Does anyone have any info on converting a Titan II to IRF520? Being a single final radio, it can't be but so difficult, although being a SMT board, it should be fun.

Roadpro Titan II convert to MOSFET?

Same radio as a Mag 257 but with a single final.
Haven't seen what you are looking for. If I were were in you spot, either replace the stock final with another or send it to a shop for MOSFET conversion. Shouldn't cost more than $40 for a shop to do the conversion including parts.

Just a 'bump' here for more comments . . .

Thanks Robb, yeah I'm more of a do it myself kind of guy, I've got a few IRF520s here that I'm not doing anything with. I guess it's on the the schematics.
Cheap
Sorry mate to rib ya but I have not seen cheap 1969's unless they are fake.
I think the irf conversion is a good one they are around $1 something each

He knows a lot about the MOSFET conversions as he has posted a lot about it on the tube.
He is a really helpful guy, he helped me out with some final problems before. Just shoot him a PM
Thanks again guys, the power output has fallen off on this rig from when I first got it running again, not to mention I never saw more than 17 watts PEP out of it. While I know it's not a powerhouse of a radio, it is a nice "clone" and does have some sentimental value to me. I especially enjoy the fact that there aren't many around my area like it, and the fact that it is a clean little radio compared to others I've got floating around. The FET upgrade is a cheaper part than the Mitsubishi 2SC1969, which if it comes down to it, would be the only bipolar I'd install. Cheaper variations don't do as well or have the lifespan IMO. I'm hoping that after it's done, I'll break 20 watts PEP.
Again, thanks for the info guys, I'll keep you posted on my findings.
