Connecting to the Arduino programming port has caused a lot of RFI pick up in my case, I have to add loops and ferrites ?& ?be very careful to avoid problems. ?If you run into difficulties, turn the power down and see if that helps.

Mine's only a foot long. See eBay #112404983100. If you get some hash on it, perhaps a clip-on ferrite bead would help??

Subject: Re: [BITX20] ubitx case mount question regarding micro USB connector raduino
Thanks for the good feedback!? The cable Jack shows is the one I have on order.? I'm still figuring out where the best place to mount it will be (for both function and looks).? Either on the back panel near the
antenna connector (away from the heat of the final transistors which are mounted to the case but isolated) or on the front panel somewhere or Don's idea of a small slot on the side.? The only problem with the front is the screws will show unless I find another
method to fasten rather than the screws.? I like John's idea of coiling the cable rather than crimping if the foot and a half cable length won't cause any radio interference problems.? Sounds like it must be working OK for you, Jack.? Is yours 18 inches?
Thanks!
