Thanks Dennis....I'll pull a turn off each of those toroids. (notice the correct spelling)
Aaron....I hate to tell ya why the 882 blew out....BUT, the scope was on my other bench and I didn't have a decent LV power supply on that bench soooooo since I was only getting a 1/2 watt output I thought I'll just crank up the VFO output a bit to get about 2 watts out....that didn't work....I got my 882's from a Chinese supplier on eBay, I think they were 10 pieces for $1.79...took about 2 weeks to get here. I also picked up some 8050's from Mouser last week,,,,just in case.
Suppose to rain here today so maybe I can work on the board and get it going.
tnx for the help
