Palomar ERF-2030+

Like I said before months ago. There is only one person that shows a clean envelope from the 2030+ parts. More power to him if he likes them.
.

Why are we still being this dead horse anyways? Lol.
Possibly because your response is the most educated response to this topic and it makes a lot of these other people angry that they haven't been able to replicate your results.
 
Well, we have PM’s. I know you know exactly what I’m talking about and I’ve seen no such video from your friend. I’d like to though. Share, please.
If you Google this I'm sure you'll find it.
"BULLETPROOF .. READY, SET, GO!"
There's a few other videos doing exactly the same thing but this was the first one I found from a couple years ago.
 
I second this, the FQP3N10 is stronger. The specs are better all around for what I need them for, and it isn't some voodoo-hoodoo rebranded mystery part.
The new NXP parts seem promising!
The FQP3N10 produces less power while drawing more current. That's hardly a desirable feature. The Motorola mrf 477 would be a much smarter choice if you could figure out how to make it work.

Believe me I figured it out with free information from an actual Tech. (shout-out to the fellow wwdx member who helped me!)
I have an (Edit: HG) MRF-477 in my Uniden Grant XL. :whistle:
I should do a write-up explaining the process.;)

In my application (Mostly AM only mobiles) the FQP13N10 are what I prefer to use, your personal experience will vary depending on what exactly you are using the part for; I'm not looking to get into a pissing match with you about this. :love::love::love:

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
