Re: 4000 mile phone qso on 20m
I spent the first 10 years as a ham QRP and worked the world and I was lucky to have a dipole and vertical (vertical worked better). Now 40 years later I'm getting back in and going QRP w/ EFHW.

Re: Let out the magic smoke...
Be very careful playing on 160m in the uBitX stock configuration. The PA easily puts out over 30watts with the second and 3rd harmonics to join the party as well. You should have a fuse in-line to

Re: Harmonics measured by Warren. How bad?
The problem with relying on tuners to cut harmonics is it is hit or miss. I have a L network tuner I use. Sometimes, on some frequencies, my antenna is in near prefect tune and the matching box is

Re: Let out the magic smoke...
I'll check the finals. I have some spares, just in case. I'd love to be able to control the power out on the uBitX without opening it up and turning a trimmer pot. If it had a control for output

Re: Let out the magic smoke...
Based on what you have told us.? Beats us. Likely finals. First without a load assure yourself the power supply is ok. The easy test for fried finals is pull the wire that power them (and them only).

Let out the magic smoke...
I was tuning up on 160m, and the poor thing went dead. Won't power back up, either. Looks like I need to tear it down and find what mischief I did. Finals? Or power supply? Suggestions from the

Hi Brent, First,I cannot comment on whatever an l-match is unless you an l-network to match the transmitter for 50 ohms. The usual configuration has the inductor in series and the tuning cap to ground
