When it completely quiet in the room it does give hearable hum

But apart from that it performs way better than i expected.

You are a brave man

, looks to me like the mains wire is scraping on the edges af the chassis

( i have'nt even built one yet, hard to get near components where i live

)

i dident have any of those black plastic cable pulling retainers n the right size, dident check before drilling

Tho i could drille up the hole alittle and use a retainer and a round cable or simply a connector.

Isn't that pot a bit toooo close to the tx?
Hmmmm.

These toroidial transformers doesent give off mutch noise, tho i could take a piece of plastic coated steel and put between the tx and input cables/pot but i doubt that will make a diff. I ut the pot there because the hole in the front was already drilled there. This chassis contained a mono amplifier from the magazine elektor when i got it, it was crappily made with almost every solder joint off board was cold solders and the main ps caps was only mounted loosely with some steel wire so i scrapped it.
