Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
Allison, why would the MMICs oscillate and not a 2N2219A? Might screening of the mmic help? that provides 20 dB of gain nearly flat out to 4 GHz with a 1 dB compression point at +18 dBm. It is 50 ohm

Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
Warren, Both Jerry and I tried? that.? I use MAV11 a lower gain higher output part and getting to oscillate in ubitx environment was trivial.? Getting non-oscillation was very very difficult.?

Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
I have ordered many small parts off ebay from China. One has to be very careful as there seem to be many substandard parts. You may get a good batch from one source and a bad batch from another. I

Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
Ok Warren, sv1avn is a good supplier as rf-microwave is, of course if you test the mmic from the Chinese supplier are ad good too I might well consider it. Thanks for testing them and keep us

Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing

Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
Warren, from Rf-microwave, which is a reliable supplier, they cost more than 6Usd each. Can you provide us the name of the ebay seller that offer Era5 at 1Usd really made by Mini Circuits?

Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
There is a much better way. Very radical but probably less costly and better performance? The Mini-Circuits ERA-5+ MMIC is a single, pin head sized gain block that provides 20 dB of gain nearly flat
