Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Gene, Change the relays for sure. 3 axicom will do for KT1,2,3 With relay change the spurs decrease with lower 3rd 5th harmonics. You can change L5/7... they are same as original values or close to.

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
HI Raj, Thanks for the info, I have the relays on order. Should I also change L5/7 at the same time? (Exactly what is the L5/7 Change?, Is it a value change or just convert to SMT?) Gene N2IJF

Re: my uBitx Power
I should have said you need to subtract the Tx idle current instead of the Rx idle current. Sent from an iPhone, don't ask whose.

Re: my uBitx Power
You also need to subtract the Tx idle current. You can find this by keying up the mic with no audio input. This current is mainly the bias current in the finals but also the relays and some other
