Hi Don, Thanks for your answer. The output of the 8V voltage regulator is just perfect (for a 10% device) - 7.98V. I was wondering why I get 500mV voltage drop across Q1 & Q2, but if you say that's OK, then I'm fine.
Slightly offtopic - I had also another failure of 2N7000 - again in Control Board, but this time Q5 (sidetone generation). I again made the temporary fix with BJT+33k resistor, until I order a batch of 2N7000s. Next time I mount those picky MOSFETs, I'll try to put a tiny bare wire across all the pins for temp protection... 73, Nikolay (LZ1NRD) ------------------------------------- Mail.bg: Безплатен e-mail адрес.
