[Kenwood] TS-930: 2N5885 Power Supply Transistors

[Linden, Mike (BRC-Hes)]

  I replaced the 2N5885s in my TS-930's high-current power supply a while
back. I'm now wondering if I should have used a matched pair since these
transistors are in parallel. Does anyone have any experience in this area
and know if I should have used a matched pair? And, if so, where I can get a
matched pair?

  Thanks, Michael N9BDF
