Re: Radio gets noise on RX when on Battery Alternative Firmware v0.28.0
Just looked at your youtube video. At 21.074 I get birdies at exactly the same place as your noises. However, Not as strong.

Re: X-6100 and Xiegu XPA125B
I run 10w out of the X6100 with the amplifier on, and the pa set to off with no issues. I have not tried with the amplifier turned completely off. I am sure there would be losses going through the amp

Re: Buildroot 2024.11 for R1CBU/R2RFE firmware
Georgy, I understand 100% and, as you can see in the comments here, there are still bugs with FT8 and CW that I need to figure out.

Re: Radio very noisy on Tx on battery
Just some observations:
* Output power with external power supply jumps to 7W, without - only to 5W (looks like limiting)

I guess, I'll use your version in one of the future build, but maybe not for the next one. I'm stuck in refactoring and falling deeper and deeper))

Re: Radio very noisy on Tx on battery
Sounds like RF getting back into the radio. Have you tried it with a dummy load or another antenna? You might need more choking in the cables. I see one on each cable but that may not be
