[Elecraft] XV144 - power out with no drive

[Dave Sergeant]

Not in my XV50 built a couple of months ago.... Note that there is 
already a 0.01uF across the source of the CO line, C71 on the RF board 
(the signal is confusingly called OD on that board).

I did see the flashing lights once while I was aligning it but have not 
used the transverter in vengeance yet so time will tell whether I have 
this issue.
