prevent keying (a P appears on the top line of the display) that due to the high duty cycle, could
damage the Power Amplifier transistors. The QCX+ automatically parses the serial data when the
GPS is connected (without needing to be in a GPS calibration menu in the Alignment menu, or
operating in beacon mode). When the GPS is disconnected, the temporary Practice mode is
automatically disabled, restoring normal operation of the transceiver. Therefore you may simply
connect a GPS, wait for the real time clock to be updated, and then disconnect the GPS. This is a
convenient way to set the time easily, if you have a shack GPS operational.
7.10 Delim.
,
This parameter configures the delimiter character that appears between the MHz, kHz and Hz
parts of frequency or numeric displays on the QCX+ screen. The default is a comma. Now the
operator may select a dot if preferred; for example European convention is the use of a dot as the
thousands separator. Technically you can choose ANY of the characters available in the QCX+
text string selection but, most commonly, comma or dot are expected to be the usual choice.
7.11 Backlight
OFF
This parameter is only applicable to the QCX-mini model, and it controls whether the backlight is
ON or OFF. This setting is saved in EEPROM and is applied at the next power-up automatically.
You may also temporarily control the backlight, without saving the state in EEPROM, by double-
tapping the rotary encoder shaft button.
7.11 Factory rst
Sure? enter 17
This menu item can be used to cause a factory reset. Factory reset returns you radio to the
supplied default factory configuration. Everything is erased and set back to the default parameter
values.
In order to prevent accidentally triggering this drastic step, the factory reset is implemented as a
virtual 2-digit numeric parameter. To cause a reset:
Press the “Select” button to start editing this menu item. 00 is displayed
Use the rotary encoder to change the value to 17
Press the “Select” or “Exit” buttons to enter the value 17, which causes the factory reset
Factory reset takes a few seconds while the entire EEPROM contents are written. After the factory
reset you will see the “Select band” prompt again, the same as when you first power up the radio.
