ASM-1/MAT-02

[gstopp at fibermux.com]

     Hi Rich,
     
     The MAT-02 has been farmed out to Newark by Analog Devices, according 
     to the agent at Hamilton/Avnet ("where chips go to die" were her exact 
     words) so you can probably get a bunch from there. I've been running 
     my tests with pairs of brand-new-but-not-matched 2N3904's and they 
     work fine, at least after they temperature-stabilize. I'll bet that 
     hand-matched brand new 2N3904's would work just great. Don't expect to 
     never have to touch those fine tune knobs, however.
     
     I'm getting some samples of MAT-01's from Analog Devices, which are 
     popular parts and still easily avialable. I want to see how stable the 
     VCO tuning is with those and I'll post the results to the DIY list. 
     They're probably expensive, though, I forgot to ask.
     
     - Gene

Got my ASM-1 board in the mail yesterday -- looks nice!  Thanks, Gene!
     
One thing I don't see addressed in the documentation is availability 
of parts.  Are there any that are hard to find (in the US)?  The 
MAT-02 for instance?  (Or are most people going the hand matched 
transistor route?)
