[hpsdr] Penelope has no power output

[Steven Wilson]

I've had a Penelope board for about 4 years - and FINALLY have 
everything required to try and use it, i.e. The Alex boards, etc. There 
is almost no power coming from the board yet the LEDs lite up on the 
board indicating power - and track with the Drive slider?

What I've tried:

1) With Alex board in the system and connected to a power meter/dummy 
load - The auto-calibration routine doesn't complete and complains.
2) Removed the Alex transmit filter and wired the meter/dummy load 
straight to Penelope - went to CW and moved the slider back/forth. The 
LEDs on the board lite/dim as a function of the slider, but the meter 
doesn't move.

In looking at the available literature I've found that I have T2 
reversed. I'll be trying to get that turned around but must acquire 
adequate tools to do the job. In  reading the failure description it 
indicates that this should show up at higher frequencies - I'm seeing 
the symptoms everywhere - so even though this is in error, I'm dubious 
that this is my ONLY problem.

In looking at the schematic - it would SEEM that if the LEDs are 
lighting that there SHOULD be RF power - so I'm a bit confused by the 
symptoms.

Any suggestions?
