Just wondering here. How much part to part variation do devices like this display in their gain characteristics? If I had ten of these transistors, is there a good chance I could identify one with significantly better gain and/or power efficiency than the average? Would a simple measurement of hfe identify such a part, or is it more complicated than that?
I've seen a Youtube video wherein a guy who sells 2SC2166 devices made by Eleflow substitutes this for the Mitsubishi made part and seems to get a bit more power output out of a CB transmitter. Is this likely to represent a gain of efficiency of the final amplifier, or is it just a part that is just needs a lower bias to operate at its best?
