Hi Glenn,

The second board comes with the kit. It is a post-amp on the output of the
converter to give it some additional gain. It was not apart of the original
design. Chuck explains in the doc that one or more of the beta testers
noticed it lacked some "oomph." Chuck says he noticed that a similar
converter designed by Lyle (K0LR) had an output amplifier and Lyle gave him
permission to incorporate the amplifier in his design. If you go to the
Jackson Harbor website you can download the schematic and all documentation
before you purchase the kit. The converter page is located at:
