[VHFcontesting] How do you know if an MRF-247 is real?

[John D'Ausilio]

for instance, item 180557984917 on ebay .. too good to be true? I've
got a Mirage and a TE, both with bad transistors, that I'd love to get
working again .. I wouldn't touch the "UK" variety, but how does one
tell if a Motorola-marked part is real or not?
