    Galaxy DX 2517 Problem

    I Have Irfz24n mosfets in the final section of my 2517, no more power at regular voltage than the Irf520s but very durable. I am not scared to key mine it to a tube amp at 3:1 and talk local for an hour. The ranger rt1s are the same thing and they are pretty reasonable from lesco. 35 watts Is...

    SB220 voltage and tune sparking.

    When I got my sb-220 It had been arcing on the previous owner. What was required on my unit was a thorough cleaning of the tune capacitor with a jeweler's file where the plates had melted and swollen from the arcing.

    M104C Project

    Your carl built Is biased I would be willing to bet. I have noticed this issue with several 2879c biased amplifers. They like some antenna systems and not others.

    Power in Perspective / Transistors Verses MOSFETS

    Galaxy DX 959...GNF?

    Now if we had something like a switchable channel guard crystal filter that would be a good use for that switch. The Gnf just sounds bad.

    On the new President Washington the 2 Irf 520 finals run at 19 volts and are capable of 100 watts clean on the spectrum analyzer. Were there ever any BI-polar transistor in the same package that were capable of this?

    Power in Perspective / Transistors Verses MOSFETS

    I got started in the mosfet world, I like them personally you get good power with low amp draw and if bias is set properly they are plenty durable.

    Here is a sample of what you are missing on sstv

    The next project will be a tx rx interface for my old Dx 2517 at the house. I am also looking to try js8call digital mode when I get everything set up. Signalink usb would probably be the simplest solution but I think I can use this device available for much less at...
