So did I! Ordered ten a few minutes ago. Good thing this discussion came up, as the TRW LT1001A CATV transistor in my station's W7IUV preamp has long been unobtainium. (I got a few from W8JI over 40 years ago, and this is the only one I have left!)
I could have sworn that I had some new 2N5109s in stock, but I couldn't find any. Thus the order. So, what is a good replacement for the 2N5109? I suppose it is an SMD device, but that's not a problem. Finding that J310s were only available in a very small SMD package, I bought some and soldered them to an adapter board (eBay) with solder paste and a heat gun. First time, and it still looked professionally done! It's just that easy. 73, Mike W0BTU On Sun, Mar 1, 2020, 7:28 PM Richard (Rick) Karlquist <rich...@karlquist.com> wrote: > > I just ordered some from Mouser; "March 30" ship date. > Over 4000 were supposedly available.
