Hi Win,
No need to cry! The QMX is worth its money! One might have to add: If you are CW operator. Hans said that he would come up with software to allow SSB, but that might take some time. I am pretty sure that this radio will be sold out as soon as the new software is available. So better hurry.
I have built the 20 to 10m version for a multi-day hiking trip where low weight was of prime importance. After all it is the year of the 10m challenge, so I chose the 20 - 10m version. Otherwise I would have built the 60 - 15m version.
I am very satisfied with the little radio and am thinking about building the other version now as the days get shorter. Might be a nice challenge to have one ready by Christmas.
