[hpsdr] Penelope-PennyWhistle initial operation

[AA8K73 GMail]

The lust for high power has called me and I'm connecting my 
PennyWhistle to my Penelope for the first time.  I not seeing 
gain out from PennyWhistle.


The Penelope is an original TAPR.  I made the T2 modification to 
rotate the output transformer.  When I put the Penelope output 
into a dummy load, and PowerSDR Tune set to 100, I see 9.5 volts 
peak-to-peak across the 53 ohms.


1.  Is this normal output for the Penelope?


When I put PennyWhistle on Penelope, the voltage to the dummy 
load is 3 volts peak-to-peak.  I even manually grounded the 
PennyWhistle bias control in case there was a problem with 
Penelope's PTT-out.  PennyWhistle's 13.6 volt power increases 
about 1 ampere when the bias control is grounded.


Any hints for troubleshooting?
