This listing is for a board kit only.
The Almost-All-In-One is a compact, versatile PCB that plugs directly into the headphone and paddle jacks of the QRP labs QMX and QCX transceivers. The board relocates the 3.5mm jacks to the side while tapping into these circuits to add amplified audio output and various inputs. This lightweight modular board serves as a platform for many possible configurations.

This DIY kit features all through-hole components, making assembly straightforward for most experience levels. Every QMX/QCX radio is hand-built, meaning individual units vary slightly in the alignment of their 3.5mm and power jacks. Consequently, an assembled AAIO may not fit multiple radios. Using a single AAIO on a different radio can cause significant stress and premature failure of the input jacks.
If you own multiple QMX/QCX radios, you have three standard options:
- Build one AAIO for one radio, then de-solder and realign the 3.5mm jacks on your other radios to match the previously assembled AAIO.
- House the radio and AAIO together and don’t use the 3.5mm plugs.
- Build a dedicated AAIO for each radio.
