480MHz SAW filter

[FPV Matt]

All I want is something like an ECS D480A. Checked ECS's website to find uk suppliers and there are 3 of them...hooray!

But... Annoyingly, one supplier does not stock them routinely and the minimum order is in the 100's.

Another drop-ships from Texas - £12 delivery for a £2 component!

And the other - with UK in their URL and listed as a uk supplier - turns out to be based in the US; postage is £12!

Can't find anything suitable on RS or Maplin; so I'll order from a components company in the US that charges sensible shipping prices.

So to end my rant, does anyone else on here require one of these filters?

Have you tried DPCAV?

I've had parts from DPCAV and postage isn't too stupid.

Thanks chaps.

My original post was an offer - I would be happy to get one for anyone else that needed one, as it was looking like they would have to come from the states.

However...

Jeff, I was only after one. If you would be willing to sell, I would gladly buy it!

Also, If you're talking about replacing a filter in an RF module I can point you in the direction of a guy that will do it (for a charge). He's a very skilled electronics engineer.

Cheers,

Matt

I also hate the high shipping costs from USA for a little item as small as my tooth.  :o \0/

You find a European supplier here on Ebay:
