I'm doing that at the moment, building it into a rack chassis. According to Nik I need to adjust the trimmer to bias the FET. How do you do that? Simple instructions appreciated Embarrassed

He gave figures of 20-22Vdc though I think he must mean mV surely?

TIA

You should bias the Fet with half the voltage of the power supply.
Edit: I build an old "public domain" model. I think the commercial design is different.

How do I measure the bias voltage? All I know is that the FET has 3 pins and a flat on the body. Do I measure pin to ground or pin to pin? I know sod all about the electronics of these things I'm afraid so I'd be very grateful if you could be very specific.

Thanks

The bias voltage is measured from drain to ground. So you measure between,  from the trimpot lug going to the fet, and ground. Hope this helps.
Mind; I build the public domain version; I don't know how the commercial is build. Maybe a different approach to both FET.
