And finally... the mcHF is transmitting...:)
Both Vimal and myself had ordered the MOSFETs from multiple vendors and one among them reached me last week. I replaced both the IRF510s which I had soldered temporarily with the newly arrived RD16HHF1 mosfets. Connected the SWR/Power meter, dummy load and pressed the PTT and whistled. The meter showed close to 10W in Full power mode and showed almost 5W in 5W power setting.
And now I can say the transceiver is complete. Meanwhile I also re-wired an ICOM microphone to work with my mcHF. Shall post some transmitting videos soon. :)
