Re: Has anyone built Ashhar's Specan?

Re: IRF 630-IRF640 vs IRF510
You have to figure out if really the PA is blown. One way is to find out if
the bias pot can increase the PA current from 0 to the required 100ma.
if that works, i would look for charred resistors

No argument here.

Having been on the receiving end of a “War lead bullet”, I can assure you lead contamination was my very last worry. Repairing the hole was of much greater concern.

Yup.
As Allison notes, a primary issue with the IRF510 as an RF amp is heat transfer from die to tab.
It was designed to turn on blinkers for an automobile, which cycle at around 1hz and spend very

Re: On the subject of fake IRF510
If you want a low level carrier to tune with, a slight modification to the
CW mod will do it. The CW mod I'm referring to is the 10k resistor from
