[Lowfer] Lowfer Final Transistors.

[LEE BAHR]

I am in the process of trying to build up a transmitter for my Lowfer Beacon 
I plan to get on the air this Fall.  I see that most of the examples on the 
internet use a pp scheme with a PN2222A and PN2907A transistors.  In really 
days of old the ancients used IRF single Hexfets.  The present day articles 
say, use PN2222A and PN2907A because they are cheap, but......  a 
NTE-129/NTE -128  combo might produce slightly better results.  Well, NTE 
transistors today are not all that popular and readably available as in the 
past. (I realize they still are available).   All the present internet 
articles were written a few years ago.  There must be some really modern 
transistors available today that would make good replacements for the "in 
every ditch PN2222A/PN2907A" units with generic numbers.

I'd like to know what others are using today besides the PN2222A/PN2907 
combo that might be as good as the NTE transistors in TO-39 cases.

I'd appreciate any comments.
