    There decent shops out there, I have had good luck with a few. Most online shops have message boards or comment boards kinda like this one, maybe check out some of the shops feedback and scope a few different places out.

    A MosFet Final is not a swing mod. Swing or modulator kits, decrease your radios dead key automatically, while allowing your modulation (audio) to remain at it's peak level. Modulator swing kits are a whole other side of the radio from the final transistor.

    You have to veiw it this way:
    *Swing Kits and Modulator kits are audio sound output
    *Finals are transistors to push the AM power output

    One is sound, one is power pushing the sound

    The MosFet final is the transmitter transistor, the term "final" comes from the fact that it is the fainal output stage transistor responsible for being the last thing in line to make you heard on the air, so to speak.

    A MosFet is simply a power output transistor (final) with the ability to increase the radios AM power output by 15-25 watts. A mosFet can do 25 to 40 watts. This is like buying a 4 cylinder car and putting an 8 cylinder motor in it.

    Most radios, like the Cobra 29 come with a factory transistor known as the 2sc2078, the MosFet is something like a IRF520 or and ERF2030 both of which I do install here in my shop.

    Mosfet finals are more like putting a 4bbl carb in place of a 2bbl carb,regardless of cubics inch's.

    They just add more fuel :biggrin_25525:

    FOR CRYING OUT LOUD !!!
    Would you people stop calling it "Tuning and Peaking" :biggrin_25510:
    A radio must first be "PEAKED" before it can be "TUNED" !

    If you really want to get technical, before you go slamming some old cb jargon in the ground... it's actually neither, Peak and Tune is a misleading statement for some thing it really is not anyway, I started hearing the term about 25 years ago, and it just will not go away, but, now, if you call it something else, no one would know what road your on, so, accept the statement Peak and Tune, Tune and peak, whatever you wish to call it, and just let it go. LOL

    I understand what your saying,but "peak and tune" is much closer to reality then the other.

    So I guess then an RFX75 must be like adding a bottle of nitrous to the radio. :biggrin_25525:
