JT,
The green leads of T2 are meant to be long so they can be routed under
the core as shown in the manual. Mychael does a good job of tinning the
leads for the proper length, but if you tug on them during installation,
you can pull the untinned portion of the lead into the hole and the
result is a PTTL (poorly tinned solder lead). If T2 is mounted right
down on the board, there is often a drop-off of maximum power on the
higher bands. Should you encounter that difficulty, consider re-winding
T2 as a first solution and mounting it 1/8 inch above the board.

Holy cow! I got it to work!
It was definitely a improperly tinned green lead on T2. So much for
buying pre-wound/tinned 'roids to save me some grief. Heh.
Thanks Don. What a relief. Time to button it back up and continue
40M TX alignment.
