[DSP-10] an upgrade to the mini-circuits mar-6?

[John Scherer]

Hello All,

I'm new to the group and haven't received my dsp-10 kit from & DSP module
TAPR yet.  I have been looking into mods for this radio, specifically the
MAR-6 amps and came across this:

They use the HP/Avantek MGA86576 as a replacement for the MAR-6 and claim a
2-3 dB NF improvement!  Anyone ever try one of these?

Here's the spec sheet: http://www.minikits.com.au/doc/mga86576.pdf

Cheers
