SOT89 looks like it may mount but at 5GHz suspect it needs to be flat against the ground plane ? G. 73, Roelof, pa0rdt The only BFQ19s that I was able to source were SMT. Did you get them in another
73, Roelof, pa0rdt The only BFQ19s that I was able to source were SMT. Did you get them in another package? Did you need to use a heatsink with this transistor? 73 Stewart/G3YSX
Hello John, A Schottky diode was used to minimize the voltage drop. However this is not an important issue. On an other note, instead of the trusty 2N5109 a BFQ19, a modern rf transistor, can be used
