Hi George, KA3HSW

The 3SK121Y is a Dual Gate MOS-FET in package SOT 143R
and it can be directly replaced by the very inexpencive BF998R
with same package

See the cross reference here:

http://www.go-ic.cn/admin/newspic/20061127185602infineon.pdf

The Noise Figure of the BF998R is 1 dB at 800 MHz

See the data sheet here:

http://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/BF998.pdf

I hope this helps.
