Roman, Nicolas
Thanks for the reports guys    Sure was weak Roman, hope stronger on the 
other antenna, but does look like it may have been me.
a little more work to interface the PC, then I can have the system in beacon 
mode more easily.
10dB more power sure does get things warmer. I have killed several FETS, had 
mica caps sweating wax, toroids getting so hot you can smell them and 
insulators on the antenna complaining. The plus side is that I can now 
strike a flourescent tube by putting it within a few cm of the antenna, and 
it keeps going like a light sabre a little away from the antenna.  Oh and 
the signal seems to get a bit further :<)
All good fun
