Spice and other programs and manual calculations may be exact, but components are not. Reminds me of when I was in college and doing labs. The school had boxes that had components on bread boards. We

Bo, Spice may say one winner but your model is wrong. The issues Too low FT, 3904 has ft of 300mhz,? some seemed less so. HFE that depresses at higher currents.? Spice models are not valid for that

Re: Power distribution
Jeff, Also check the emitter of Q90 to see if a .01uf or a 470pf or 220PF is there. There was a change to lower the value from .01 to 470 pf to level the output power so 80M wasn't 15-20W when 20m is
