[Elecraft] Part substitution transistor/FET spec list

2009-12-08 Thread Kevin Rock
I am working my way through Wes Hayward's book EMRFD along with Doug DeMaw's book W1FB's QRP Notebook and am creating a new part order. Yes, I will receive discrete parts for my Christmas present. Since I needed something to put under the tree a nice box from Mouser would look just fine.

Usually a quick Google search will return several choices. Search for 2N substitution. I tried it and got several choices. You can usually search for the exact device and get the entire specification to compair. 73, AK5X Sent from my iPhone On Dec 8, 2009, at 2:00 PM, Kevin Rock

  I need some 2N4416s and some BB104s and find them either as scarce as hen's teeth or dear enough to make Croesus cringe. Kevin brings up good points. (Probably any general purpose FET will work, Kevin.) For a real challenge, try finding a dual-gate MOSFET such as the 40673 which used to
