Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.

Gain requirement is better than 40dB with P1dB above 43dBm. Supply voltage 24V. It is going to be two stage single ended design. I was thinking about using MW6004N as a driver. I am not sure if MRF281 can be used for this application as well. Any info about the available devices along with some literature for matching networks will be appreciated.
Regards.

I can't find any data on an MW6004N. Who makes it?
