Before I dismantle this thing one more time, curious if any sage info is available --
I noticed that with a dummy load plugged in, and operating at 5 watts -- I get a reasonable power reading but SWR is around 10:1. It does not change at all as I tweak C1. both outputs from the op amp are reading around 1 volt more or less. both diodes are reading okay with my DVM. both pots have been adjusted for 43k ohms per the instruction.
maybe I damaged C1 is disassembly, or I don't have the windings connected to the PC board - but DVM affirms conductivity so at least one is attached. yes I realize not much in this network, yet something is astray. (no surprise that sensing a high SWR that the KPA won't do high power?)
