The Fairchild/On Semi data sheet is common to the 2N7000/2N7002/NDS7002A. There are some differences in the maximum ratings, with the 2N7000 good for more continuous drain current (probably due to the TO-92 package). They all have the same drain-source breakdown voltage (60V).
I’m assuming this is Q5 on the main RF board. The active device parameters are different but not enough to worry about in the circuit where Q5 is used. It is nothing but a switch to reverse the active state of the 7R line to activate the big FET used for the Key Out line. The 2N7000 will be fine.

Google thinks a 2N7000 will do, but I'd sure like to get an expert opinion. -- 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the new Reverse Beacon Network web server at <http://beta.reversebeacon.net>.
