Hey Mike - I wouldn't worry too much about those readings - A lot
of people have had similar numbers, see here.
Also check out the It should be banned series of messages by
searching the word "banned" in the search box. TLDR: I got on my
first use of RWTST:
This
is the third QMX I have built, each design improvement
outperforming the last. Now on first powerup and testing RWTST
on 12.00 volts I get the following output into a dummy load as
per putty diagnostics:
40
meters 5.3 watts
30
meters 4.9 watts
20
meters 7.0 watts (amps went from .093 resting to 1.01 transmit)
80
meters 5.6 watts
60
meters 6.1 watts?
Per Hans advice I slightly spread the coils on L513 and got 20
meters down to between 6 and 7 watts. I have had over a thousand
POTA contacts using this rig without problems.
