I did not have a clue what this post was about.
So I googled G4ddk VLNA and came up with a .pdf which included the following.
Quote:
Voltage checks
Connect +12 to +20V to the feedthrough capacitor C18 and the negative (ground) to the
solder tag.
Connect good quality 50Ω SMA terminations to the input and output connectors.
Adjust R14 fully anti-clockwise and then turn clockwise about 30 degrees (not critical).
Switch on the supply and check that the total current taken is approximately 80mA +/-
10mA.
:Unquote.
It looks like +12v (or maybe +13v from a car batery) at 100mA to me!
Have a look at the .pdf to see if it ties up with what you are doing:

Hope the link works.
