A MOSFET switch the effective collector resistor in the first stage of the summing circuit between about 3 kΩ due to R<sub>e</sub> alone and the parallel path of 165 Ω. NXP's BF1108R has been selected for prototyping. Its typical <math>V_{GS}</math> for current pinch-off is -3 V (max: -4 V). Putting its source on the supply rail and switching the gate between 5 V (on) and 0 V (off). A bypass capacitor (not shown in diagram) near the gate lead is important to prevent spurious switching.
