Rick,

I just got the multiplier.  It draws about 220mA at 15V, but won't
produce any output.  I've given it a wide range of input powers from
very low up to about 20dBm.  I took off the bottom cover, but it only
exposes the back of a very complex circuit board.  The only accessible
parts are the trimmer caps which come through the PCB.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Matt
