17 turns on T5 might do it ;) I found that if I tuned down to around 3800 then it was within range, which prompted me to recount the turns on T5 and I found one extra turn under the secondary winding. I'll pull that one out but I bet that's it.
There I go again, airing my dirty laundry :) Cheers, -J On Tue, Jan 16, 2007 at 11:07:22PM -0500, Jeff Kinzli wrote: > A little more investigating...turns out the voltage on R30 is much lower (4V, > +/-) on other bands except 80M.
