Dear all,
Thanks for all the replies, both sent to the group and privately, I feel
I know a little more now :)
As for the question below, it's a current-switching circuit then, the DC
is fed via a choke. As I wrote earlier, changing inductance of this coil
does not change a lot, I settled at more or less the same inductance as
one half of the primary winding.
The output filter coils are made of air cores (screened), with
inductances and capacitances same as in YXM's circuit (54uH x2 +
12/27/12nF). This seems to work well.
I am definitely going to make a new version of the TX in a bigger case
so that the influence of different parts of the TX is minimised and ad
hoc changes are easier than now. At the moment even switching the
secondary tap is at least 5 minutes of work...

Dear Marek,
OK on what people have said about the transformer design. The transformer is
one thing - but what about the rest of the circuit you are using - in
particular, what kind of output filter does the circuit have connected to
the transformer secondary, and is it a voltage-switching (centre tap of
primary decoupled to ground) or current-switching (centre tap fed with DC
via a choke) circuit ?
