- Thank you Ralph! I hooked the Omni up to a Pyramid linear supply that I have here. I can run up to about 10 watts and then the voltage sags enough to cause the frequency to change. So, I am ok if I s

- The transistor you selected should work fine but for the fact that the 2N5201 has higher gain. It is possible that your supply could be in oscillation as a result. Why did you pick the 2N5201? The 2N
