Ngen MAR-1 MMIC Source

[Darrell Bellerive-2]

I just blew up the MAR-1 MMIC in my Ngen. A single dit of 15 watts on 40
meters was enough. Trying to just have a quick peak at the the filter
bandpass on Baudline and bumped the paddle. Yep, take the shortcut and pay
the piper. Should have taken the time to do things properly and unplug the
keys and turn down the power...

I am in the process of putting together an order from Mouser, but don't see a
MAR-1 listed. Anyone know off hand of a suitable substitute?

I am also putting together an order for a KPA100 and K60XV from Elecraft, so I
will order a replacement (or a few) from them if I can't get some from
Mouser.

You may order a spare through Elecraft by sending your reqeust in the
"comments" field when you placed your order for the KPA100 and K60XV.
I cna't remember the price but I want to say it was around $3 or so.
Yes, I blew mine up too... and ordered another spare for future use.
