I use these for UHF receiver boosting.

I don't have any need for balanced input/output, nor the cost of
interfacing, the between-lead spacing of .022 in. is out of the
questing, too easy to bridge between pins ... IMHO.

I gave you two versions of the same preceison amp, in answer to your
example of a mediocre amp. If the leads are too close together get the
unit in a case, with 50 Ohms in and out.

Telemon is right though, the original thread was about HF, and the 3
term device that the other guys referenced, or even the 3 term device
Ten-Tec used 8 years ago, are superior to your little 40 mW MMIC.
