Squints,

to be clear, changing the original final to a MOSFET is not an upgrade.
the only reason to do this mod is if the original driver or final blows and you can't find a replacement.

your radio may do a few more watts with a MOSFET but it also may do a few less.
These types of mods are not written as a tutorial for the average home gamer to follow.
these mods are written for fellow technicians that understand that there may be circuit modifications necessary once the mod is done.

If you are not familiar with how to change the gate voltage based on quiescent current, or changing the values of parts in the driver and final sections then i would not recommend trying this.

Exit13 knows his stuff but there are too many variables for this to be some sort of "kit" that someone could buy on ebay and have repeatable results.
