Dear Bill, Thanks a lot for the advice. I am much happier now.

That's good to know. I touched the metal frame of the (wooden) desk I was working at, and picked the MOSFET up by the black foam. > they want to ensure clearance above Q2. I was afraid that it was a very high gain transistor but looking at the spec sheet, it is a 10 ns switch time part. Following your suggestion, I will remove the part bend the leads and install it again. >HAVE FUN!!! Hey, thanks Bill! This was a (rather expensive) gift from my girlfriend and I am enjoying every bit of it. 73, Chris ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
