Robb, these were the instructions I used to perform the install. The only things I did differently were that I didn't put the cap on the back of C59 and I didn't remove the tuning slug at L14 (I'm still trying to figure out how I'm gonna get that sucker out, or at least move). No offense was...

Other than trying to tweak L14 and subsequently breaking the slug and getting it stuck in the tank, no. My thinking was that I would wait for that until after I had got this mosfet install sorted out, but I guess I can try it now and see what happens. Any other thoughts/things you'd do differently?

I've been reading this thread: IRF-510 in a Cobra 29 Impressions To quote the original post from CTStallion, and compare my steps (in blue)- Some other thoughts/comments on this- I ordered some 47-ohm 1W carbon resistors and 220 uF 35VDC aluminum leaded electrolytic caps from Mouser today...

According to this, when looking from the front of the radio to the back, and with it upside down (because we're on the solder side), the gate would be the leg on your right, correct? That's the one that I checked. Your comment about the lack of "wiggle room" with mosfets is another reason that I...

Well, I have a solder jumper between the drain and L15 (again) and I'm transmitting. I put the red lead of the multimeter on the gate pin, and the black lead on a screwhead showing on the solder side of the board (I wasn't really sure where I was supposed to ground to). Doing this with the...

I'm assuming that I need to be transmitting to check this?

Before was about 3.5-4W deadkey swinging to around 15PEP and somewhere between 4-5W RMS. As far as meter accuracy, it's a crapshoot. I've been using a Dosy I bought off Ebay, but I'm getting pretty damn close to the same numbers off my little RadioShack SWR/Wattmeter that I used to reference...

Allow me to start off by saying that I know there are many of y'all out there who prefer the bipolar transistors to the mosfets, but I'm not interested in that argument right now as much as I am trying to work out the problems I've created for myself in the name of learning new things. I've...
