Does anyone have experience of using the ERA-02 as a tripler from around 3.5 GHz to around 10.5 GHz? I know they work in triplers up to 3 GHz, but I was wondering whether they have a respectable perfo

I have just built a G4DDK PGA-103 preamp to use for ADSB receive on 1090MHz. The preamp will be mounted up on a pole, directly underneath a PCB antenna, in a plastic tube. I feed 12V up to the preamp
