I left that note on my computer in Wichita so I'm sort of broadcasting this response in the blind . . . I used Digikey as the first-source for any drawings I publish. They stock an extensive collection of International Rectifier parts.

I'm not familiar with the Mouser product offerings. Bob . . . ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 05:48:36 PM PST US From: "Robert L.

I got all the parts from DigiKey, including the IRFP 3703. I was finally able to test that circuit today. It worked exactly as predicted. With only the 0.1 ohm resistor, the current was limited to about 6 amps. This did not allow the motor to go as far as desired. So I added the parallel 0.5 ohm resistors one at a time. With both in place, it allows a bit over 8 amps, which is where the motor just starts to strain. This is also about the same place where the reed switch triggers. The mosfet does get rather warm, but only if the switch is held longer than normal. I also plan to build the Electronic CB circuit. When it was published, Bob's said to wait until others had a chance to review and comment before building, so I haven't begun that process yet.
