I'm interested in building a couple of low-noise high-gain vhf-uhf preamps, and have been told that MMIC's are great little devices for such purposes, since they are stable, and most configurations require but a few external components. I've searched through all my catalogs, Digi-Key, Mouser, Newark, etc.. and there is no mention of MMIC's in any of them. My question for some knowledgable person(s) on the net is: Where can I find: 1) a source of MMIC's and 2) some information, and possibly circuit ideas on the pratical application of these devices. If I knew the name of a manufacturer, I could call on them for info, but I'm totally in the dark here. Can some kind soul help me out? Thanks very much! Russ Crisp Western Carolina Univers
