PrepComm MMX TearDown – Keyboard CW?
PrepComm MMX TearDown
The MMX Multi-band Morse Code Transceiver is the evolution of the DMX-40+ Morse Code Transceiver,and includes the keyboard! It has the same industry-leading decoder, the same high sensitive SDR receiver, 10 frequency memories per band, RPL microprogramming for custom automation, and more. However, what is added is a band board plug-in system that supports up to 3 bands. Currently, the supported bands include 80, 40, and 20 meters. You can purchase a single band MMX, and add other bands later, purchase a dual band MMX, and add the third band later, or even get all three bands on your initial order!
Specifications are similar to the DMX-40+, such as receiver sensitivity of -119 dBm. Power output is highest on 40 meter, and slightly lower on 80 and 20 meter bands, as listed in the Specifications tab in the right column.

SDRplay SDRconnect demo at Friedrichshafen 2022
This video shows the demo we showed at Ham Radio 2022, in Friedrichshafen, Germany. This demonstrates the core underlying technology behind what we’re calling “SDRconnect” “SDRconnect” is the new name for the multiplatform version of SDRuno (up till now we called it SDRuno V2)
We demonstrated the completely rewritten Core DSP engine for Spectrum and Waterfall displays – with the prototype software running on a Raspberry Pi computer. We also show the networking capability by remotely accessing an RSP based in the UK.
This is still an early stage demo, and the software team have a lot to do to complete the graphical user interface.
Work is underway on the new graphical user interface which:
• Retains the style and popular features of SDRuno
• Offers a more consistent and intuitive layout
• Addresses fixes and improvements suggested by users ever since SDRuno was first adopted.
SDRplay plans to release the first version of SDRconnect before the end of 2022. SDRplay is promising that SDRconnect will fully support the older obsolete RSP2 and RSP2pro products, although the original RSP1 (phased out in 2017) will not be supported by SDRconnect. (SDRuno V1.42 will continue to be available for RSP1 users).
The new graphical user interface will bring a lot of advantages based on what users have been asking for – like more consistency in the way panels and menus are organised making it more intuitive and easy to use, and the ability to lock panels together.

Mini DIGITAL PWR / SWR meter review
This is the review of a Mini portable PWR and SWR meter with built-in battery and High SWR warning buzzer. There are also the Xiegu X6100’s output power measurements in the video. Another purpose of this review is to explain for beginners how to measure SWR on the antenna and ouput power from transceiver with this or any other similar device.
Frequency range: 1.8mhz-50mhz
Measurement range: 0.5w-120w (up to 210W, long-time FM, am, CW mode is recommended to be less than 120W, SSB mode is optional)
Measurement accuracy: <± 5%
Standing wave range: 1.0-99.99
Access interface: sl16 (block m)
Charging interface: type-C
Aluminum alloy shell size: 63mm * 88mm * 38mm (excluding protruding parts)
Battery capacity: 1000mah
Insertion loss: < 0.1dB
Charging shows red light, full green light and working yellow light
When the standing wave is greater than 2.5, the buzzer prompts intermittently
If the standing wave is greater than 3.0, the buzzer will prompt continuously
Battery undervoltage, buzzer continuous prompt
