[QUOTE="s-band, post: 967016, member: 407744"] I think the designer is making too big a thing about the heat sink. Wrapping the thing in shiny foil might be better for desert locations. As far as performance, I'd use one over a DRO if I wanted low phase noise and stability (JAERO) but you might find a lower noise DRO for TV. The front end device specs quote ~0.3dB (20.7degK) and 0.35dB (24.3K) for the W & lite respectively (and that's without later stage noise contributions). I don't think the overall NF is getting close to those figures but it's not that much different to other consumer grade stuff. The W uses a wire as the input element which is what might be done to tweak a front end for best NF and to reduce PCB losses. However, I can't see it being tweaked on every unit in production. Measuring these low noise figures is hard at the best of times. I still think that the lite is a bargain. [/QUOTE]
