A Scopematch shows perfect Volts to Amps balance when the variometer is set to match TX frequency Driver is a QRP Labs U3S, lots of people use these with the output taken straight from the Si5351A device clock outputs at 2X frequency. http://qrp-labs.com/ultimate3/u3s Thanks Stefan > Hi Chris, > Maybe you can show a drawing of your whole PA schematic, including the > driver and so on. I still don't fully see what you're doing there... > 73, Stefan -- Best regards, Chris mailto:dead_fets@gmail.com
