[amsat-bb] MGF1402 source or substitute

[Peter Gayle]

Terry,
Your timing is perfect.
I was also searching for the same device and came across a company in
California that has them.
I ended up ordering several of them because they are hard to come
across.
 
Take a look here.

Hello all!
 
I'm in the process of building up a LNA for 2 meters from an old copy of
the 
ARRL handbook.  The article calls for a MGF1402 GaAsFET.   I have yet to
be 
able to find any of those.
 
Does anyone know of a source for MGF1402s?  Does anyone have some they
want 
to part with?
 
I'm going to try to substitute in a NEC  NE3509M04, but it's a bit of a 
challenge to solder to!  What else have people substituted in for
MGF1402 
devices?
 
Thanks,
 
Tyler
