Hi David, that was the price from the UK site including a small order charge. It's a lot for $3 of transistors! 73

Is there anyone on list that could add my requirements to their order? I'm looking for 3 NEC NE25118 which are shown in stock. They are the RX amp transistor for my Microset 70cm linear RU432-95. The supplier won't help with spares and Microset won't answer emails even though these things are still for sale here in the UK!! Thanks to anybody that can help.

Hi Paul

I recently ordered a whole set of stuff from digikey and paid $22 shipping, but that was for a huge box. Was that the US site? They now have a UK based site selectable from a UK flag on their home page. This will give different rates and lower post. - Worth a try.
