Selecting power Fets for 500 KC transmitter
Greetings!!!
I plan on building a 500 KC transmitter, 200 watts output. I have never worked with power FETS before. What is the selection method used in determining which FET to use?? I see some great FETS cheap. Example: IRFP254 250 volt Vdss RDS on .14 Amps 32 amps Rise time : 51 NS Cost; 2.50 each The data sheet does not spec any freq's ( Ft) like bipolar transistors?? How do I select the right FET??? freq range Thanks!!! The 500 KC transmitter will run at 28 VDC |

I can hardly imagine just about any device like this having an Ft so low
that it wouldn't work at 500 KHz. What ham band do we have at 500 KHz? wrote: Greetings!!! I plan on building a 500 KC transmitter, 200 watts output. I have never worked with power FETS before.

I doubt that even 200 watts will get you there with any normal ham antenna... denny / k8do RV7 - even super SLOWER build.... |

It is a temporary authorization to specific hams or is it for something
completely different and it just happens to be a ham who asked the original question??

DO a search on the 500 kc and the call and you should come up with it... denny |
