Ok, I found that L4/L10 weren't soldered well.? Now I think I'm getting closer to right thing regarding the diodes, but still not sure they are quite right.
Running 9V, I am getting 7.2V across the diodes of the "off" bands and 0.67v across the diodes on the "on" bands.? However, the RF sweeps are still way off and it is still just transmitting for less than a second if that.
