Just finished doing the mod here. I have some good news and some bad  
news....

Good news is it seems to have helped on 40/30/20. They are now 3 to 4  
watts out. Previously I was in the 2.5-3.0 range at best with just  
the 30 m module in, and was never able to get it above that area.

Bad news is the 80m won't go above 0.5 watts out. I fiddled with the  
toroid spacing and it did not seem to make any change.

Now, I could not wait to go to the local electronics store tomorrow  
so I just put another 10 ohm resistor in parallel with R11. I doubt .
3 ohms is gonna make that big a difference, so I aint worried there.  
I am curious though what others are seeing for output on 80? Starting  
to wonder if I have something wrong somewhere....
