Mar 6 looks like a good choice,, you made me break out my MiniCkt manual
I dont know how well it handles an input mismatch . The input circuit may
be a bit critical
but should only affect gain ,, if the NF is out of wack does it matter 
HAR


you could see if a 50 ohm term ,, double term it ,, would change anything
but  on the other hand if it works who cares

FYI several years ago MiniCircuits would supply their handbook Free and
it was worth every cent
shilling,,, All I did was to ask for one
