Jason,

Hope all is good with your radio.

But if output has failed I have a complete TS520 Power amp assy, which I 
bought to use with my K3/10 (10w version).

No longer needed as I acquired a 100w Elecraft PA and will be building a 
1200w W6PQL LDMOS amp kit this winter.

Let me know if you need it; I'll sell it cheap.

73, ED - KL7UW

I need someone to talk me through matching or baluns involved in the construction. I get the theory, but actually applying it to building one is something I would like help on. I made a tape measure yagi years ago for foxhunts but I want to build a nice one to last and to transmit from.
