Hi Nikolai, I'm very sad to heard this because I already buy 20 parts!!!
mmm I was thinking about use a 4066 switch so I think that it will not increase
the cost too much but I will need an extra pin out of the pic to control that
gate and this is a problem :).
I will inquire about the Phillips Chip here, see if I can find it in argentina
thanks!.

Hi Andrew , I already did that but does not work, may be because the change
of state generate harmonics in high frecuencies, I don't know why but still
not work :(.
thanks.
