Jeremy,

T4 being off the board should not make any difference. Are you operating into a dummy load that is 50 ohms pure resistive, or are you operating into an antenna? The base K2 needs to operate into a 50 ohm resistive load for good power control and a proper impedance.

If you are operating into an antenna, use your antenna analyzer and adjust your tuner for a 50 +/- j0 impedance.

Hi Don,

The capacitors all look good, and I found one issue with a toroid and
corrected it, but the issue remains.  T4 is wound with proper number of
turns, but wires do overlap some instead of being stacked neatly.  Not sure
if this could cause an issue or not.  T4 is also standing off the board a
bit, rather than being snug to the screws underneath.
