Hi Neil,
I have the same problem when transmitting on my 20 meter EFHW antenna. The problem is too much RF near the radio. If you install a 1:1 common mode filter choke on your antenna feed line that

Re: Speaker Jack
Don,
I have to apologize here. Wiring the positive lead to the tip and the
ground to the ring does put the two headset speakers in series via the
two ground wires that are connected together. I

Re: B40 LM386 and ?B TDA2822 and that 470?F Cap
I wired the two wires to the plug so they contacted the tip and middle element of the 1/8" stereo jack. That way my monaural or stereo connections both work fine. On the stereo the base ring never

Re: B40 LM386 and ?B TDA2822 and that 470?F Cap
Hi Tim! So to clear this up. So wire the "tip" only and use a 1/8" stereo to mono adapter for stereo headphones right? (That would work as a safe solution. Not saying it is the only one.)

Re: B40 LM386 and ?B TDA2822 and that 470?F Cap
Mike,
How do the two speakers in a stereo headset get wired in series?
Usually the positive lead from one goes to the tip and the positive
lead of the other goes to the ring. Then they have common

Re: B40 LM386 and ?B TDA2822 and that 470?F Cap
Thomas,
You pretty much nailed it. And there is an isolating capacitor on the
output, a 470uf one. It's a point I hadn't considered. The problem is
that when you connect that capacitor from the

Re: B40 LM386 and ?B TDA2822 and that 470?F Cap
1. It doesn't matter what you would tell someone to do. What matters
is the wiring instructions provided for the radio.
2. Connecting the positive output to both the tip and the ring is not a

Re: Speaker Jack
You do realize than an 8ohm resistor in series with your 8ohm speaker
will cut your volume somewhere in the range of half, right?
Do you have enough volume output to be able to cut it in half?

Re: CW S/N ratio problem
I'm assuming you're using a good antenna.
The noise figure of the front end should be comparable to that of most rigs. In such a case, naturally generated background noise on active HF bands below
