Ashar, I did your modification which included shorting R83. I was careful to bag and tag all the removed components so I could remove the modification if needed.
I found the power out on 10 meters was 4 watts ( 1.2 watts before mod) and increased as we went down in frequency. On 80 meters it appears that I have about 18 watts out peak. Ran a couple of qsos and got good reports. Looks like this mod is a keeper! Thanks Ashar and thanks for such a good design.
