But it never happened, there were plenty of other devices to do the job and the VMP4 never really went anywhere. Nowadays we have a huge range of power MOSFETS for switching (very cheap) and others for RF, (expensive) and a plethora of components for building very good receivers - which are usually quite cheap. Its all down to mass production and who wants what components. Now who's showing the nostalgia syndrome :-( Andy G4JNT > -----Original Message----- > From: Alberto di Bene [mailto:dibene@usa.net] > Sent: 2001-03-16 10:44 > To: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org > Subject: LF: Re: EF50 > > > Rik Strobbe wrote: > > > >A pity, I threw away some old VMP4 devices only a few > weeks ago in a > > Oh, no !
