I'd appreciate any leads to a source of Telefunken CF300 dual gate MosFETs used in the old Landwehr UHF preamps. We are trying to resurrect one here.

Hi Jim,
I found this info that might help. The MRF966 is available from RF Parts for about $6.00. - Howie AB2S
Title: RE: Preamp on RF Concepts brick amp - GaAsFet?
Post by: K4RTS on May 11, 2010, 03:51:53 PM From the CF300 Data Sheet from Telefunken (From a pdf of the datasheet..cannot find a way to attach it here .)
N-Channel-GaAs-MESFET-Tetrode Depletion Mode
10 Volt 80 mA 1.1 dB N.F. @ 800 mHz 200 mw power dissipation
Its a GaAsFET....just a dual gate GaAsFET that was the thing 25 years ago May be replaced with a MRF966....I have tried both and see no noticeable difference in performance to my untrained ear.

Thanks to those who replied to this need. We have ordered one from littlediode in the UK. I'll post a note when we get it working or not. Seems like there are probably others out there that might be resurrected. I ran a pair of these for many years on a bunch of sats and they worked pretty well. Jim
