Re: any tips for debugging RFI issue?

Mike,
I agree with everybody else that your getting RF back down the feed line, it happens bad on my Par EFHW on 20 meters. Thanks for unwittingly giving me a tip on where to buy my case for my uBitx,

Forgot one...
Painted box, did you clear the pat at the coax connector and use the star washer?
Same for the board mounting standoffs, All of them.

Mike KK7ER,
What form of end fed 1:9 with random wire very bad without counterpoise.
Or resonant half wave (swr under 1.7:1). FYI if not low at the desired frequency
read the manual and tune

Add in 6b : modify the raduino vanilla software to use kd8cec memory manager and get the settings -so you can put these settings in your other nano with the kd8cec software neesing very few

Re: any tips for debugging RFI issue?

You said you are using the coax shield as the counterpoise?
RF pickup on all bands or all bands?
Try changing the length of the LW + or - and use a 1/4λ counterpoise connected to the case.

Re: Harmonic performance - SSB vs CW
Warren,

in square waves and little filtering.
At frequencies below 20MHz the filters at the amp output are the

Re: RFI Problem related by routing audio through K3 (uBitx)?
From what I've been able to find, if it has silkscreened component locations, it's not a PWB, it's a PCB.
Most people use PCB nowadays.

Re: End Fed antennas w/ uBITX

Thank you Warren. Your VNA and 'scope plots illustrate very clearly why in antenna literature, "all band" doesn't mean what most folks would have it mean - it almost always means "lossy". Even

Re: ubitx CW straight key wiring
Wow. I missed that completely by using the front panel PCB that came with the enclosure from amateurradiokits.in.
Seems like with online resources like that, the schematic and wire-up page could get

Re: experience with Sunil VU3SUA's enclosures

I found out that the MH3 mike that came with my KX2 works peachy plugged into the 3.5mm PTT/MIC jack. No wiring, no fuss. The up/down buttons, of course, don't work (they cause PTT), but otherwise,

Thanks, Don! In a surprise move, the problem turned out to be uncarefulness on my part. My confidence was misplaced, since I'd used wrong capacitors in a total of four places: both caps in the circuit

If you can, put in 8.8.8.8 for your first name server and see if that does it. That's google's name server.

Re: click fix and squeal on transmit

When the rig is not powered or in the receive mode there should be continuity from the Rx connection point to 12V. through relay K1 contacts 3 and 5. That is normal. The squeal is not!

Hi there..
do step 3 before step 2. Install that resistor first. Then apply power.
4. The software is already 'loaded'.
After you install in a case you will have left me behind. I am not interested

I will try lowering the drive to see if it corrects the problem but I am skeptical. I first noted the problem when probing TP1 with the PA unpowered. The discrepancy is already visible at that

I just received my ubitx building this weekend on cardboard to see if works.
Questions on steps
1. build on cardboard
2. power
3 place 4.7k in key jack
4 ? do you need to load software?
5. Final
