[NLRS] Instrumentation Amp Help

[Donn Baker - WA2VOI/0]

'Morning, Phil.
Take a look at the Mini-Circuits TB-17, which is an HELA-10 part, mounted on a board, with all parts needed to complete 
the amplifer.  +12 in, SMA in and out.  When I bought the ones I have they were $40 each.  1W out (forget the max input, 
but on the order of 10 mW), flat 50 MHz to 1000 MHz and usable to 1300 with reduced power output.  Without a doubt the 
best buy out there.

Mini-Circuits web site should have all the data sheets, etc.
