FYI, parts for the Landwehr pre-amps
Ted at Radio DAN still carries replacement Mitsubishi MGF1402 GaAsFET (discontinued)

RF Parts lists the Mitsubishi MGF series
MGF1402 - was listed as $18.95 in 2007, currently (2011) you need to Call for Price. http://www.rfparts.com/transistors_2SKand3SK.html#bf
Check with K0KN ... from an earlier AMSAT-BB posting -- he may have extra !

PC Electronics carried the part in 2007, but they may have sold their remaining stock.

I'm glad you shared this all here Mark, I have a 2M Landwehr that's been cranking along since 1993 or so, I've never looked inside but this thread is something I'll keep in case it gets flaky on me.
