Thanks for your input Justin. In my case, the problem was definitely cased by the wrong orientation of the Nano pins, thereby causing a short to ground. Now that I have a new Nano onto which I have soldered pins in the same orientation as the original Nano that came with the uBitx, no further problems. In summary, the problem was not the current draw of the Nextion, but rather the short caused by the Nano not being oriented in the correct direction in its socket on the Raduino board.

Re: Ubitx v4 transmitting moves pll on 10m
Good point about the bypass cap(s). When I first built by uBitX I was getting RF in the audio on 80m, only, and a single cap across the mic line to ground fixed that. Forgot that was still in there.

Re: Ubitx v4 transmitting moves pll on 10m
You may want to add 0.1 MFD caps from each side of mic connector to ground.

Hi Curt.? Yes, this happens to me on 40 m and 17 m, but not on 20 m.? It only happens on digital modes, not on voice SSB.?

I have installed a common mode choke on the antenna coax, and ferrites on just about everything else.? As of yesterday, with careful tuning of the antenna, I haven't had a problem.? I haven't had this problem with my other transceivers, including SDR radios.? I hope you solve your problem.

Arv was very kind helping this utter NOOB.? When I picked the uBITX as my gateway "rig" for amateur radio, I was driven by two principal considerations.?
First, the multiband, accessible, affordable, kit-based uBITX was an ideal platform for me, as a100% new amateur operator, to start to figure out which end is up.? (Still working on that actually, hahah).? Prior to my uBITX exposure,? I wasn't committed to the hobby at all, but I did want to see if amateur radio "worked" for me. Well, the results of that are in. Here I am.
Second, I knew that I would need help.? If there are only three ways to do X, I will find the fourth way, and it will not work -- surprising only me. Hence the anticipated need for some hand holding. And I found that here in this group, and Arv was a pillar.
I offer this affectionate note from June 2019 -- sincere and still true.?
All of this is to say "thank you".
=============
"Dear Arv Evans -- I have just read and re-read your post. I humbly share two thoughts with you.
First, your ability to communicate effectively is unmatched - whoever got you started on writing did one heck of a job. I'm going to study your stuff, well done. And thank you very very much for your eloquent commentary.? You have written a guide for all of us.
Second, you have spot on played out my experience with this group.? As a liberal arts major, I come this very technical field with more enthusiasm than expertise. For example: Based on the sheer volume of spurs/out of band comments, I was briefly obsessed with adding inductors (what ever they are?) and other little doohickeys to get the rig under control.? Then I learned to just keep the drive level down, and presto, I have a fully functioning, computer control, viable wonderful little kit radio.? Indeed, only the folks with issues tend to write.?
Arv, you rock, thank you.
Don"

Hello,
He taught me a lot about Ubitx.?Thanks again

That is wonderful! Now he has lots of time to really play with cool stuff Congrats!!! 73 kc7ttt
?I thought you were going to say he was SK at first...
He will be missed.?
Arv also wrote to me suggesting that this was just around the corner. He is unusual in the way that he can make you feel in safe harbor no matter the nature of the question or statement. Like everyone else, I know that his wisdom and wit will be sorely missed.?

Arnie,
What size Nextion would also make a difference.? If you are using a relatively small Nextion then the super hot 7805 might not be normal.? I have a 3.2" and a 3.5" in my two V6s and with a heatsink on the 7805 I don't consider them to be running unusually hot.? A 7805 is a linear device and it will run pretty warm.
This is just my opinion and have no factual tests to back it up!
