Go back and CAREFULLY read what I wrote about bonding everything together by
SHORT, FAT COPPER. That means a foot or two of #12 run DIRECTLY from the
computer to the radio, another from the computer to the DigiKeyer, another
from the DigiKeyer to the radio.
Done.  It's braid from each component (PC, PS, DK, radio) to the
copper bus bar on the back of the shelf and braid to the rod outside.


Not quite. Taking each piece of gear to that bus bar adds length, which adds both resistance and inductance. The ideal is point-to-point.
