[1000mp] mkv died

[Stu]

update

ordered 2x blf147`s from http://www.xs4all.nl/~barendh/Indexeng.htm
paid for them Sunday 97 euros (68 uk pounds) and they were delivered today Wednesday {Holland to 
Scotland}
Installed tonight with the help of a friend and his gear for realign and check all ok

I did find a few cheaper but it would have taken longer or they wanted a minimum of 5 purchased also some 
were second choice so I think not original manufactured by Philips
http://knight.squares.net/kenkyu/device-e.html Japan worked out the cheapest for 2


So all working fine now to give it a test when the hf bands wake tomorrow

Thanks to all on and off who gave info

I also did the mod to the rf board while I was in that side just need to finish the mod later on this 
week on the filter board and do the nb mod at the same time

Thanks all Stu MM0BSM
