I assembled my tru sdx a few weeks ago all works well on RX, this evening I started testing TX and I get swr 9.99 on all bands with 50 ohm dummy load and with antenna.
I have checked my solder joints and continuity of the coils and it all seems OK. Any idea what the issue may be ?

Re: Rf board issue swr 9.99
The only thing I have noticed while trouble shooting.
All coils have continuity to ground except for l11 is this normal ?

I have just been comparing the schematic around L11 on my board and it looks like c13 is missing is this right?

Re: Rf board issue swr 9.99
OK so my t2 was wound the wrong way.
Now on a 50ohm dummy load I get the following
3.56mhz swr 1.27
5.351mhz swr 1.76
7.030 mhz swr 2.25
10.106mhz swr 3.79
14.060mhz swr 5.62
Any ideas what could be causing this rising swr through the bands ?

Hi,
The problem is now fixed, it was indeed t2.
The rising swr turned out to be the dummy load.
It was an indctive resistor, when I switched to a carbon resistor I got a swr of 1 on all bands.
