Never realized that the mfrs of the 10m export radios w/dual MOSFETs are using upgraded mode switches and beefier circuitry to keep their radio from expiring in the most predictable ways. One would think they would get the spurs out of them - too . . .

I had also rebuilt a 458 and used the MOSFET mod. Radio output runs nearly as cool as a cucumber; because I didn't try to squeeze the last watt out of it. Put in a Galaxy 55 meter in it. Looks and runs great. One of the better radios that I've gotten, repaired, and rebuilt.
