Hi -- I read the suggested pages, including: https://m0ukd.com/homebrew/baluns-and-ununs/end-fed-half-wave-antenna-tuned-coupler-efhw/? Those are indeed quite simple and apparently effective tuners

Re: RFI Problem related by routing audio through K3 (uBitx)?
The combined effect of the rely mod and? the audio switch mod do help greatly. If the DC switching scheme also used a pair of contacts to pull the floating TX+/RX+ to ground it would help as well.?

Re: RFI Problem related by routing audio through K3 (uBitx)?
ABSOLUTELY! This is a no-no and needs to be corrected on all v3 PWBs. I noticed in the new design (v4) he does not use this T/R relay audio switching scheme.I suspect it was done in part to deal with

Re: End Fed antennas w/ uBITX

Gordon, There is no need to do the testing at high power. I simply terminated the transformer in a 2470 ohm load made up of a 2K and a 470, 1/8th watt resistors in series. My testing is done at a

Wow. Perfectly satisfied with mine. I did remove paint a couple places to insure the case was grounded. No biggie. A LOT of effort and material for a tiny price in my opinion. 73, Bo W4GHV since '54

omitting the word "new" is more accurate. I have purchased several refurbished Dell box PC's with great success. $300 is a great price to pay for this PC.

Re: Spurious RF at beginning of CW transmission in the uBitx
So for BITX40 a diode in series with R111 blocks C11 from supplying Q16 as well. Now supply that diode direct from +12, no on/off of U1 and less current through K1 pin 3. R111 can then be either
