I have been playing with a new Triquint ULNA device (TQP3M9036). It
Shows a lot of promise. It is like a MAR or MSA device in that it is
50ohm in and out. and has a claimed NF about .4db nf ( their numbers).
I have built several pramps to test them and have gotten even better
than they claim and they cover 50-1296 with ease and NF is .4ish or
below. The S11 and S22 are both great and the OIP3 is +35db also
...very nice device. It has great promise as a good terrestrial LNA.
Preamps are foolproof to build and would cost under $50 if all the best
quality parts are used.
Just for information only ...

Hi all,
The VH501 is been sold and no longer available.
I still have two VH602's to go. One is already modified and the other in
original state.
If necessary I can modify the other too. I prefer to let them go together.
And of course it will be at a real ham friendly price.
Please e-mail direct.

Thank you Bob,
You are correct, I had "Xpol" checked as its last use was with my 2M
Station.
Now Map-65 works with the SDRplay and HDSDR, as well as with the FunCube
PP+.

For sale is a new in box unused LABE 1296 Mhz dual tube cavity from Parabolic of Sweden. Uses the 3CX100A5/7289 type triodes. As new, silver plating very nice, never used. 250.00 plus shipping. Thanks, W5FH.
Hi All,
Instead of always sending out docs concerning the IC-9700
And how to modify it like it should have been.
I updated my webpage where it can be downloaded.
Also added a file how to modify the DXPATROL GPSDO V2.0 to
Have more then it can do now for very small price

Jim, W6PQL has a set of instructions for integrating the 9700 and his amps. It does not involve ALC but rather setting the transmit delay on the 9700 to it's max. The instructions are on his website W6PQL.com . Of course, that assumes you are using the 12v supplied on the transceiver output to power your preamp and switching relays.
