Making the best of a case of insomnia, I took a look at your
repair description.  Super! You aught to be writing manuals.

Nice fix but that sure is lot of iron for only 50 watts on
two meters.  I get that from my new fangled Icom rice box
that is about the size of a 3.5 inch hard disk drive, and it
is narrow FM to boot.  YOurs does look neat, though.
