still having fun aside your Sisyphean challenges, 73
Like the QDX, you can build it for either 9V or 12V by winding the output transformer 3:3 or 3:2 (respectively). I built my first QDX for 12V, potted the output transistors and attached to them a bulky Al heatsink and regularly run the QDX at between 16 to 18V supply for 7 to 8.5W output. I wanted to be able to power it directly from 4 series Li-ion or LiFePO4 cells at ~17V full charge down to ~10V min charge, depending on chemistry. I've put at least 200 hours on my 12V QDX on that range of supply.
What lacks in this radio? Speakerphone, of course. SSB, AM receiving, of course, ability to send and receive digital over analogue signal in SSB with different band filter settings 2,4kHz, 3,2kHz, 4,0 kHz, 9kHz, 10kHz, 20 kHz, and to modulate/demodulate QAM-4, QAM-16, QAM-64 on board.
I guess two Hannes is better than one. Luckily for you, Disney is probably too broke to sue you over the Indiana jones riff. But they might give you a three movie deal....
Now that’s a SOTA! great location, great equipment. Awesome.

I think that the green color, based on the reflection of light off of this, enhances keying speed!!!
@@KO4VNX Hahaha... you got it! This is the dedicated QRQ version, indeed... 🤣

Beautiful, thanks for a look at your home QTH of Turkey.

I thought palm paddles were no longer available?!!! I would buy 3 of those if I could!
Check DL9SCO via QRZ and you will see the light 😎
Looking foward to see a mid band version of the QMX, then I will buy it definitely.
What a great way to spend the day: Great scenery, great company, and ... a great radio!! Life doesn't get much better than this.

It's was a great video Hans. :) I will visit Dalyan 2 weeks later. "Türkiyeden selamlar :)"
Fantastic video Hans - hope to see you again soon OM 73s Ted
Really enjoyed this video 😂
Great to see you and Hannes got out and had some fun together. Looking forward to see you two in Friedrichshafen in 2 Weeks again. 72 Manuel; DL2MAN

Is there a kit for the dipole? ;-) Ordered. Thanks again.
great fun. thanks for sharing
Very good activity from iztuzu beach scene. 73 de TA1MC
I thought palm radio had ceased production. Did they restart production?
QRP Labs and Palm Radio share a booth in Friedrichshaven at HAM RADIO every year. And the sell the Keys.... Expensive, but I love my PalmKeys....
@@dl2man but.. is there still stock?

Interesting that you chose 12V rather than 9V. Has the recommendation changed since QDX for max output power safely?
Like the QDX, you can build it for either 9V or 12V by winding the output transformer 3:3 or 3:2 (respectively). I built my first QDX for 12V, potted the output transistors and attached to them a bulky Al heatsink and regularly run the QDX at between 16 to 18V supply for 7 to 8.5W output.

At least half a dozen Mountain Goats on this activation, but none on the air. 😮

Awesome :)
No stubbed toes, Hannes?
I got toes of steel...😎
👍The goats that featured in the video. Were they Mountain Goats 😂?
SOTA approved! 😄

What a pleasure to see Hannes again ;-) I think I must have a QMX when I'm back from longterm holydays. 73 de OE7FTJ
