Thank you Salas, I saved the # 26 HV reg, but not this one.
Anyway I'm planning to power up some digital stuff: few mA only (even if I don't know exactly how many so far).
CCS set for 150-200 mA max with 9610 (as I have many in my bin).
This project has been set aside for the moment: waiting for V1.1 first ;)

Soon, I am finishing something with Crt. Any other mistake spotted? So to change and upload again. Don't change Mosfets if you can. Will work but a bit ''slower'' than tuned. The BJT can span from low to high. Gives narrower OLG and much higher Zo, but its interestingly open supersonic Zo due to lower capacitance. Its a VAS grade one, popular in modern power amps.

No, only in low. Gives 12x the Mosfet's Zo value in this design. But its flat Zo in band also, and open above, so its interesting. Beyond those extra 2 Qnumbers I have to wipe, did you find the guide would make you understand correctly? It was very difficult to write the least possible for something so configurable and wide application. *15031 in positive regs.
 
It is something to try in an actual application then and see. *I have 15031 also.
The guide was easy to understand for myself, but I have already build a couple of your regs point to point already. I would advise ones not familiar, to read it a few times first and then build, in order to avoid the usual "why it' s not working" questions.
