Thanks Stan, this is great. The explanation makes perfect sense to me. I ended up removing three (!) turns from the 15m portion of 401a. I think I could possibly benefit from removing one more. Or

Yes, I have run FT8 and JS8-Call successfully as well with those settings.

Hopefully that isn't too difficult.

Yes, this would be very nice.
Unfortunately, I don't know who would offer their spare time to provide good write-ups of how-to procedures for all of these.

Re: QMX+ RF output fluctuates wildly
