Well, after building the Sierra with no glitches, last night I did the QRP
autotuner. My luck/stupidity was bound to catch up with me! On the good side,
it does work great, no problem, BUT, I put all the LED indicators backwar. Got
confused, because the instructions referred to the "long lead, with the
flattened side) as the anode (+). Well, the long lead was on the side that was
NOT flattened. So, I had a 50% chance to screw up...and did. Oh well, reversing
the LEDs won't be a big deal. I tried the tuner on all bands, and it works
great, so at least I didn't screw up TOO badly.
