Here's a funny story. Last week I ordered a KPA500. Two days later a nearby Ham dropped off his KPA500 that failed. His K3 was showing high SWR with no power. He purchased his a year ago and didn't want to pay the expense of shipping it back to the factory.
I found a defective Q5 (see the TR switch schematic) on the Filter board. Q5, an IPA50R399P is a 550v MOS Power Transistor. My question is; Q4 a similar device (an IRFSL9N60A) with almost identical specifications except it's a 600V, MOS transistor. Can I use it as a replacement for an IPA50R399P?
