Re: zBitx Antenna Tuner
The Emtech ZM-2 is the obvious choice for the zBITX.
I have one and it is an excellent wide range tuner that you can built from a kit or buy assembled.

Using sBitx with antenna tuner.
I?m using mine with ATU-10 and it works very nice.
It would be very useful to have a tune button somewhere ?to put out a 5W CW signal.
ATU-10 doesn?t tune above 10W.

An MFJ-971 seems to do the job on my ?Bitx when I’m using a badly-tuned antenna. But not as good a job as nothing and a well-tuned antenna! If you’re aiming for an EFLW, you’ll likely need a

Re: zBitx Battery Holder Length
If the "protected" cells don't fit but you want BMS protection, you could replace the battery holder with something like this. It has a full BMS inside the battery
