Ken, Check the position of the orientation dot on U1 - it should be pointing toward the center of the board. If you got it in backwards, it will not work. I doubt if you can desolder it without damage, but you can clip the leads and install a new one in.
Check the schematic, the circuit is straightforward, and there is little that can go wrong other than the orientation of the diodes and the MMIC. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I built the N-gen and the noise does not increase like it is > supposed to.
