Hi Nick,
I've checked the relays and they are working OK as far as I can tell using
my multimeter. I would say that it's only a little deafish - but 20m has
been so poor it's not easy to tell. But I have a decent watt meter and am
getting 3 watts on 30m and 40m but 2 watts on 20m. Construction

On 30m and 40m all is well - noisy on RX and 3 watts output.
On 20m something's not 100% - not so much general noise and only 2 watts
output.
I have eliminated the ATU from the equation.
I'll now read the fine book again but I think I
Others will have more extensive suggestions, but one easy thing to check
is whether you have set it to LSB RX, which produces a marked quietness
on 20M.
As for TX, 3W and 2W sounds about right for 12v. Some folks get a
little more, but not much. You will also get more at 13.8v, of course.
