Re: SWR
I said Wrong It's better than that. Power is proportional to voltage squared, and we're reading peak RF voltage. With a maximum measurable voltage of 50 volts peak, that's? 50 * 0.707 = 35.35 volts

Re: RadI2Cino - I2C replacement kit for the uBITX Raduino Now with Teensy 3.6 adapter

Arthur, Your kit is probably the uBitx, sometimes called the mBitx: ? ?http://www.hfsignals.com/index.php/ubitx/ ?? But it could be the Bitx40: ? ??http://www.hfsignals.com/index.php/bitx40/

Re: Antenna Impedance Confirmation
Noise level was at least 10 over on the B40, based on how much signal I had to push thru from the service monitor. It was both radiated and conducted. Vince. -- Michigan VHF Corp.

Re: SWR
Problem with the two Nano readings goes away if you tune up the antenna in CW mode. Or whistle into the mike, assuming you can whistle a pure single frequency note. It might sort of work well enough
