Anyone know about instructions for the MD-1 mentioned for the radio in my subject? I see there are instructions on the topgun site but not specifically for that radio. I'd like to get a clean wave form over 100%.
I don't know if your radio is the same, I have this information from Six Star.

A strong wind blows out non-rf mosfets. SWR of 1.5 and pop! Mosfet finals not designed specificly for RF are garbage and have been garbage since day one. Sure they make power especialy PEP power and they make money for those that do the mod but that is about the best that can be said for them. Rember that gag int he 1980's where you put poop in a brown paper bag, light the bag on fire, rang doorbell and ran like mad???? That is what non-rf fet's pushed into RF work are.We just nicknamed it the Top Gun Assassinator. Tended to blow out MOSFET finals.
