John, I'd like to offer an alternative idea- Back in the 1990's Q-bit Corporation made a variety of compact broadband amps for applications such as this. Many will happily run with a 0 dBm input and provide 0.5 - 1w or more out. There are usually several models available on eBay. Specs can still be found on the internet for some models. While many are listed for +15 or +24 Vdc input they'll often run fine on less but their gain will be lower. 73, Gary N6LRV

A few days back I inquired of the list if anyone knew of a small post-amp that would prefilter the XG3 square wave and give it about 30 dB boost. There were no answers. The problem seems to be that most QRP or QRPp amps already require a few tenths of a watt input, and the 1 mW from the XG3 is just too tiny... ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
