Solder together leads B' and A. Put the resulting single lead into the center hole. The two holes outside the rectangle are not used. They are for an optional feedback winding. The schematic is slightly confusing because it shows the optional connection of a feedback winding to C8 and C15. <br><br>The output attenuation only at 15M is strange. There is a window in the PowerSDR console that allows the Penelope PA settings to be adjusted in software for each band. From the Main Menu in PowerSDR it is accessed by clicking on Setup. The settings are then displayed by clicking on the "PA Settings" Tab.<br><br>I am going to put my response back on the reflector to see if anyone else can offer an additional

I will eventually get this right.<br>
<br>
The line should be:<br>
<br>
1) Use the small diameter wire in the kit for the windings in the center
tap transformer (T1). The large diameter wire is used for the windings in
the autotransformer (T2)<br>
<br>
The -302 core is smaller than the -202 core<br>
<br>
T1 = small core, smaller diameter wire. T2 = large core, larger diameter
wire. <br>
