Hi, Crit.

That is a good question, but it seems to be the case.  On #358, I'm getting on
40/30/20 meters respectively, 4/3/2 watts or usually a few tenths higher with 12.8
VDC input.  Until I did the alignment on the transmitter (squeezing the coils on L2)
I was getting nearly the same power, but the note on 20 meters was really bad.  It
sounded like it was modulated.  The note was cleaned up nicely with the L2
adjustments, but the power did drop noticeably.

I can't seem to find anything wrong according to the troubleshooting section, so I'm
not worrying about it for the time being.  I'm making contacts on all the bands.
