The only place in the US that you can get this is RFMW. They're nice people, but not easy to order from -- you have to email back and forth with a real person, email or fax a credit card number, etc. (In other words, they're not really set up to deal with hobbyists, but they'll try to work with you.) Their prices are something like (from memory)mondy wrote:Can no one help me with this one? Anyone got two spares?
1-9: $3.70
10-99: $3.30
100+: $3.03
Add about $7ish for shipping and 8.25% sales tax if you live in CA (I do). I ordered 10 SXA-389B and 2 of the more powerful SXB parts, and the total on my credit card came out to be around $55, IIRC.
I wouldn't mind trying to aggregate some orders to reduce the cost; if enough people are interested, I could order a batch of 100 to split. That will end up costing me around $350, so I don't want to do it unless there are enough other people around who would be willing to send me some cash up-front to buy them; if so, I could take PayPal payments for, say, $3.15 per part plus $1.50 for shipping (1st class mail), handling, and to cover the PayPal overhead.
I could also order some of the more powerful SXB-4089 -- I believe that they were a little more than twice the price of the SXA-389BZ, but that would also depend on how many we ordered at once.

I would disagree. Everytime I have ordered it has been a seamless process. Forget the back and forth emailing; especially your credit card info!!! All you have to do is call them. 877-367-7369 I always deal with a guy names Rich Veno. Very nice guy.bushing wrote:They're nice people, but not easy to order from

And it appears you can sample them too...

I could be wrong though

Yeah, Rich is cool. Let me amend that -- "you can't really order from them online." Not the world's biggest problem, but ... eh.MightyGuru wrote:I would disagree.

Please don't. Rich knows about this project (hell, maybe he's even reading this? Hi Rich? ). I first tried sampling the part from them and never heard back, so I gave in and ordered. Given that they know why people want the part and are willing to sell it anyway, and given that they're the only domestic source of the part, we should not abuse their generosity.magician13134 wrote:And it appears you can sample them too...

Re: anyone got a spare SXA-389B or two?
Thanks for the kind words.
You may see a sample link on our website, but that message is geared for Original Equipment Manufacturers. But we have no purchase min and accept all major credit cards so we can accomodate small purchases from hobbyists like yourself. My direct phone # is 410-878-7551 and you can also order from our main website, www.rfmw.com
