- I've noticed a bunch of auctions for MRF-150 power transistors recently on eBay. The ads depict parts made by Motorola, claim that the parts are new, and are all coming out of Hong Kong. The sellers

- Am building an HF amp, and will need several large (~3" diameter) openings in the chassis for ventilation. I would like the chassis to be as RF tight as is reasonably possible, so trying to figure ou

- The big issue with parts like the ARF-1500 is managing the heat. For high duty cycle use, like contesting or RTTY (or worse yet, contest RTTY :-) ), you are dealing with dissipating something like 15

- Dan, to answer these questions, you have to do some math. The answer depends on a variety of factors, including the thermal resistance of the junction between the transistors and the heat spreader, t

- Paul, My sense is that you are better of buying a used 50v supply from the telco equipment industry than you are trying to build one. I especially like the Valere rectifiers, like this one: http://ww

- To do the cooling right, you have to do some math. You start with the max allowed junction temp and the junction-to-case thermal resistance (both specified on the data sheet of the device), and work

- Obviously, a key issue when it comes to this type of question is cost. If you are looking for an absolutely professional "look", and aren't too cost sensitive, I recommend Protocase: www.protocase.co

- FWIW, cooling 750 watt parts is going to be a PITA. All the more so if you use two of them push-pull on the same amplifier module / board. Water will help, but only somewhat, and has been mentioned i
