I looked for 2N2712 everywhere, but I guess they are out of production.
I guess, I'll have to order it from you... 

The other thing is that I have lots of problems with noise units, cause 
they are bad noise units but great radio receivers (it mostly plays 
french radio stations :). Do I have to put it in Faraday's cage?
