Okay. Here's what I've got: I came home, turned on the ubitx which is still hooked up to a proper antenna. I set up my other radio, and stuck a 12" piece of wire in its antenna coax spot. I then keyed

Does it matter which side of the cap the antenna/lead is hooked to? If I were sitting at home instead of at work I'd probably just try both, but since I have a computer but not the radio here... And t

Actually, I was going to post this as a separate issue, but in the PA bias step my initial reading was outside the range mentioned in the directions. With both bias pots at fully clockwise, I measured

By PA supply wire, do you mean the wire to the speaker/headphone jack? If so, yes that's hooked up. It's working as a receiver (i.e. I'm copying activity on the bands) playing through a pair of headph

It does indeed receive. I'll check out the toroids, thanks. It's funny you mention that as they looked a little flattened when I opened the kit. Joe

Should have noted: the radio does go into tx mode when the PTT is pressed and when the key is down.
