The assembly instructions show all the components for that stage as “do not insert” which I assume is because the Penelope/Pennylane/Hermes boards all have 0.5W output and don’t need that stage.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I want to use Munin with a lower power red Pitaya TX which will have closer to 1 milliwatt max output after going through a variable attenuator.
