Ed,
I too get only about 3W on both 40 and 20. I have not yet installed an
80/30 kit, so those 2 are all I have. I wondered about it, but never got
around to doing anything. I am curious though...

OL may also mean out of range. Take the auto ranging off your DMM. OL

there is no silkscreen

Besides the obvious point of operating in the Novice portions, there are
slow speed nets, some of which are actual traffic handling nets, and some of
them are just nets for the sake of training folks to get their speed up.
