Back on the original subject a bit: it's not just huge data sheets
which can be... well, less than wonderful.  I invite you to take a
look at the sheet for the Skyworks SKY65050-372LF low noise
transistor.  The evaluation board schematic on page 8, and its
associated bill of materials, invite careful examination.

The data sheet ain't bad, for an RF part. It actually has DC curves.

But what happens if you try to use it below 0.45 GHz?

the schematic diagram is a mess, rather than actually fixing it...
well, I assume this was a Management decision.  I think I'd
have been ashamed to be the Engineer, though.

There was a division of GE that didn't call parts Rs or Ls or anything
on schematics. They just gave a part a number. Not R141, just 141.
