Hi Everyone.

I am new to all this, So please excuse my ignorance. but looking at the schematic, it appears to me that the BS170 in the PA are just paralleled. Could one then double up each of these, ie, Parallel 6 of the BS170 for "10w" output?, never mind how to fit them, just can it be done, from and electronics point of view... and maybe adjust the capacitor for the added capacitance added by the BS170 gates?

Nick,

These are just switches.
In theory one would give the same power as six.
Three is the figure Hans reckoned that would take the switching current without getting too hot.

More power would mean more supply voltage required but the BS170 is already just about on it's limit.
