It was a sole source product from NXP, which was discontinued end of 2014.
As direct replacement was stated the BLF7G27LS-100,118, of which an Ampleon datasheet can be found on the Internet.
Do assume the spec's will be useful.

Hi Roberto,
So it does work now! You can drive the module a little bit harder than 4 dBm, VSWR will not be 1 at input.
Good luck,
Cor
Hello Roberto,
If the module is not oscillating, the decoupling will be OK..
Do you have placed via's in the connection board to ensure the top copper is connected to the ground?
I did solder copper tape around the edges and placed copper under both the connection board and module.
Maybe you can add a copper strip between the module screw at the output side and the connection board.
Succes!
A pity to read your experience. Normally this module does not give any problems. Essential however is a good grounding,
I used thin copper foil under module as well as the board. see my earlier photo.
My module easily outputs 2.5 Watts without overdriving the input.
I experimented with a trimmer at output, but that is really not necessary.

See movie I posted above !
Sorry Remco, too complicated.....
I had to dig deep into my archives, but did find the modification I made long ago to my TS-811E for driving a 70cm linear.
It was based on an article by DJ7ZZ, which cannot be found now anymore on the internet, so herewith a PDF copy.
Also I did find 2 photographs of my actual modification, a small PCB just above a DIN connector.
In contrary to the article I did put the PTT line on the new to mount ACC1 connector.
So easy to do, good luck!!

OK, so that is good value for money then!!
Great job. I try MRF21030 and MFR21045
Do you have any indication of the actual output power of the MFR21045??

Mike,
Look for a step recovery diode on eBAY, gives great harmonics result for 5 dollars.

Hi George,
Yes, you are close. It are combined L/C's. So wideband filters.
But any ferrite bead L will do also.
Good luck!

Here you can order 10 pcs for 10 dollar. Passband is 728-746 MHz.

Thinking out of the box you can do it also this way, see photo....
Alternatively search for an old Stolle rotor in which the pipe can be put through.
Of course it all is depending on the antenna system you will be using.

Display MorePerhaps this is costwise a better alternative? Delivered from the UK.
IF frequency 122 MHz so ideal for the SDR. Antenna can be replaced by a N connector if wished so.

In the attachment of this article you will find a detailed modification description of the xtal and input filters for 2300-2450 MHz.

Friends, which PA do you recommend for broadcasting in WB?
See my thread Wideband High Power PA for 2.4GHz
Maybe interesting when you are looking for a serious video system?
Models up to 500 Watt available.

Hi Frank,
This overview contains a description and internal picture of the Megasat Multifeed. But it sadly is a DRO model..........

PA0P Cor do you have this already??
Heiner,
Yes, do have for several years a few MMDS downconverters,, including this one model. They are easy to convert by changing the Xtal and tuning the filters.
Did use them for AO40 and regular 13cm reception.
