[Hackrf-dev] Replacing the LNA/PA

[Robert Chadwick]

Sorry if this is a duplicate.

Looking at the schematic, it appears the HackRF uses a MGA-81563 for the LNA and PA. As these appear to be EOL, and there appear to be many 
complaints about the RX performance of the HackRF, has anyone replaced 
these with something better? While I haven't yet looked closely at 
datasheets to check compatibility and pinout, looking through Digikey 
there appears to be a number of possibilities. Might it be possible to 
fit in a PSA4-5043+ in place of the MGA-81563?
