I HAVE ABOUT 3.2 VOLTS. BUT I THINK IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE 3.6 OR SOMETHING. ISNT THERE A DIODE YOU CAN INSTALL TO HELP THIS MOSFET TO BE MORE STABLE I KEEP BLOWING MOSFETS AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS OF USE.

oh i no disrespect to anyone here i know i am a newbie to the site but the modulator mod is kind of crappy it only overmodulates the radio. i will have to take a picture of the scope with this mod it realy messes up the audio. it clipps the audio no matter how low you turn your modulation down.
