As a linux user the whole problem of drivers is actually transparent for me. For Win10 it was a major pain and I went with a (real not clone) FSTV232-3v3 cable to sidestep the whole thing.? It

There is a design out there to use any Arduino as ICSP ( I have one I made up) and that can be used to load a boot loader or entire program as desired. Also I have a commercial in circuit programmer

Intermodulation Performance
I am unable to achieve IMD products at -30 dBc or better at any power level above 2 watts. I have searched this board and do not find IMD measurements. What Is the consensus on acceptable IMD levels

Advantage of Spice simulators is that you can define, or re-define, the parameters of a specific component, or components. Almost everything is programmable. This lets us use Spice simulations for

Re: QRP SWR meter recommendation?

Sorry guys. A Typo on my ZM-2 recommendation. If you ¡°do not¡± need a metered SWR display. The tune to a dim LED works great except in direct sunlight. In this case I use a small shade.

Re: QRP SWR meter recommendation?

I would also recommend the ZM-2 tuner if you do need a SWR meter reading. It has a resistive bridge to protect your rig, very fast to tune, and the range is amazing. You could likely tune to low SWR

Hi Mike, The tuner itself does not care how much power you use to 'set' it as long as it isn't *more* than it can handle. It is not impressed if your TX can pin the needle or not. If your uBitx will
