Thanks for the link Lester,<br><br>I took a look at that a couple of days back, just a tad too much gain.<br>That would be back to padding the output of my Penelope to get it down to 1mW then padding the driver amp to get it down to 1.5W from 5W.<br>
<br>I might be able to rip out the 2nd and third stages to get what I need and match it up with the proper output section though. That 1mW input is a bit low, would have to pick a transistor that could take at least 300mW so I can put a clean signal off the Penelope into it.<br>

so I am looking to put together something that will give a nice clean ~1db gain
as an intermediate.<br>
I know, small order, but not so easy to fill<font color="navy"><span style="color: navy;">………….</span></font></p>
