With Q7/Q8 removed, the resistance from the Collector solder pad to ground on both is 70 ohms.
Doing a "Tune" with Q7/Q8 removed results in 1.0V on the Base pads and a Low P on the display. I do have the KAT2 installed, just in case this makes a difference. This was done into a dummy load. The antenna that I normally run is an 80m Carolina Windom strung up between a tree in my front yard to a tree in my backyard. I have no additional grounding to it, just the baluns that are part of the normal antenna design. I am very cautious of lightning in the summer, and leave the antennas disconnected when not using the radio, however given that its winter here and sub zero temperatures, I didn't worry about it. I had never heard of static caused by the wind. What is a good way to protect against this?
