Hello Suds

Just curious, is this Group buy still active?

Are you shipping boards?

Anyway, I'm looking for a set of boards including power supply for the F5.

If available, please advise how to order and latest cost including shipping (to USA).

Thankyou very much.

Well while Im asking qustions:)

I know I want to build an F5, but I have no idea what the differences are between the various F5 group buy boards.

There must be a reason why there are different pcb variants of the same circuit are out there.

But I cant find the answer in the multi hundred page theads.

Can someone in very baisc terms summarize the differences?

Best regards

Curt

I have both and either one is outstanding.

Peter's boards fit the same form factor for Mosfet spacing (up to 6 per board 3+3 or 2+2) as his previous boards F4, etc. so they are interchangeable on the heatsinks. Resistors are smaller spacing unless you set them upright.

CViller's board allows for wider resistor lead spacing if you prefer to place them flat (axial) on the PCB. I've put PRP's on CViller's and tiny Dales and Vishays on Peter's. It was also no problem putting PRP's vertically on Peter's F4 boards.

LU1014 attaching

Picture of F3 PCB looks fine, but I,ve got a question. How Q1 LU1014 is suggested to be attached to radiator ? From the very first picture looks like it upside down relatively to the Mosfets, so have to be fixed to the radiator differently.
