[Elecraft] XV-144 with high NF?

[Bob DeVarney W1ICW]

Actually, looking at the spec sheet for the ATF 34143 , I see that the 
sweet spot for both NF and OIP3 seems to be around 40 mA current, so you 
would want 40 mA across the 4.7 ohm resistor = 188 mV.. so I'm not 
really worried about NOT getting the higher voltage but I am concerned 
about the high NF...
