Re: Should I be disappointed?
why are you distracted? 5w or 3w or only 1w... qrp is qrp... if you actually have 3.3w or in maximum 5w .... where is the difference and problem?
keep calm and just enjoy your qrp- rig... otherwise

I guess I should have had 3 watt expectations when I ordered. C'est la vie.

Re: Should I be disappointed?
Those look pretty good. Remember this is a QRP rig. The slightly lower output from what you expected will only make a difference in your mind, and will likely help preserve your finals.

List of features:
3-5W output at 12V supply (can be built for 3-5W at 9V supply)
Did I see any figure less than 3 Watts?

Have you got a multimeter Rico?

Tnx Todd,
I’ve checked the soldering after I fitted the coils very carefully because I knew those are delicate.
