With a potentiometer base Q70 to ground I could get 6 volts with it.? It picked up a hum though when I did that.. maybe due to the potentiometer and long alligator clip jumpers I was using.? So that might mean the transistor is good?? Mine needed 11.18k tp get tp 6 volts.
I tried also testing with a low signal not connected to the ubitx just generated nearby and it didn't seem to amplify it at all by holding the potentionmeter base to ground just had that additional hum.
So sounds like I could add a resistor to stabilize if that doesn't add the hum perhaps.
