Hi Saandy,

I have some russian power FET similar to the VMP4 and probably better
but there is no sense to use them as they are no more in production and
diffcult to purchase in East Europe.

I believe a discussion on Mixers is important particularly for a
newcomer. He must know all the different kind of mixers than he will
have to decide.... it is like talking about small car or motobykes
because it is better run with a bicycle...one should not know about
racing car or motobykes.... he can putchase a byke tha add a little
mosquito engine or pss to a bigger motobyke or a small car later ...
but he will know what he has (he will have to push a lot with his legs
and then see to push less or not at all).... it is like for a portable
RTX were consumption is at premium... you cannot put (probably an
h-mode mixer has you will have to spend 30-50mA plus an amplifier with
other 20mA versus a NE612 that needs 3mA !!! To hell the IP3... one can
use his brain as a DSP...hi
