MJ2955? MJE2955? I didn't know modern transistors had software.

 

[mc]

sure they have .. you program the electrons which way to go .also the
amount of amplification you want and I suppose liniarity and how
many dopants you want involved

Hi,
replace the OM345 with either a miniciruits MAR 3 or similar, or an nec
MC-5156or similar

I've replaced an OM series with an mar 3. Little bit more gain if I recall
correctly, and the 75 vs 50 ohm is usually not that crticial either.

Also... got a motorola 2001d if any one is interested?

Cheers

hi
2001d is a good buy for someone who wants it for themselves as I would
resell it not really suitable the om device he is talking about is om345
(om2045 is updated number ) still available from ifr in aust and states
with the us vs aust dollar quiet attractive to buy from us at moment
if I get anyone after a box like yours I will pass on

Hi Craig,
hmmm. I assume vicom is the point of sale for the spares here? I'm not sure
if it's their pricing policy or IFR but they are expensive for parts and
manuals, in my experience anyway. I was after a service manual for a 2031
sig gen. OUCH! $1000. Mind you I've not tried agilent for a service manaul
of late.

needless to say i waited patiently on ebay and picked one up for US$50.
