Re: Which xmit transistor is blown?
Just to see whether it puts out the correct amount of power why not just keying down CW?

Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
Allison, why would the MMICs oscillate and not a 2N2219A? Might screening of the mmic help? Iz oos, Simple the board layout is not suitable.? Screening is not effective. Allison

Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
Mini Circuits have developed many MMICS with better imd specs than the MAV or the ERA. The many Gali and the Pga don't cost much more. Maybe it would be worth to test these for TX purposes.

Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
This is exactly the layout I am suggesting Tom. It is very difficult to make such an amplifier oscillate with external stimulation due to the transmission line layout and low component count. One

Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
Allison I can see how that could happen if trying to fit the MMICs into the existing board layout. One critical thing has changed however: we have moved a PA filter section that was laid out extremely

Re: Which xmit transistor is blown?
Ok, I think I have this solved. Really short version: It appears that my major problem was the laptop that I was using for FT-8.? The laptop that I have been using is not putting out consistent

Assuming the MMC amps can work without the issues that are being pointed out, the idea of using an assembled amplifier board, for us retrofitters (like the assembled filter boards folks are creating)

Re: uBitx v4 new socket
I just noticed that from the first picture it's not so clear about what connector I was talking about, so I'll upload a new picture.

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
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
