[NLRS] Replacement for INA-10386?

[Donn Baker - WA2VOI/0]

Hi Scott,
The MGA86576 might work as a "drop -in" replacement (possibly with bias changes required), but its a better part and 
you'll get additional performance if you do a little playing with the input noise match.  You get up to 2 dB better 
noise figure, for example.  I'll send you the two data sheets an let you look for yourself.  (The noise match is an 
added L... I think you could guesstimate what to do from the data sheet and come close.)
