BS170 - is used for the QRP rig PA





The 2N7000 PA was described in my blog message sometime ago. The BS170 by Fairchild can be also used for QRP rig PA. It is N-Channel Enhancement Mode FET. The Maximum Power Dissipation Pd is 830mW, therefore it can be suitable for QRP rig PA. The transmitter section of ADC-40 is the dual BS170 and it generates about 4watts with 13.8V power supply. The small heatsink is required to use BS170s for PA because it will be hot and drops the power. The PFR-3A is the triple BS170 for PA and generates 5 Watts with 12V power supply.
