Scott,

I am sorry that it is necessary for you to repeat things to me.  My memory 
has improved, but still has holes in it.  For some reason, I keep re-solving 
the problems instead of remembering the correct answers.  Please bear with 
me, and I am sure that you will be able to guide me to a working amp at 1W 
ierp.  I just hope it happens before I drive you nuts.

Ok... first, I need to get your amp going  and get the new problem worked 
out of the overcurrent circuit.  The newly wound output transformer did not 
get a chance to transmit today. The transmitter was powered up by first 
turning on the 5 and 12 Volt auxiliary supplies, and the LED immediately 
came on, so the FET supply was left off until I can find out what is wrong 
there and fix it.

You mentioned that noise could be causing the overcurrent circuit to act up. 
Should I try putting bypass capacitors to ground on the 5 and 12 Volt 
inputs?  This may reduce possible noise from the power supply lines.

When the amp works into the dummy, the tap is adjusted for 100 Watts output, 
or else I drag out a blanket with which to make smoke signals.

Thanks...

J.
