PeroToday I have finally finished PCB layout of the transmitter! Hurray!! It is small victory as it was the first time I dove into annoying world of Kicad. Kicad is a great tool, I guess, and as anyone here on hackaday.io I really do support its open source/freeware culture, but my gosh is it annoying when you have to google for tricks on how to do basic via stitching. But, now as Eagle has gone to subscription mode, Kicad is a must know for makers and one of the reasons I did this project in Kicad is to finaly learn it.

You got a few of your traces on the secondary side breaking the ground plane under the microstrip. Please tell me that the board has more than 2 layers.
Are you sure? yes | no
Thanks for the report! Yeah, the board has 4 layers and the one underneath the microstrip is solid uninterrupted ground.
Are you sure? yes | no
