And if your looking for 2N5686 transistors, don’t buy them on EBay!!! Buy them from a reputable distributor like Mouser, Digi-Key, Allied or Newark.


MOST if not all "NOS" transistors on EBay from China are counterfeit (crafty relabeling of who knows what, especially expensive RF transistors, but use your own judgment. You will most likely waste your time and MAY get your money back if you yell at EBay enough and be sure to use the work counterfeit. EBay takes a dim view of counterfeit items.). Been there.... done that!

Stay with the 2N3771. There is an even better pass transistor replacement that is recommended on the repeater builder astron page.
