LF,
I've nearly completed my new PA for 500 kHz and have now managed to
stop destroying FET's.
 
Unfortunately I have an unusual problem in that the heatsink cooling fa= ns
are going U/S.

The fans may be slightly over-run but only by a volt or so and on key-u= p

I have rf decoupled them from the supply but maybe not well enough= !
 
Any suggestions in curing this problem would be most welcome.
