I have a RCI-2950DX with transistor driver and finals (2SC1969's). I also have 3 mosfet IRF520's on hand that I could swap in place of the transistors.
Besides the "negative" of the labor involved in the swapout, is there anything to be gained by the swap? Will the 'fets give more watts out? Would the radio be prone to a greater level of harmonic output?
I'd like to hear the pros and cons from members who have made the swapout.
I know that there is more than just the devices to the swapout... resistors, caps, etc.
I don't mind doing the work if I know there will be a measurable improvement in performance.
Thanks.
