I notice that Kits and Parts have a good quantity of the through-hole version of the 2SC5706. I think the through-hole version of this transistor is now obsolete, which is why I'm interested. I'm attempting a scratch-build of a 2N2 for 20M, and wondering if this transistor would be a suitable replacement for the 2SC5739 final? Either way, it looks as if it could be useful for QRP PA's.
