A local store sold me a BD243C. Physically it is different (it looks like a LM7812), but they told me it is equivalent to the 40310. What do you think? 73, Franco IZ2OOS 2009/7/11 Joe Pyles epy...@indy.rr.com: I've replaced the audio output device in a couple of 2C's with the NTE175 and had NO

Good input, Joe. Now we know that the NTE device is safe. That probably means the Drake circuit used some explicit frequency compensation and didn't rely on the slow power transistor for stability. Dennis AE6C On Fri, Jul 10, 2009 at 10:49 PM, Joe Pyles epy...@indy.rr.com wrote: I've replaced

The RCA 40310 is a 4A 35V device designed for wide safe operating area up to 29W in audio applications. It's very low cutoff freq of 750KHz strongly suggests epitaxial base construction which is hard to find today. The Drake application is being gentle on the device, so you can probably get away
