Just following up on my progress and to see if Bob has had any luck getting his going again.? I replaced Q1 - Q5 and Q6, all at once.? Power output remained at about 1.4W on a gel cell.??
Speculating from another recent thread specific to low power output in the 20M kits, I removed one turn each from L1-L3.? This brought power output up very slightly to 1.5-1.6W, but no substantial increase.? Output in my 40M QCX on the same power is about 4.8W.
