Including the magical SAV-551+ pHEMT. That's the good news. The bad
news is the price is double what it is on minicircuits.com.

I last ordered from them in August--$9.75 shipping. Of course they're
right down the street in Brooklyn, so UPS ground gets here in a day.

I could start a thread on this topic....Is it necessary to write a new post to correct an obvious grammatical error? Do people think you are sloppy or a lesser person for writing something that has a mistype in it?

I am of the opinion that most all of these posts are done in haste and are not here for formal review. We are just posting our thoughts. As such, it is OK to have errors in the post. If you are concerned that someone will judge you as inadequate because of a grammatical error on one of these forums then you are taking it too seriously.

I am not criticizing , but as a philosophical thing are you bringing more value to the group when you post a new post to correct a mistake that every reader would have automatically corrected. In other words, there was no miscommunication in the first post. Our auto error correction worked just fine. So why the second post?

It took me a moment to understand your complaint because Uwe's original
followup does not appear on my server due to Uwe's Supersedes: header.
Apparently you use one of those usenet servers that refuses to honor the
Supersedes: header.

Regards of venue, it's best practice to communicate your thoughts as
clearly as possible. Although you may clearly understand what you intend
to communicate, everybody else may not understand your intentions as
clearly as you do.
There's nothing wrong with using a Supersedes: header to correct a
grammatical error. That's why it's part of usenet protocol.

Thank you,

I just got the announcement email from MCL a day or so ago, so they
probably aren't in stock over there yet.

MCL stuff deserves to be more widely used--they're a great outfit. They
publish reams and reams of RF data. Apart from sometimes switching MMIC
fabs (and thereby changing the undocumented behaviour that some of us
exploit), they almost never discontinue anything. I designed their
low-cost SBL-1 mixer into the first commercial product I ever designed,
which was almost forty years ago. They still make it.

The only other outfit I know that's that solid is Microchip.

Cheers

Well, I judged the error as "sinnentstellend", as it was no more
clear anymore what I to point out.

He is talking about a German web site. It has been more than once that a non-English term was used here and at first I had to think if kimited was a German word. But I agree, a repost was likely not needed, still, there's nothing wrong with being clear.

AD still makes the LM329, too. Three times the price of the National/TI
one, but slightly better specs.

LTC was another company that didn't discontinue stuff, but AD
isn't--we'll see how that plays out. (I used to really like the AD639
trig generator chip--I used it in my proof-of-concept scanning atomic
force microscope long ago.)

A bit smaller multiple, but not actually cheaper. With parts like that
I rarely buy less than 50--I'm expecting to be in the biz another 15
years or so if my health holds out, so time is still money. ;)
