No hits for BGA591, can you give a link?
In some other forum, I recall a conversation between Ashhar and Allison regarding low noise mmic's for a VHF receiver front end. Can't find it anymore.? Allison had a favorite, quite cheap, extremely low noise figure. What was that part?

As an architecture, the ubitx is quite suitable upto 432 MHz. The changes needed would be as follows:

1. The front-end mixer would have to be an ADE-1 or and SBL-1. The current tranformers and BAT54s would cut it.
2. We will need a good band pass filter. Above 146 Mhz, stripline/coax filters are more likely candidates.
3. The LNA and power chain will need MMICs. they are cheap and easily ordered from . A pair of BGA591 can easily provide the obligatory 5 watts.
