irf 510 mosfets?

[iceman78]

I found a 510 mosfet from radio shack in my box 'o junk. I was wondering if anyone has any experience using these in lieu of the 520. If so what if any are the differences in performance between the two. The subject radio may be a cobra 29. Thanks for any input.

I just tried messing with the fet and i must have done something wrong because i couldnt get anything out of it. Then put it back to stock and did the normal modifications and got it to do what it should. Time to keep tinkering i suppose

I have a few radios here that I need to work on. I was thinking about going the mosfet route however I did up a few 29s last week and with the stock final I was getting a bit better than 40 pep.

On what meter? Just not seeing that, sorry.

Since you're not seeing it, I'll show you then.

This is a Cobra 29 Night Hawk I worked on.
Test parameters: 13.8v power supply. Bird 43 w/ Bird PEP kit & Bird 50A slug. 500w dry dummy load.

Here's another 29, just a normal LTD Classic. Also getting +/- 40 with the same BIRD meter and test parameters identical.
