[Elecraft] RE: XV50 on 70MHz

[Don Wilhelm]

Allan and all,

I have seen the high minimum order problem when attempting to purchase 
parts that were listed on an older parts list.  There is usually an 
alternative.

As a generalization, situations where the minimum order quantity from 
Mouser (or DigiKey) has increased to a huge number has been created by a 
change to RoHS compliant parts.  You are likely trying to purchase a 
non-RoHS version.  Normally the same part in a RoHS compliant version is 
offered *but* has a different part number - scanning the product pages 
will often reveal the equivalent part that is available with a minimum 
quantity of one.

73,
