--- Yuck indeed, but not a discussion, a condemnation by metaphor. And you, even having been in the melee for what now, ten years? pretend to be as thin-skinned as you were when you were first flamed and, certainly, are still extraordinarily homophobic. Methinks the lady doth protest too much... -- JF

** The tester I used then applied a 1uA current to the base while monitoring the collector current with a 1mA meter, DC supply was from a 9 battery. There was simply no meter deflection until the base current was applied via a push button switch. The particular unit was intended for SS transistors any generally gave low and misleading readings for TO3 devices and no reading at all for TV horizontal output transistors. So I designed a simple tester to cover TO3s where the user adjusted the base current so Ic became 0.5 amps and read the Hfe value from a scale around a pot. The correct test condition was indicated by getting two red LEDs to go out. One could also test the Vbe by reading the B-E drop at the same time - important for good current sharing in parallel BJT output stages. ... Phil

Some of those big old Moto parts had a lot of leakage currents, so the actual HFE might be less than apparent.

Yeah sorry that was what the 'probably' was meant to convey. I=92ll try to be more specific next time. I tend to =91guess=92 at a lot of stuff, but I try to indicate when I=92m doing that.

Nice, thanks for the numbers. I had no idea it was that bad at low currents. George H.
