Decoded CW: The remaining space on the bottom row is used for displaying the decoded
CW text. When RIT is zero, and you are not operating SPLIT or displaying the realtime
clock, the whole 16 characters of the bottom row are used for the CW decoder display.
When adjusting RIT or keyer speed, only the right section of the screen is used for decoded
CW. The CW decoder may be disabled in the Decoder configuration menu.
Real time clock: This can be enabled or disabled, and if enabled, is shown at the bottom
right in HH:MM format; it can be set manually or via GPS serial data stream parsing (UT).
4. Operator Controls
This diagram shows the operating controls of the QMX. There are two rotary encoders at left and
right, and two push-buttons in the center. The main function of the left rotary encoder is Volume
adjustment, and that of the right rotary encoder is Tuning. However, all of the controls have
multiple functions, depending on the operating mode, menu editing, etc. The rotary encoders both
have a button on their shaft activated by pressing the knobs, and these buttons also have multiple
functions.
Most importantly: Press the left knob (VOL) with a single firm long press, to turn on or off
the radio!
The two central buttons are used during menu editing primarily for “Select” and “Exit” functions
and may be referred to in this manual, as the “select” and “exit” buttons. Select edits a menu item
or steps down into a sub-menu; Exit saves an edited menu item or backs up to the parent menu.
