I deployed the speaker-wire doublet again in an inverted-V to operate 1W on 20M. It ran NW-SE, and I used the 4:1 <em>and</em> a 1:1 current balun on the coax. It tuned well in 20m, and caused no USB disconnects! My 1W FT8 signal was heard in France and Spain.</p> <p>The Evolve 3 keyboard had some dead keys: w t. It doesn&rsquo;t seem I can fix that, so it may need to be replaced.</p> <div class="gallery caption-position-bottom caption-effect-slide hover-effect-zoom hover-transition" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageGallery"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://kd3ee.johnflinchbaugh.com/css/hugo-easy-gallery.css" /> <div class="box" > <figure itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject"> <div class="img" style="background-image: url('https://kd3ee.johnflinchbaugh.com//img/2025/2025-12-19-pota-1.jpg');"> <img itemprop="thumbnail" src="https://kd3ee.johnflinchbaugh.com/img/2025/2025-12-19-pota-1.jpg" alt="doublet"/> </div> <a href="https://kd3ee.johnflinchbaugh.com/img/2025/2025-12-19-pota-1.jpg" itemprop="contentUrl"></a> <figcaption> <p>doublet</p> </figcaption> </figure> </div> <div class="box" > <figure itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject"> <div class="img" style="background-image: url('https://kd3ee.johnflinchbaugh.com//img/2025/2025-12-19-pota-2.jpg');"> <img itemprop="thumbnail" src="https://kd3ee.johnflinchbaugh.com/img/2025/2025-12-19-pota-2.jpg" alt="4:1 balun"/> </div> <a href="https://kd3ee.johnflinchbaugh.com/img/2025/2025-12-19-pota-2.jpg" itemprop="contentUrl"></a> <figcaption> <p>4:1 balun</p> </figcaption> </figure> </div> <div class="box" > <figure itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject"> <div class="img" style="background-image: url('https://kd3ee.johnflinchbaugh.com//img/2025/2025-12-19-pota-3.jpg');"> <img itemprop="thumbnail" src="https://kd3ee.johnflinchbaugh.com/img/2025/2025-12-19-pota-3.jpg" alt="setup"/> </div> <a href="https://kd3ee.johnflinchbaugh.com/img/2025/2025-12-19-pota-3.jpg" itemprop="contentUrl"></a> <figcaption> <p>setup</p> </figcaption> </figure> </div> </div>
