Radio on the Fet input

Post by txbluesboy »

Do I just need to put a resistor on the FET input ? Also,This application (SSS) has a FET gain pot on the front panel, do I just replace the output trim pot on the board with 10K pot on the front panel?

What FET circuit are you using?

The circuit I usually see here has 1M in parallel with 100pF to the gate of the FET. That 100pF always looked like a path for RF to me.

I prefer to run a lower R there (10K), no parallel cap, and instead run a small (150pF, styrene) cap from the gate to ground to simulate more Miller effect.

I do have the one meg resistor in parallel with 100pf. I'll try it your way.
Thanks Terry
