Re: Drat. NTE is gone, and they took the last 5-GHz PNP with them.

The NTE2403, similar to the BFT92, but a bit better overall.  Dunno who
actually made them. (I saw the news on s.e.repair today.)
 
Rochester claims to have 1,500,000 of the 2SA1462 (1.8 GHz) for 20
cents, but that's all she wrote.
 
I have a couple of reels of BFT92s and one of BFG31s, so I'm good for
protos and small production, but I can't use PNP wraparound bootstraps
for customer designs anymore. :(
 
Barstids.

Lots if RF snall signal low noise stoff in LNBs:

  Does that help?
 
 
Complete LNBs inclusive transistors and peeseebees are 5 dollies on ebay.

Thanks.  It’s not a 50-ohm system, so using those would be hard. I have
thousands  for personal use, but can’t put them in licensed designs, which
is what I’m moaning about.

Can you use mmics? There are some really cool, fast, cheap, low-noise
things around. Just because the RF boys test everything at 50 ohms
doesn't mean we have to use them at 50 ohms.
