[Elecraft] MMIC's the easy way.

[WA2JJH at aol.com]

Microwave monolithic IC's are an easy way to from DC- 6 ghz,  My favorite is 
the one with 200
mw @1db of compression.   I use this for audio amps, RF  drivers, and IF 
amplification.
 
  They also make small signal MMIC's. The four lead device only  requires 2 
DC block caps,  bias resistor. An rf choke and proper symetrical  GND planes 
for over 50 mhz use,
 
  I am building an amplifier for the 150khz aux IF. I hd a few  idea's
 
   Oh, the mmic's cost 1.99
